back at it

ok so the Trek convention was... EPIC!

here is why:

more details later.

So much to do..

Man, how do I decide what I am going to do.. and why don't I have more weekends to do them in!

Here is what I have in mind:

-This weekend, Star Trek convention.  No debate there.  That is where I will be.
-Next weekend, possible long weekend if I take Friday off of work.  4 days!  If I do that, do I
               -Go to Kelowna to spend time with my Grandma, cause I am well overdue for that
               -Chill in town and work on the Friday to save that time for a different weekend to take off
-Weekend of July 9-11.  Was going to go to San Fran, but won't now as I can't afford it.  Can go to Seattle for a car drifting event with work and stay in a hotel for free.  But have to find a way down there.... and maybe take *that* Friday off of work?
-Weekend of 16-18.... I know something is going on here but I can't remember what...
-Weekend of 23-25.  Since I joined that Danish Sisterhood.. they are having a members BBQ on the 24th which would be fun BUT I can also go to San Diego for the comicon.. I have places to stay and everything.. and I sure won't get to go to that when I'm in Denmark.. but I will have my share of Danes.. :)
-Weekend of 30-1 I should head over to the island to see my brother and his family, as it is my nephew's birthday the week after but I will be in Hawaii instead! 

Man, I do get around don't I....  Maybe that mystery plan for the 16-18 is just sitting at home and not talking to anybody.. that sounds pretty good... hmmmmmm........

Oh, and after Hawaii I don't have any travel plans really... except for maybe DK on March 10?

Trek in 4 days!!

So Sunday ended up being sold out... boo!  Thats what i get for waiting for friends.. I should have just booked my own stuff.  The crap part of that is that Sunday is the ONLY day that Captain Kirk is there... so..... I did what any other faithful trekkie would do.. i bought an all weekend pass for over twice the amount of the Sunday one.

I figure.. I have a Ceti Eel tattooed on my head... whats a few hundred dollars at this point, to MEET WILLIAM SHATNER.  It's not much, I can assure you.

I simply cannot wait for this epic weekend to get here.  I'm even borrowing some fancy camera lenses from a friend for my Canon so I can get some good (better?) shots of Bill and Lenny while they are doing their talks in the auditorium. 

Boo-Yah!

wtf??

Can someone please tell me why that d-bag is
IN FRONT OF CAPTAIN KIRK??!?

take a seat in the back pal, not only are you part of the worst trek..

its the newest too... jog on...

oh hai...

Buying my tickets today!  I don't even care if I go alone... 

Also, I am so paying $80 to meet William Shatner and get his autograph.

Go ahead and judge!!  

It will look fabulous next to my autographed pictures of Will Wheaton and Leonard Nimoy.

Sunday.. Sunday.. Sunday......

Now if only I had some Danes to accompany me...

feb 9

i lost a day in there somewhere ...

here i am in copenhagen!
flight was good, uneventful.
my six hour layover in amsterdam was nuts.
went through security complete with xrays to get to my gate, found my gate to be small and cold, asked about showers and was told i had to go back to the other end of the terminal, so another passport check and stamp. showered for fifteen euros in a facility that was not worth it (letter to be written), ate some fast food (mayo at mcdonalds in holland is basically tartar sauce?), napped in some 'comfort chairs' and then went through security complete with xrays again, went to my gate, found that it had been switched, spent 25 min finding new gate, read book. phew.

got into copenhagen at 1030 pm, got my suitcase, spent 10 min figuring out the train, bought a ticket, waited. an announcement happened on the platform in danish and everyone around me moved down the platform, so i followed.. got a train, *actually* got off at the right stop! and was found by amalie and allan! and lucifer too!

walked to the homestead, settled a bit and tried to sleep.

the first day was all over. i napped and woke up and napped.
taking a night time flight when you dont sleep well on planes to go to a place that is nine hours ahead will take its toll!

yesterday, once i was up, amalie and i wandered to the pharmacy so she could get some things, then we picked up some snacks and headed back home. we both have colds currently, so there are alot of various drops being taken and tea drank. and kleenex used. and hand sanitizer. good times! i hope we kick these soon.

watched loads of star trek tng as well. always a good remedy.

i think today i am back on track as far as time goes. ill shower eventually here and bundle up and maybe head out to some shops and to explore a bit. either that or ill read the camera manual im currently downloading, as i brought the french version with me. way to go me! .....

Lucifer and I outside the pharmacy

home sweet home

I finally got benefits from work, so dentist tomorrow. Its been a year since Ive been for a cleaning, so Im somewhat looking forward to it. I hate the dentist but I love my teeth to look good. Hopefully he can still help me out to fix two, by way of tearing them out of my head and putting in fake ones. Have to get this all done before my contract runs out.

I heard today that they are pushing back the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince til summer of next year. Bunk!

I fucking love star trek voyager, and I dont care what you think.

Know who kicks ass?

William Shatner, thats who. You can't even deny it. He rules.

He changed the world you know...
