What is On Jeffs' Mind

Today Dave and I went to a Toy Show called the Pop Culture Fair. It is part toy show and part other things such as records. I guess fortunate for me (depending on how you look at it) I left without buying anything. There were a few things that I was really close on buying, but decided to hold back on. Dave picked up a nice Obi-Wan 12 inch figure and a communicator and phaser. Dave’s friend Tim came as well, but just like me was just looking. Bumped into my friend Dale at the show, he told me that the next series of Star Wars Kubricks will be coming soon, so looking forward to that. Talked a bit of Terminator and collecting, nice chat. Saw a few others I knew as well. I thought the show was average, as I even saw a lady selling dishes, and not even collectors dishes, just dishes that you would eat your dinner on. To me that pushes this show to almost a flea market level. All in all it was a good way to spend the morning, just unfortunately an average show.

After Tao tao and I went to the mall as she was looking for jobs, nothing much there. I grabbed some more Pop Shoppe pop at Zellers and then we headed over to Walmart to get a job application. After that we had some Ice Cream and then headed home. I cleaned up the back yard for a bit. It did not look to weedy, but I did manage to get a garbage bag full. At times it feels like a never ending war against weeds in the yard. I sprayed them down as well with weed killer, and will do that for the next few days, in hopes of killing them.

Reflecting, I sure lead an interesting life by judging my Sunday . Since I am on call this week, it limits what I can do. I wanted to see Wolverine, but was worried I would get called, so I will go later to see that.

Not much overly interesting lately to talk about. So this post will be a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.

 I am really getting excited for the new Star Trek movie coming out soon. I even took the Friday off so that I can go see it. I would like to go see it at the first showing, but not sure when that is, possibly Thursday evening, so I will see. If not, then I am set for the Friday to go during the day. Lately I have been trying to avoid finding out to much information about the movie, so I have not been looking at any posts or sites that talk to much in detail about the movie. I want my first time watching to be as unspoiled as possible.

I got a few cool things in the mail this week. I got my Treks in Sci-Fi  T-Shirt from Rico. This time it is grey, and has some important Trek dates on the back of the shirt. Looks cool and already wore it once. The next day I got in some LOST Kubricks that I had won in an eBay auction a few weeks earlier. They are pretty cool, in the series: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Sayid, Charlie and Hurley. I think I like Locke, Sawyer and Charlie the most out of these, but all are very cool.  I do hope that they continue on with these, as I think they have so much more to do with them. I guess I will have to wait and see. Below is a pic of the Sawyer Kubrick.

The weekend was pretty quiet. I had originally planned on going to Calgary for a Comic Show, but decided that there wasn’t much I really wanted so decided to stay home. Tao tao and I did some cleaning around the house, and rearranged our Kitchen. In the evenings I watched some DVD’s, I felt a bit like a kid in that I watched some Battle of the Planet and had some Pop Shoppe Pop . It reminded me of when I was a kid, I really liked that Pop, and it pretty much tastes the same as it did when I was younger, The Battle of the Planets just set the mood .

Tao tao is finished her school now, and she is going to start looking for work. Hopefully she can find something quick, as she would like to save some money to go back to China this summer. This afternoon we went over to the mall, and she picked up some applications from a few places. At least stores had Job Applications out, so that is promising.

Looking forward to a new LOST and Fringe this week on TV, they are getting close to the season end for both series. Heroes season finale is on Monday, and hoping that it is good, last weeks episode was not bad, so hoping this one is as well. I am sort of hoping they leave Heroes with a cliff hanger, so it gives me something to think about over the summer. Presently I am reading Darth Bane: The Rule of Two, is seems pretty decent so far. I am trying to read more, as I am hoping at some point I can read two books a month, as there are so many Star Wars and Star Trek books I want to read.
