Alien Tea Shoppe

Had a free trial of Prime recently.  I actually detest Prime.  For one, there's never really anything on there (though now I'm sad to know that Supernatural is on there, but I still won't be keeping Prime), but also that my telly, which is fairly new (three years?) is a Fire TV, so is Prime, but won't actually play Prime or Freevee (or whichever is the free app that says it's now on Prime to watch for free).   Anyway, not really the point.  The point is that on our telly in the den, it'll play just fine & I saw that they had Sinners, so waited for my sister to get home from house sitting so we could watch it together. I was... not impressed.   I think that it was because it was hyped up so much, so without that it might have been a pretty OK film, but with the hype it fell flat? Besides just general hype, I was sorta led to believe that The Choctaw Vampire Hunters would have a much larger presence in the film.

Channeling my inner Judy Bernly? So.... I got new glasses yesterday.  No big deal; they're glasses.  It was the same price to put new lenses in my old frames as it was to just purchase new frames.  So, why not go with something different.  I had a difficult time finding a pair I wanted.  The glasses salesman then said, "You can use sunglasses frames if you want."  A whole new world of possibilities had just opened up.  It took me only one minute to say, "These!"  Incidentally, I do really LOVE these glasses.  Love, LOVE them!   But curiously, adults do not.  When I went to pick them up & have them fitted, no one in the store liked them.  They were in horror to find out the prescription sunglasses that had to be ordered were going to be the exact... same... pair.  My parents didn't even like them.  My dad was confused that they were even real glasses.  Did he think they were wielding goggles?  Af...

It has been decided that my phonetical examples for the Hallo, Hallo ich sprechen Deutsches? post were a bit confusing.  But I can't be sussed at the moment to go back & fix it.  My apologies, but time marches forward. Today I saw Star Trek Into Darkness .  I'm an open minded film watcher.  As with anything that is different from the original, I do notice it, but I say, "Sure, I can get on board with this!" and enjoy the film anyways.  If you are a Trekkie, who hasn't seen this film yet, just go ahead & skip to the illustrations section of this post.  Otherwise, here's what I have to spoil say. While I don't mind that Spock & Uhura are an item in the two new films; it makes me feel even worse for Nurse Chapel in the original series.  She loved Spock so, so much, but he just couldn't love her back, as seen in the epi Amok Time.  :(  Poor Nurse Chapel.  Glad she was verbally mentioned in this film though, considering that...
