I'm watching the NFL playoff games.
The Greenbay / Giants game should be a good one! :)

Relaxing mostly and recovering from an operation (I had one wisdom teeth extracted couple of days ago, it didn't go smoothy).


Ouch. It can be a tricky procedure, IIRC there's a facial nerve which runs very close to the jaw at the point where they have to operate.

In the UK, it's common for dental pain to induce secondary financial pain :/ A few years ago I had to have root canal and a crown due to chipping a tooth and not noticing (was the rear face) until it got infected. I can't complain about the quality of the work, but it sure wasn't cheap.

There you go, you successfully got it wormed into her brain :lol:

Anyhoo I'm just sitting back and listening to classic Genesis (wait, why did I specify? That's the only Genesis, there wasn't anything afterwards) whilst I touch up and file the week's Internet image stash...

Problem for me was that I had an existing infection that caused considerable extra pain. Additionally the local anesthetic had little effect on me (it has worked before so it was somewhat puzzling), and the surgeon had to inject me 8 times (2-3 being the typical dosage and 11 being the absolute safety limit). It still was extremely painful.

I could have gone through the public heath care system but I can easily afford the private sector these days. It wasn't cheap for sure, but at least I didn't have to wait for ages.

I'm not very ambidextrous myself, so I'm just listening to music, having a few sips of diet coke, and digesting food while I read amiga.org.

I'm with you on this one. I thought Trek V was just an embarrassment. I did enjoy the 2009 reboot, although I think like most action movies today, the sound FX and music was too loud for the dialog. (That might have helped Trek V ;-) )  
BTW, there's another film in the rebooted Trek in the mill.

Yeah, it's a shame V was so bad... I wanted to watch undiscovered country... Never mind, the gf also enjoyed the 2009 reboot, and I too am looking forward to the next one :)

Karl Urban and Simon Pegg were great!

STV was indeed awful. Trek '09...I wasn't impressed. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't very good. Just a big empty-headed action flick that happens to be set in the Star Trek universe, that's all. Didn't have any shred of nuance or subtextual depth to the script, which is something all the good Trek movies had - even freaking Generations tried for it - and anyway the direction was just spastic enough to make the action less enjoyable than it should've been.

I wish Hollywood would wake the hell up and remember that action movies and good writing are not mutually exclusive...

Karl Urban is Deforest Kelly, though.

Pegg made a great Scott, different to Dooan, but great... The real star was Karl Urban though who played Bones somehow more DeForrest than DeForrest himself, quite amazing! :)
