A Wandering WeyrCat...

Movie Poster/Cover. Courtesy MemoryAlpha Finally sitting down to see Star Trek (2009). I'd honestly avoided it, but now I want to see Into Darkness so I have to see it. This is more bits and things that I thought while being re- introduced to characters I know and love. You can also scroll to the bottom for a summary :P First, they definitely emotionally invested the watcher in the movie right off the bat. A very good move I might add, it absolutely worked. And I LOVE who they got to play Kirk's parents. I totally dug McCoy's entrance. LOVE Bones! It was always hard to pick a favorite character, (can't I have Sulu, Spock, AND Bones?) but McCoy never failed to entertain me. Some chicks loved Kirk, I loved Bones! That might be a lot of my mom's influence too though. I can't stop laughing at Bones in the beginning of the movie... "I can fix that" "OW!" The actor doesn't seem to sit in the roll well though, like he's trying ...

Busy day. House leaking again. Rook got a waterproof boot and a soft cone (for when I leave the house) and thinks I'm the meanest mom ever.... though she can run outside again. Lab plates coming along nicely. Had to replate the transgenic tobacco (oh, THAT abaxial, gotcha). Spider Plant is doing awesome (gravitropism definitely wins pout in the stem, but the leaves still sun down at the light source). Vampire Plant almost died; I think we need more water in his dark tinfoil/cardboard cave. Ran again, completing my May streak and signaling my return to running! Still short distances, 0.7, but more than zero and three tunes a week! Go me!

It's two days since Rook ran through glass and sliced a centimeter deep gash between her toes. Changing her bandage makes her so scared. I feel like she thinks we torture her. It's healthy pink tissue but will take a long time to close/heal since she still walks on it. We did take time between studying and cleaning to go out to eat, and chose a place where we could sit outside and take Rook! We brought treats and the waiter even brought out a pan of water just for her!

Gumbo Limbo #Nature Center. #Plant lab worked in a real #research lab today! Took a few snaps of the butterfly garden and the view from the canopy lookout. Not sure if I should say what the graduate students are working on, since it's her dissertation, but it was fun stuff (most of it).

There should be a #zen proverb about the floor of your car and the way of your life. I think I'd like mine today. #studying while #walking at the #dogpark after #running 0.5 mi. Also, 8h2o, 21min YinYoga, 3x10 kPush Up.

Final grades posted! Five A's and a B+. Ran another 0.5 mi, yin yoga, and 1.75mi walking at park. Getting there. Booo B+ kills my chances of reclaiming 3.9 GPA by graduation!

Sometimes I have a life, and sometimes I have #finals. I did see an amazing #moth at the train station. Thanks to butterfliesandmoths.org I think it's an #Antheraea polyphemus. I unfortunately removed it from it's hiding place in order to save it from the stupid human throwing wads of paper at it, trying to poke it with a pencil, or nudge it with her shoe " to make it fly". UGH. Dumbest #engineering major I've ever met. I hope it made it. :(
