Star Trek: Into Daffitude

I had a really lovely day with WD today. He took me into the sunshine, on necessary errands, to dinner with WG, and to see STID.

... I kind of wish I'd seen it in five minute Youtube chunks. There were so many moments of awesomeness studded into a matrix of nonsensical plot and stupid character decisions, it was like a chocolate chip cookie made of gourmet chips and mud for the batter.

I did entertain WD and WG with my post-movie ranting, though.

Well, according to this it's a Curate's Egg and it means something that's basically rotten but you pretend it's not...

(I have to admit I use it to mean a pile of turd with a few diamonds hidden in it - they're diamonds, but they're not exactly as sparkly or appealing as they should be in their current location, which that article suggests is not quite the correct usage)

(or rather, a chocolate chip cookie with mud for the batter - a much better description!!)

Ditto, as to usage. Many things I have to get the diamonds out of by intense searching are fundamentally rotten, but it's not inherently what I mean by it. Just that I have to do a lot of sifting.
