Star Trek

was rather like getting some cotton candy. it looked nifty hanging in the window of the vendor's cart. i was totally fascinated by the machine that made it and the skills involved in getting it to spool up so beautifully on the paper cone. the texture was neat for a few bites and i thought the way the texture changed when i handled it was interesting. eating it was fun.

it didn't taste like anything but sugar. later, my mouth burned from the sweet and i wanted some water. my hands were stained from the dye.

a few years from now when i see the cotton candy cart i will only remember that it is pretty and interesting to look at, and i will order it again.

Lovely simile. Me, I ate it up and didn't question. But I'm like that.

Well, that makes me feel better about having no time to go to the cinema in the foreseeable future.

Waiting for the DVD

Cleverly put. I'll get around to borrowing the DVD from Our Sister puppytown when the time comes.

I'm not sure I've ever read so many online discussions of something so few people claim to have strong feelings about.

in case you were wondering what it's really about

I'll remember that warning if I get the urge to try the stuff. But I'll probably try to see it in Imax anyway, and I don't think they have the stuff there.
