ebonlockThe one nice thing about incredibly busy weekends is that Mondays often seem like a kind of a break. I mean all I have to do today is sit at my desk for 8 hours. Sitting is nice. I can do sitting.
Friday night there was much videoing and precious little else, yes I *gasp* watched t.v. without crafting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tersa and aelfsciene, go figure.
BSG, damn but this show just keeps getting better and better by the episode. I love the new bitch from hell Mrs. Tigh and I pray to the gods the writers don't reveal her as a cylon agent. I'd like to think that she's just a really shitty excuse for a human being, a complete lush, a nympho and a compulsive liar. It just makes her a helluva lot more interesting to me. And a big thumb's up to EJO for directing a fun and wickedly funny ep, Gaius continues to delight me as a thoroughly depraved, wicked, and unrepentantly self absorbed man. His relationship with Six is just wonderful and the opening scene where Starbuck walks in to find him...uh...with his trousers down (and Six bent over his workstation) nearly did me in. Oh and the dinner scene with Ellen playing footsie with a horrified but trying desperately to act normal Apollo, Adama biting down the bile he'd like nothing better than to spew all over Ellen, and the president managing the most strained smile in history cracked me up entirely. I look forward to all the trouble Ellen is going to inflict on our already screwed characters. Lots and lots I hope.
Now a minor rant regarding SG-1. Why did the show have to be such crap last season and so bloody good this one? They seem, finally, to have gotten back to the tried and true formulas and it's about damn time. However, I realize that I'm a black widow when it comes to my favorite fictional characters, I accept that, I do; but honestly to kill my favorite one twice seems a bit excessive. C'mon, he just came back from the dead last season, surely you don't mean to end him again already? That is so totally fucking unfair! I had to watch him die all heroically once, and now they've put me through it again.
Although it was kinda funny when I realized that Sam's plan would, if it worked properly, doom Daniel while saving everybody else. That wasn't quite enough for the writers, though, they had to have him stabbed as well. If he goes Ascended again I'm going to be pissed. One season of him playing bloody fucking Tinkerbell is more than enough, thanks.
Gah.
Anyway, I have a new car! It's a pretty little thing, without so many bells and whistles as the Bug, but with a warranty that kicks such booty it's not even funny. I keep looking at the full warranty end date of 2012 and just grinning. I'd much rather have full coverage for 7 years than electric windows, thanks. And I now have a CD player plus a real honest to gods backseat capable of easily accommodating 3 passengers. And my trunk is obscene, I could easily fit a body or two in there, though it has an emergency release so they could conceivably escape.
I need to get the insurance coverage taken care of, hopefully today, and the Bug gets inspected today so if I can get everything wrapped up by this weekend I'm going to be very happy indeed.
Lessee, class went on and on Saturday and Hinko is looking better each time we do it. It's still not quite there, but it's getting closer, much closer. This week's rehearsals may just do the trick. It's also nice to see that the correct combination of exercise and diet is finally taking the weight off. It's not a huge visual change, but I can definitely feel the difference, and that's the important thing. My clothes are definitely fitting better and I'm more energetic than I've been in a while.
Saw "Constantine" and it really wasn't that bad. Tilda Swinton was gorgeous and oh how I covet her costume from the end of the film.
Was caught up on "Enterprise" bytersa, and am really sad that the show is going away once it started getting good. Typical.
Finally got to seeeilonwey's new place, which is gorgeous and so spacious it made me want to cry. By the time I got back to my place I felt like I was living in a cave by comparison. Although, at least now that I've tidied up a bit, it's a clean cave so I suppose that's something.
Ran all my necessary errands, cleaned my house, did two loads of laundry, and still had time to veg withcyranocyrano. It's so nice to have friends out here who will just come over to hang out without expecting to be particularly entertained. It's also nice to have witty friends who'll come over, watch a crappy show or two and snark with you about it. It was a delightfully relaxing way to end a hectic weekend.

All you really need to know is whether or not Michael Shanks has renewed his contract for next season. *g* And I'll be sure to tell you if he says anything about it at Vulkon, because you KNOW some Daniel-fanatic is gonna ask.
They'd damned well better ask, although much should be clearer after this week's ep.
