Hello, Star Trek, Books, and Art

I’ve neglected writing mostly because I can’t think of thigns to write about that would substantiate a meaty many-paragraph post. If you need evidence of that, you can look at my last..10 posts. But rest assured, I have a few things to say.

• The Star Trek film is going to be awful. Creepy actually informed me of this long before I wanted to believe it. I’m seeing the film on Friday and, yes, I’m so afraid. What worries me is that J.J Abrams is going to make a beloved series into a mainstream digital-this-and-that film full of pretty boys, needless action scenes, needless sex scenes, hard-to-believe relationships, and bad attempts at quippy dialogue. We’ll see. I really hope I’m proven wrong.
• A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin is a splendid book. I don’t normally care for stories about political intrigue amongst royalty in some fantasy world, but I was pleasantly surprised at the end. Best of all, I still have three more books in the series to read.
• Art. I want to cry because I haven’t seen this guy’s art sooner. It’s that good. Please take a look. I rarel ever post tons of links to random garbage on my blog (hehe).

Okay, Shane, I wrote!
