Star Trek

It was loud, and fast, and yet even while watching it I could tell that it didn't make a lot of sense. Afterwords, it makes less sense. The characters were pretty good, but the stuff they did, and especially the stuff they said, was kind of dumb. The alternate universe device was well-applied. Old Spock did alright but pronounced a couple of the stupider plot points. Supernovas destroying galaxies? Black holes sucking up supernovas like vacuum cleaners?

Recommend: I understand why it had to be done. Maybe the next one will have a little bit of "science fiction" worked into it, and a scene or two of characters talking about something other than their feelings. Recommend.

Coffee : Southern Comfort Blend

This was our first of 16 speciality coffees in a coffee sampler pack.  It sounds like a winner, right?  It's in a bright red bag and has the Southern Comfort quality logo!  The package says it's the perfect coffee to add some Southern Comfort.

Well, let me tell you this, folks:  Southern Comfort smells like cat piss, has the sour aftertaste of generic Fruity Pebbles, and just when you think you have forgotten the horrible experience, an hour later when you having your mid-morning tinkle, the generous Southern Comfort aroma comes back to slap you in the face!

Recommend?  No.  Not for friends, not for enemies.  I recommend this to NO ONE.
