Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
I don't know if I'm meant for a world where Star Trek is suddenly cool.

Next thing you know, they'll do a new Dark Shadows movie. =( And people will be talking about "getting in on the ground floor" of Quentin/Evan, as though it's a new thing. ;__; NO. NO. IT'S PROBABLY NOT A NEW THING. Although Angelique/Nicholas would be really awesome.

Plus Quentin's too sexy to be played by anyone that isn't named David Selby between the years of '68-'71. Just... dgjks adkjgk. It takes a lot to pull off those sideburns.

Or they'll do a remake of Saturday Night Fever and suddenly disco will be cool and I'll have no dorky place to retreat into myself and be shunned from the rest of the world. XD Well, maybe Italian horror movies or D.W. Griffith silents or something, but that all just sounds pretentious even though I really do enjoy them. XD I'm being silly, I'm sorry.

I went to help at the nursing home today, something I'm pretty ashamed to say I haven't done in years. Some of the sisters from my church hold a party for them every month, serving them cake and stuff-- the thing that bothers me about it is that with the exception of my mom, all the sisters who're doing this stuff are at the age to be at the nursing home themselves. It made me feel pretty terrible-- I mean, c'mon, I know nursing homes are no one's favorite place to go but on the same token, more than half these people don't even get visits from their own family. Not all of them are in their right minds but that doesn't make them any less deserving of someone coming over to see about them. And-- ulk, I don't do anything productive with my time besides lay around and be selfish and pretend like I'm going to write something and the least I can do is to try to help somone else out. I told them I'd be glad to help next month, too, they really needed someone to take the plates and stuff.

Anyway. Chewbacca also got his first rounds of shots. If Caroline can be believed (I wasn't there), he attempted to bite everyone there. XD It turns out he has roundworms, which... means we'll be recurring visitors at the animal hospital. The vet who treated him was the same one my mom's been going to for her dogs since she was twelve (in 1964). I think Corpseman has a new candidate for his name.

Though I've failed to catch any of the Star Trek waves, cool or uncool, it is weird to see liking Star Trek being a socially acceptable thing to do. Blessed are the geeks, I guess...

SUDDENLY, a wave of American remakes of Lucio Fulci films! Thousands of them, featuring stars straight out of the MTV labs! Fffffff! Disco is wonderful, though, and there's a part of me that keeps saying, "Naw, it could never be hip again..." but what do I know.

Volunteering at the nursing home sounds like a really awesome thing to do! It's for a good cause, and the residents there do deserve as much love, care, and attention as anyone. Good on you for volunteering!

Aww, hopefully Chewbacca gets better soon!

It is weird. >.> I pretty much grew up on reruns of the original Star Trek (my mom was a Trekkie and while I'm not that hardcore, I cannot deny being a fan at all XD) with a side of TNG, so... yeah. XD It's very strange.

FULCI LIVES, OKAY. And Fulci will haunt any American remake that dares to come across! XDDDD ... Part of me says that, too, actually. =(

I hope so. I used to do it a little more often when I was younger, tag along with my mom, service projects over there for school and I just feel better when I'm doing it. sgkdj Thank you.

I'm sure he will! XD He's a really feisty mutt...

Star Trek has always been cool :< At least in my world.

Have you seen it? It's really an awesome movie.

Nope. I might, depends on what everyone else wants to see when we go to the movies.
