maanantai

In honor of the town of Kaleva, Michigan, from which my parents will officially be moving this spring, we'll be learning the days of the week in Finnish.

I ended up not reading as many books as I was hoping to this holiday season and neither did I visit the library as much. I have a few books to pick up now that have been waiting several days and I only have a couple to drop off. I finished the most recent Amelia Peabody mystery as well as reading the first one in the series which I had never read before. It was great to see how Peabody and Emerson first met and had their first adventure together. Right now I'm reading another Elizabeth Peters mystery which isn't nearly as good and is downright disappointing. I'm nearly done and can't wait to be.

Have you heard about the new Star Trek movie that's coming out in May? It's got an all-new cast along with Leonard Nimoy as Old Spock. I'm really looking forward to that. All the promo photos have everyone looking all mean and sexy, especially the Romulan villain, played by Eric Bana. I've been recording and watching all the Star Trek re-runs on right now. I never really watched Enterprise so all those episodes are new for me. I like it okay but not as much as TNG and Voyager.
