Verdict on the New Star Trek Movie:

First 15 minutes: the most awesome thing I’ve seen since the end of BSG. Goes a long way to explaining Kirk’s entire character. The theater in Dessau released Star Trek XI (aka Star Trek 0) Wednesday night (:D a day before the US release :D), and Janine and Micha and I went to go see [...]

Selbstporträt II

I went out this morning to take more pictures, and while I didn’t get out of the apartment as early as I’d been hoping, morning and evening light here last forever, so it was no problem. It went a lot better today, since I had figured out how it (self-portraiture) works on Friday and I [...]

TV Overdose

Battlestar’s end was just too awesome! I need my fix of BSG, and now I’m going back and rewatching early episodes. Recognizing all the cylon skinjobs in the show makes it more amusing. I’m not sure it’s helping that two guys from the show are now in Dollhouse… Having finished BSG, I’m finally getting back [...]

“There must be some way out of here…”

I had serious concerns after Daybreak part 1 because I thought it lacked the punch of some of their more epic episodes, but come on, there were moments in part 2 to rival the time Galactica jumped into the atmosphere on New Caprica! I really loved the opera [...]

The Cliff of Graduation

I’m going to try to fit all the things I need for four months into a hiking backpack and a carry-on backpack [...]

Tea Party

I finally got around to drawing some lab glassware for the header of my blog. I love lab glassware! Kind of a bizarre interest I agree, but I like the sets of shapes and sizes, and when I was a kid I spent a lot of time sitting on the floor of my dad’s office [...]

Battlemac Cake

Sunday was a pretty nice day. My dad made a “German pancake” with strawberry filling for breakfast before church. My mom and I had a nice time talking to some new people at the potluck afterwards. I’m a little disappointed with myself for not doing anything particular in the afternoon, since I have quite a [...]
