• @tidesong and I finally got around to seeing Star Trek this weekend.
• Honestly, I didn't see why everyone seemed to think this was the best movie ever. Sure it was an action-filled sci-fi movie with names of characters and things taken from Star Trek, but it was not a Star Trek movie. Although I'm aware that that's probably what everyone likes about this one so much: lots of action, very little cerebral-ness (cerebrality?) and no speechifying from Shatner or Patrick Stewart.


• Bilbo Baggins restaurant in old town Alexandria has lots of good beer, but the food is way over-priced for the quality.


• Finding two flat tires on my car Sunday morning (one clearly the result of vandalism) was not the best way to start the day. At least there was a place that was open Sundays and could get everything fixed pretty quickly.


• My hearing is noticeably diminished in my left ear and it's unsettling me. =(
