The Canadian Invasion – December 10 – 13, 2008
On December 10, 2008 my parents will arrive in Melbourne to spend 3 months in the land down under. They will spend close to 4 weeks in Melbourne before jetting off to Cairns and exploring the east coast of Australia for the month of January. Returning to Melbourne in February for a week and then heading off to New Zealand for 2 weeks. I will be joining them on this trip, while Lauren joins us for one week.
Their arrival is just 3 weeks away and I’m very much looking forward to showing my family my 2nd home, Melbourne.
Also a few days later my cousin Blayne and his wife Natasha will arrive in Melbourne for a few days. They will have been travelling around Australia for a few weeks. So it will be great to see some more family and Canucks.
Star Trek returns – May 8, 2009
On May 8, 2009 in North America and around the world, a rebooted version of Star Trek will appear in cinemas. The film will feature a new young cast representing the iconic crew members of the USS Enterprise.
The latest trailer is out at: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek
This isn’t your father’s Star Trek or even my Star Trek. Its aim is to make Star Trek a global entity that appeals to a younger generation; re-introducing James T. Kirk, Spock, Bones and the rest of the crew to a new audience.
Many of the older generation who grew up with Star Trek, may not like it. But I of the younger generation who grew up with both the older Trek and the newer (but still stodgy) Next Generation, am very interested by what I have seen. I have already seen the trailer at least 10 times and I am very intrigued.
