I'd go back to the early '90s, and warn myself not to sign with that crooked agent! I'd also like to visit around '77 so I could see the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and all the other great punk bands live, the 1700s to meet Jefferson, lastly, it'd be fu…

- About Me:
- Greetings, Gentlebeings,
What can I say? I was born in 1966--the same year that TOS premiered--so it was innevitable that I'd be a trekkie! TOS will always be a classic, but I'm especially drawn to DS9 because it, like me, is considered the weird kid of the family! I'm here because I'm desperate for any contact with other Trek fans, or fans of SF in general. I also hope to maybe meet a nice Orion Slave Girl or Borg Babe. BTW: I'm a vent-dependent quadraplegic with SMA. No big deal.
I've added the cover to my latest book, Suka: A Paul Murdock Novel. All are available at authorhouse.com

Terminator...Salvation?
Supposedly, Christian Bale initially turned down the role of John Connor in Terminator: Salvation, then said, "Write a story that could be performed on stage with no special effects, and I'll do it."
It must've been the money.
Talk about a disappointment! I've wanted to see that post-nuke future since T1 came out in '84, but instead of guerilla warfare in the bombed-out ruins of nighttime LA, we get car chases in the desert that were done--and done better--30 years ago in Mad Max. Here's the s… Continue

Lucky Hat Story
Interesting story behind the hat I'm wearing in my new avatar.
Back in '97, I was at a con where the GoH was Jeremy Bulloch, the British actor best known for playing Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. He and I were talking in the lobby one day when Mom asked if she could take a pic. "Sure!" Jeremy said, then gave me a dirty look and added, "Even if you are wearing that damn Babylon 5 hat." Just as Mom snaps the Polaroid, Jeremy flips up the bill of my cap so that I loo… Continue

TREK XI: THE VERDICT
Most of the TOS cast are either elderly or dead, and the folks from TNG are getting pretty long in the tooth, as well. Neither VOY or ENT generated the ratings to warrant a big budget movie, and although DS9 had--IMHO--some of the best writing in the franchise, Paramount seems to treat it like the bastard child that nobody talks about.
So what's left to do? You rewrite history!
The idea of one event having the power to change history has been a troupe of science fiction, including Trek, for de… Continue

I'll be hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
Let me warn all of you in advance: my review--which I hope to post tomorrow--will contain spoilers. There's no way I can talk about a movie without...well, talking about it! So if you don't make it to the theatre tomorrow, just skip my blog until you do. I've been avoiding reviews all week!

Wolverine: This Explains The Attitude
Even though Wolverine has always been my favorite X-Man, going back to the comics, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to carry a movie on his own. His interaction/head-butting with Charles Xavier and Cyclops were the most interesting character moments of the first 3 X-Men movies. This latest addition to the franchise puts those doubts to rest.

- Hiya Mike!
I am recovering well from surgery. Thanks. I wanted a new foot for my birthday (1/22), so I had surgery on 1/18 to fix a bunion (I have 3 adorable little screws in my big toe bones now). I had a great surgeon and my foot's doing really well. Unfortunately, I don't know when I will receive my next shipment of dilithium crystals, so I am adrift at the moment. I am recovering from a sinus infection that I got a few days after surgery. I start back to work on Monday, but I am still feeling pretty tired. Being off gave me the opp to watch lots of Trek. I have gotten through season's 1-4 of DS9 so far.
I have been hanging out at TrekSpace working on my TrekValentine's card tonight.
How ya been??????

- Hi Mike,
I've got you beat! My last laptop, Wedge, was nearly 8 when it died. A senior citizen! It lived a good life. My new pet, Cupcake, is just two weeks old.
Oh, pleeeeeze! Stop the whining! It's -4 degrees F here! It hurts. But I hope that your nurse can get in.

Garry said… - Thanks for the new decade wishes Mike, now if I only had a hover board. I haven't written in far too long, my current excuse is that I was too busy with finals and now that I'm trying to start my career I don't have time. In reallity I'm just being lazy and need to dedicate some time to writting.

actually theres no painting involved, all the texturing is on the model templates when youn print them
Nice work. I wish I had the skills, and physical ability, to do such detail paint work. It looks like I need to take a second look at paper models. Time to do a internet search for step by step instructions and photos of paper modeling. Plus I think…
had a Trek dream the other night that someone was sending Picard funny text messages, but when asked, no one wanted to speak up and tell who had been sending them
