Monday May 11th Morning Musings

Good morning everybody, here we are at Monday again. Congratulations on surviving your weekend.

Confession, I get super distracted by TV, even when it’s on the computer beside me. This show The Mentalist is pretty good.

The sun is shining and there’s no plan for rain in today’s weather forecast, it is supposed to be a little bit chilly though. And there was a touch of cold in the apartment when I woke up this morning.

By all accounts the new Star Trek movie is a huge success. I have heard no less than 3 fantastic reviews from friends, it made the most money at the box office over the opening weekend, and Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto were on Weekend Update with a special appearance by Leonard Nimoy. IMDB has the box office returns at a total of $76.5 million for the opening 4 days. I’m a little amazed that it didn’t make the money that Wolverine made in its start.

This will be Monday night number 2 without a new Chuck to watch in Prime Time. There will be Blue Jays baseball and probably a Chuck re-run as well. But it’s just not the same. Still not wallowing, just saying. I kind of want to watch the season finale one more time. I think that we have it here today.

Side note: Plan is to watch Fanboys later on this afternoon. I am quite excited.

Best wishes to everyone for a great week. Remember that this weekend is a long one. Make your plans, have your fun and be safe.

President Obama cracked some jokes this weekend at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. There were Hilary Clinton jokes, Joe Bidden jokes, and my favourite, the Dick Cheney joke (he wasn’t in attendance and Obama explained it with) “He is working on his memoirs, tentatively titled, How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People.”

The countdown is now on for Romeo and Jake being here for the weekend.

Big love goes out to E-ve after a long, long day at work yesterday. Everyone loves Mother’s Day, but it means things are crazy busy at a lot of restaurants.

Side note: People that purchase technology should come to expect that things will not always run smoothly. And in the case that the technology doesn’t do everything that you want it to, find out who can help you and accept that. For example, if you have an Apple product and you buy it at FutureShop or a pawn shop or a garage sale, you’re going to call Apple for support.

I think that’s all for today. Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy friends and families and even foes. People make the world go ‘round.
