    Synchronicity much?! My Hunny & I wouldn’t watch #StarTrek XI til we finished Enterprise so, long story short, my MacBook aka Macelangelo had gone in for repairs prolonging the wait. Once Macelangelo was home & functioning again, I celebrated by going to my “Movies 2 watch” playlist on Hulu. As the playlist is alphabetical, Alabama Moon was first up & Jimmy Bennett impressed the Hell out of me. So imagine my surprise when he showed up as James T. Kirk that very night when said Hunny & I finally got to watch Star Trek!? I ❤ the lack of randomness that makes up the chaos of our visible universe!

    PS: I have a “Fave Films” playlist underway too.

    Play a thin tune
    on a paper horn.
    Old is dying.
    New is born.

    Scatter confetti
    over the floor.
    Sweep an old year
    out the door.

    Blow up a wish
    in a bright balloon.
    Whisper dreams
    to a midnight moon.

    Play a loud tune
    on a paper horn.
    Old is dying.
    New is born.

    Dr. Who And The Daleks

    Having spent December stowing away on the #TARDIS, peeking in on the first seven incarnations of #DoctorWho, I’ve decided to go thru the entire classic series. I finished its second storyline this morning & have just discovered it was told again as a film. The characters are terribly misrepresented, especially The Doctor himself (human? hardly!), yet it’s admittedly fun to see the story in color & filmed with better resources. As ridiculous as this version is, it’s also ridiculously fun since the script is almost identical to the original. I’m thrilled to have found the film – free, no less – so soon after seeing the real story. ^_^

    On a personal note, I’ve been working toward spending more time on Earth this coming year in hopes of reconnecting with my fellow humans. I was starting to reintegrate with the current timeline today when an inexplicable allergic reaction made me too sick to function. Doctor Who is always the right answer (or is that always has the right answer?) so Who better to come to my rescue yet again?! Even this version will do. ~_^ To happy accidents amidst Time And Relative Dimensions In Space (& the New Year)… (|_|*ch33rs*|_|)

    Transitioning from Allhallows Even to Los Dias de Los Muertos:

    “Halloween’s an opportunity waiting to be seized; not only to let our imaginations run free but as a meeting of minds. Originally celebrating summer’s end, over time — as holidays are wont to do — it got hijacked became more. Having long been a festival of the dead & now the lead-in to All Saints’ Day & All Souls’ Day, those whose Eve it is are a hallowed bunch. Always a celebration of spirits, as cultures merged, it also became spiritual. It’s marvelous mesh of ancient & religious traditions dates back to the pre-Christian Celtic calendar since its year ended on 31 October, the eve of Samhain (pronounced SOWin); celebrated with religious & harvest rites together. Samhain is also the name for November in the modern Scots Gaelic and Irish languages.” —my blog post, “Allhallows Even”

    #SteveJobs, you will be missed; RIP good sir, thank you for your creativity & our connectivity! To staying hungry & staying foolish… (|_|*ch33rs*|_|)

    “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. …

    Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs
