Friday Movie Review- Star Trek

First off, I would like to apologize for how VERY VERY LATE this movie review is. Mommy and the FD and Uncle Sean and his girlfriend (and me as a stowaway) all went to see this movie the day before the FD and Mommy got married . . . which is almost a month ago.

I guess Mommy has been busy.

Whatever.

Star Trek (2009)
Directed By: J.J. Abrams
Written By: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

Yes, kitties, it is another one of those blockbuster sorts of movies that my mommy and the FD adore so . . . one that is in some way related to a nerdy interest they have. I, of course, am a professional movie reviewer, so I HAVE to go watch these sorts of things. I mean, it isn't like I practice my Vulcan Nerve Pinch on Ivy or anything . . .

Now you discriminating furries out there may be wondering "Why would I want to go see yet another "Star Trek" movie? Haven't there already been like a hundred of them? What else could they do with it? What would make this one so great?"

I am here to tell you, kitties, that this one is most definitely worth the 127 minutes you will spend sitting watching it.


"Star Trek" successfully pulls off a "what if" plotline by making events in the future change the events of the past for James T. Kirk and Spock. In this version, Kirk loses his father at the moment of his birth, and Spock's entire home planet of Vulcan is destroyed. This changes pretty much everything.

Kirk is even more wreckless than before.
Spock struggles with his human side, and is even more emotional.
Kirk and Spock don't like each other at all, with Spock doing his best to have Kirk kicked out of the Starfleet Academy.

"Star Trek" successfully updates the usual Star Trek storyline, all the while paying homage to the original. Classic lines are interspersed throughout the movie, to the thrill of such moviegoers as my mommy who squealed everytime she heard one, including Scotty's "I'm giving her all she's got, Captain!"






I give this movie two paws up, and a "Live Long and Prosper" (which is pretty tricky for a kitty to do) for being full of action, humor, and managing to be a great tribute to the original Star Trek series. . . and let us not forget Leonard Nimoy!

And for your viewing pleasure, here is the trailer.

Dana's Karaoke and Dance Party Birthday Bash!

There are CUPCAKES and HAM and TEMPTATIONS for the CUTECUTECUTE KITTIES and Loki is DJ again because he is good at that and isn't good at dancing and I should know because he can't do the wigglebuttdance like me and BILLYSWEETFEETS can so it is better if he doesn't even TRY because then he'd be EMBARASSED and probably wouldn't stay for the party and then I'd be HURT!!!!

Ivy's Great Ladder Adventure

PS: Today is Dana's Birthday! Thank you KC for remembering her special day. =^_^= Keep posted for party details.

Mancat Monday - Update

Hello, kitties!

Alas, once again there is no new picture today. Mommy has good intentions I know, but somehow the picture taking just doesn't commence. It's a shame, because I was extra cute this past weekend.

Mommy and the FD had a super long and tiring week last week. The FD started his summer classes (this is his next to last semester for his BBA!) and mommy had work and classes, too. Mommy needs to stop thinking she is superwoman, because taking classes this summer while being pregnant sure is wearing her out. She's halfway done with them this week, though. The FD's classes started after hers, so he still has 6 weeks to go.

Grandmama and the FD started painting our bedroom a nice brown color that the FD really approves of. Apparently he wasn't a fan of the gold color it used to be, although he didn't tell mommy that until they started painting on Saturday. Mommy and I supervised the painting, and for the first time in what seems like a very long time mommy cooked dinner for everyone, so there was a lot of excitement for us furries. It was chicken!!!! I managed to look extra adorable and hungry, and even hopped right up in the middle of the table once.

Now that the FD is with us all the time, Ivy has calmed down quite a bit. All of her lovely furs have grown back, and she has cut down on her outside-of-the-litterbox poo to once a day. The FD REALLY wishes she would cut that down to NEVER. Mommy said to give her time and maybe she'll quit that once and for all once she is assured that the FD isn't going anywhere. Mommy didn't have the heart to tell him that she may start it all up again once the alien blurpy comes home . . . Ivy may need some extra time to adjust to that.

Ivy has been spending a lot of time with her FD, and Holly has been spending some extra time grooming mommy. Apparently mommies with alien blurpies in their tummies need A LOT of grooming. I snuggle with mommy every night, and refuse to budge for her during her frequent potty breaks. A handsome mancat needs his beauty sleep, after all. Dana and Loki are both doing well, except they are losing their coats like crazy. Mommy caught me playing with some of their floof the other day and took it away from me before I swallowed it (even though I was extra cute doing my best bunnykick on it.) Toby is still our little doggie brother, only he's not so little anymore and is making his Forever Home next door with his brother Riku and Grandmama. He got so comfy over there, and is so close to his brother, that mommy and Grandmama decided it was best for him to stay over there. Mommy and the FD still see him every day, and Loki and Dana like to visit with him and Riku through the fence. We kitties see him through the windows, which is FINE with me. Holly and Ivy love doggies, but I'm strictly a mommy-loving kitty.

I think that is all for now . . . I wanted to let everykitty know how we are doing, even if we are picture-less. Mommy is very tired and busy, and has been headachy again the past few days, so I don't really have my secretary back yet, plus I've been busy snuggling on her and catching up on my naps, too.

Purrs to you all, and I hope to have both pictures and the Friday Movie Review back up soon!
(Hint: Star Trek!)

It's Official!

This past Saturday Almost Dad officially became our Forever Dad.

And guess who was there?

The Purrageous Mom!


So far Almost Dad being Forever Dad is working out pretty well. I'm still trying to train him on where his spot in the bed is, and I'm working on getting him to not listen to mommy and give me Temptations even if I've already had them. He's already a pretty good litter box scooper, and he plays well. Ivy is in seventh heaven. This morning when mommy was getting ready for her dayhunting gig, she saw Ivy snuggled up against the new FD purring like mad.

This is my first slideshow, so I hope it turned out well. These are pictures from the big event! Thank you all for your congratulations, love, and support. It means a lot to me and mommy and the FD!

SIGH

Do you remember me? The devastatingly handsome and romantic mancat with lovely floof and sultry blue eyes?

In case you don't, let me refresh your memory.


Those were the days, my friend. Back when my mommy would help me pose and look my handsomest. She said something to me last weekend about doing a photo shoot, but WE NEVER DID! Granted, we did take a few naps together, but still . . . my blogging has been neglected. I've lost all touch with my furry friends, and my poor tuxie princess has been lonely!

Never you fear, Sammie-pie, this dedication is for you.

I can't breath when you're away
It pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

(And I think Billy Sweetfeets may like it, too!)
