bookgazing | The Weekend is Over

This weekend I:

Saw Startrek (very, very awesome and I actually let a blockbuster coax a lump into my throat at the beginning – Spock, Kirk born in crisis, Scotty kept from putting too much strain on the audiences belief in his accent, no pointless let’s blow them up for the sake of it battles)

Went out for dinner and drinks at Pizza Express

Saw Fighting (which was not the regulation boy makes good film I was hoping for but instead featured a fight on a marble floor with chilling skull meets marble sound effects and a weird-as performance from Terence Howard)

Had a drive to the countryside to look for somewhere to eat but ended up back at a restaurant nearer to home

Saw our speedway team beat Belle Vue eventually (as a bike crashed into the inflatable fence and it took a while to reinflate) but also saw our second rider lose his undefeated at home title

Watched a very interesting segment on ‘Bring Back Star Trek’ about the show as an advancer of diversity, then got fed up with Justin Lee Collins

How did you use the Bank Holiday weekend and how gutted are you that the next one isn’t until August?
