What made me happy today? Into darkness.
Yesterday evening, I finally got around to watching Star Trek: into darkness. And I have to say: what a movie!
It's an emotional roller coaster. Yes, I cried (uhm, du-uh). I absolutely love the way Simon Pegg portrays Scotty! Karl Urban as Bones is an amazing casting choice too, he even manages to deliver the 'Damn it man! I'm a doctor, not an *insert what Bones is not here*' line.
But the award for best character in the movie goes to Benedict Cumberbatch. He plays the bad guy and he just nails it. Best casting decision ever! And he just has the voice to make you pay attention, without having to raise it. A bit like Alan Rickman.
The one negative thing I have to say about the movie is this: the lens-flares. I know that J.J. Abrams says it's a 'stylistic decision' but I find them annoying. He might as well have called this movie Star Trek: into the lens-flare.
but if you haven't seen it, I really suggest that you do! You might want to wear sunglasses ;-) Enjoy :-)

To boldly go...
What made me happy today? To boldly go...
Where no man has gone before.
A friend gave me a gift-card for a culture and entertainment store. I decided to stop by that store after work today, in the hopes of getting 'Darth Vader and son'. But they didn't have it :-( So, slightly disappointed, I decided to take a look around the store. That's when I saw it.
Star Trek: into darkness. Which I didn't manage to see in the theater. As I loved the previous movie, I decided to pick up a copy. Now all that's left to do is grab some popcorn and I'll be off to have a Star Trek marathon.
Yes, with tea. Earl Grey. Hot. ;-)

These are the days
What made me happy today? Having a great day!
Wow, I had an amazing day. Slept well, got to work early as there was almost no traffic. Then, around ten, an email came. It announced that one of my colleagues was celebrating her birthday and had brought strawberry mousses for everyone! Super tasty :-)
In the afternoon, pie was announced through email. Another colleague was working her last day and had brought pie! I had a piece of apple pie, really tasty :-)
My day was super productive, so my boss let me go home an hour early. I had already worked a lot this week, so she felt like I earned it. And when I came home, I found a note in my mailbox, saying that a package had arrived for me. So I headed to the post office to pick it up. When I opened it, I found a note inside, thanking me for my order :-D
Now, I gotten more notes in packages, so it's not the first time that that happened. But this one is special, because it's hand-written. Awesome! Thanks Luci Daum design :-)
Now I'm going to unwind by doing a Star Trek Voyager marathon. If you don't hear from me again, I'm lost in the Delta quadrant ;-)
