born a trekkie, always a trekkie.

I went with Natalie on Sunday night to see Star Trek (I've been going crazy waiting for this one to come out). Of course we had to watch it in Italian, after we were both surprised to have understood the whole film (space talk and technical language in Italian? we're just that smart..) - lasciamo perdere that Natalie is just a language genius, though. Moving on... I grew up watching Star Trek with my parents (the Next Generation + Deep Space Nine, what?! They were the ones on TV at the time...) My family is a bunch of engineers that are obsessed with sci fi and technology and space and generally anything nerdy - so we were, are, a huge trekkie family. Which is nice. MOVING ON... this film was NOT Star Trek. But I loved it. It is Star Trek the modern version, and I don't care if trekkies all over the internet are getting their panties in a knot about this one. Not only are the dudes gorgeous and dream about them naked, it's just beautiful to watch. Okay, once again, I understand it is NOT Star Trek, but nobody can take away my sexual fantasies of Captain Kirk and Spok and me. Wait.. Where was I going with this?
