Michael called me last night around 11:37 and told me I should rest; get some sleep. He's so thoughtful; putting my needs before his own. I went right to sleep after the call; sleeping from around 11:40pm - 7am. The only thing that could have made the night more perfect: Michael cuddles. Even after sleeping so well I just took a short nap so I can be wide awake and ready for Michael, who should be here around 8pm. I can't wait to see him!

Here's the trailer for the new V:

It looks amusing enough. Yet it doesn't look as good as the original, which I guess isn't that surprising - but I was expecting a bit more from this. The original V miniseries stands up today, extremely well. It's sequel ("The Final Battle") slightly less so, and the TV Series that followed barely stood up when it was airing. But the original had a depth to it and the special effects for the time were outstanding and look good even today, 26 years later. This new incarnation feels very sci-fi / Syfy; very crappy movie of the week - with heavier religious themes this time around, which creeped into 'The Final Battle', and made that one seem pretty silly. The religious themes in this one look like they're handled better, but if the rallying cry of the resistance in this new movie is a religious one, I'll be more than a little disappointed. Hopefully the movie is better than the trailer would make it seem.
