I hate this. It’s almost 1AM, and I cannot sleep. If I didn’t have a class tomorrow, it would be a big deal, but I have to train nine people tomorrow, which just isn’t fun to do on what will end up being roughly four hours of sleep. If I’m lucky.
I tried reading, but I [...]

60 Minutes v. Dateline
Posted in tv on May 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I recorded and watched both shows this evening to see which one was better. I had my suspicions, which were confirmed hundred-fold.
60 Minutes had stories on Innocence Project of Texas, the search for the truth of Pat Tillman’s death, and Partners in Health in Haiti. Then Andy Rooney gave a short tribute to Mike Wallace, who turns [...]
Ain’t ain’t a word

I posted last night about my effort to listen to my entire iTunes library in alpha order, but it disappeared. Weird. Anyway, I mentioned how long the “after” portion of the list was lasting. Now I’m in the “ain’t” section, and it is also lasting forever. Also, I have a lot of duplicates that I [...]
BSG: the countdown continues
Posted in Battlestar Galactica, tv on March 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My neurotic fear of being spoiled for the upcoming season is getting out of hand. Today my coworker asked me “So, what did you think about Obama…”, but I heard, “So, what did you think about Adama…”, and I panicked. I did the whole fingers in my ears, “LALALALALALANONONONONOAHHHHHHHSTOPTALKINGIDON’TWANTTOKNOW” thing, and she looked at me [...]
Season 4 coming soon!

In honor of the countdown to season four of Battlestar Galactica(less than a week away!), I have changed my header. I’m so ridiculously excited about a new episode, I can barely contain myself.
I’ve convinced Lori and Paul to give the show a shot, and I’m strangely nervous about it. I love it so much, and [...]
The Woman King

When I first watched this episode of BSG, I thought it sucked. I hoped that it would improve on rewatch, as sometimes happens. For instance, when I rewatched the seventh season of BtVS, it was much better than I remembered. On the other hand, rewatching the Buffy season six episode “Wrecked” reminded me how truly [...]
BSG rewatch- The miniseries
Posted in Battlestar Galactica, tv on March 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
What does one do when one has the day off and has just purchased the third season of Battlestar Galactica? One watches the first season, of course. Yeah. I know. I was getting all settled in to watch the first couple episodes of season three before going out for drinks, when I decided I should [...]
Mission accomplished!

And not in the dubya way, either. I won’t be wandering around five years from now in search of season three of BSG. I own it now. It wasn’t easy, though. Why do I always have such a hard time finding BSG DVDs?
I was out bright and early this morning, certain I would find them at [...]

AI Performances, the ’80s- Guys
Posted in American Idol, NaBloPoMo, lists, tv on March 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m going to count this as a list. I’m listing the people who sang, right?
Luke Menard- “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go”… I wish he would have chosen “Footloose”, on account of his Kenny Loggins voice. Or maybe that one song from that stupid Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling. Or ”Danger Zone.” Or, if [...]
