Our goldfish in their natural habitat, small and all as it is. They're happy though, I think.

Star Trek - Good Actually
I usually switch over when the tv series is on so it was with the force of twisted arm by my girlfriend that I took myself along to see the new Star Trek. Directed by JJ Abrams whose early work on Lost I admired. That series dragged badly, however, and so I wasn't entirely overwhelmed to be heading along. As it transpired he done a more than adequate job, working with a tight script and well shot action sequences it was a very enjoyable two hours at the cinema. The acting was impressive for the most part, except for Simon Pegg, who for once was a weak link. Zachary Quinto who played the part of Spock was top dog in the acting stakes.

Man Utd - Champions Again
It is to Sir Alex Ferguson's immense credit that post winning the clubs 18th league title, and in the process drawing level with Liverpool, his immediate thoughts were of a 19th and record breaking league title. It is this drive that is a measure of a man who never stops short of excellence, a trait that inevitably soaks in to the psyche of his players.
This wasn't a vintage year for the premiership but none the less the demands were as great as ever. With this in mind Ferguson has assembled a squad of such depth and talent that challenges, when presented, can be overcome more easily.
Given that is was far from a vintage year, one characterised by sheer doggedness and determination more than outstanding skill and verve, it's perhaps not surprising that some of the clubs less heralded players were to the fore. O Shea and Fletcher had probably their best seasons in a Utd shirt.
This is a superb squad that Ferguson has assembled and their won't be too many surprised if they go on to dominate for a few seasons to come.
