The unintended (nice) result of revision week (no lectures to study) is that it lets you go on long walks and catch up with people in way you can't during the busy year. And to get some closure from the year, I guess. Which is what I did yesterday.
Today, I went and watched the new StarTrek film. Not bad, though really nothing special. I like the new cast and will be interested to see where it goes from here, but the origin story itself felt obligatory and forced. Entertaining enough I suppose, though I prefer the onion article about it at http://www.theonion.com/content/video/trekkies_bash_new_star_trek_film?utm_source=a-section .

Soft Night
silent graffiti
sprawling words stretched out on cream pink walls
spattered from on high by the seagulls
that freewheeled and caw-cawed through aharsh pink sky
still graffiti
a motionless oasis
in violence, silent. calm,
but eagerly longing for discovery:
notice me!
here! I am out of place
no whitewashed walls
a monument TO MAN’S INGENUITY
no pyramids of the metropolis
only the loving work of boys
somewhere between testament and confession
they who posses nothing
but are the property of adults
spray themselves out on other adult property
this is mine! until the paint
is covered by another layer
dogs piss at a fire hydrant
silent graffiti
crackling ground under Nikes
and from
far off
the whirr of sirens.

The Onion video clip is pretty funny. Video was different in the 1960's ... just see the move "2001: A Space Odyssey" which was oh so thrilling and futuristic when made, and now is a snooze when you watch it! Are we becoming ADD as a civilization?
