Latest Dive Into the Past

Old sci-fi films that I never watched for $100, Alex.

The ship design is familiar, and one that I’ve always liked.  Even though I grew up during the time of the Starship Enterprise, the Alphan Eagles, and the Millennium Falcon, the sleek, simple shape of a rocketship is what classic science fiction is all about.

Sadly, I couldn’t find this movie streaming on the usual sites, so I went looking for a disc version.  I managed to find a copy on ebay, at a reasonable price, and should have it in a week or so.

I found this on Amazon as well:

It’s my next project, as soon as it comes in.

5th Doctor

Annual check up/physical time!

So my regular doctor, who I’d been seeing for a few years, is out on leave, so I had to see another doctor, the 5th in a series of doctors who I’ve seen now, at the same location.

Anyways, my blood pressure came back fine, my left elbow pain was diagnosed as tendinitis, and she challenged me to get my 10,000 steps in (she saw that I was wearing my FitBit) and to spend at least 3 days a week working on cardio for 1/2 an hour, like on my elliptical.

We also talked about my getting a colonoscopy, which I’ll need to call in for soonish.

They opened up a separate office of lab work, which I went to for blood work after my visit, and I was in and out in a couple of minutes.

I was a hungry afterwards, more than usual, so I ended up with 2 bagels (one pretzel, one sourdough) and juice from Noah’s Bagels.
