Miserable day out.

I need to take those videos back, do some errands on Capitol Hill, and then head to Riff and treebyleaf's to catch the premiere of Enterprise. Not looking forward to the drive. People always drive like idiots in weather like this.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was a lot of fun, but I can't possibly recommend it to anyone who isn't already a big fan of Kevin Smith's films -- it's essentially one long in-joke. But since I am a big fan, I thought it was great.

After waiting impatiently for days for my voting key to vote for the location of the next Convergence, it finally struck me last night that maybe they'd sent it to my "other" e-mail address, an account that I don't check very often -- not since August 1st, it turned out. They had. I found my voting key -- after wading through over 600 pieces of spam. No joke.

I slept for over twelve hours last night, which is ridiculous. My sleep was troubled by a strange series of dreams, a kind I've had a couple of times before in my life -- dreams where I meet someone and fall quickly and deeply in love with them, and I wake up feeling shaken and lost, and have a hard time remembering that the dreams weren't real. I have no idea why this happens.

"Enterprise" ....

I don't believe it! It wasn't terrible!

I've been joking for weeks now that the Geek Prayer^TM consists solely of, "Please, God, let it not suck." And for once, those prayers were answered.

I was awfully fond of The Next Generation, and it was occasionally excellent, but it always seemed strangely ... bloodless, to me. Deep Space Nine was interesting and occasionally compelling, but never felt quite like Star Trek to me. Voyager was just trash.

This -- actually felt like Star Trek to me. Like the Star Trek I remember.

I don't know if I have it in me to be a fan, again, exactly, but .... This was worth watching. I'd watch it again. (Which is good, since I taped it so wendolen can do just that when I see her tomorrow.)
