Apparently Paramount announced late last night that JJ Abrams (best known for creating/directing Alias and Lost and recently directing Mission Impossible 3) would direct the next Trek film—which means yes, there will be a Trek XI. I love JJ…love Alias…enjoy Lost…I think I’ll even like MI3 thanks to him. So I am cautiously optimistic about another Trek. Read more about it at Syfy Portal…
I’d mentioned in an earlier post that my Battlestar Galactica costuming/party group, The Colonial Fleet, is forming a new group that’s an all-girl Marine strike team called the “Divine Devils” (a play on the real Marines’ “Devildogs”).

Better late than never, lol! I got a crazy idea for my Mantra Monday card when I started it on Sunday, and it took me a little longer than I’d expected to make the word “joy” out of clay, bake it, then paint it, add glitter, attach to the card…yeah. But I like the end…
