how many months of waiting?

April 2008? They have got to be joking. I fear they're not. But still.

I guess that means I'll have plenty of time to rewatch the series several times for prime watching preparedness come April. But c'mon people. That is just absolutely ridiculous.

The good life

The past year has been good to me. Marriage, another academic degree, and I'm pretty happy, to boot. Not bad.

And it helps that my husband and friends are FABULOUS. Seriously.

That is all for the time being...

it's a good day

There are some days that just go well. And today was one of those days.

Besides getting into the area that I know best in the class I am teaching, I also watched a film for later this week that I absolutely adore. I don't watch it very often because it always makes me cry, but OMG is it good. I can't wait to see what my students make of it.

AND... I got a cool present from mah husband. I'm very happy. He is so sweet. :-)

workaholism vs BSG

It's fantastic when my sister and I are both (somewhat obsessively) watching the same shows. Around the same time. And then we can gush about them.

Because yeah. We both love Battlestar Galactica. Who wouldn't?

Unfortunately however I've turned back into a workaholic who has no fun because I have a paper due soon. Not nearly as much fun as watching Starbuck kick ass.

Commuter Nightmare

Chile's Commuter Nightmare Deepens with New System. I was in shock to hear "Transantiaaaaago" come out of my radio this afternoon. Interesting piece. Will comment more later.

Emotion of the week

Wow so the week went by quickly. I spent a lot of it, ahem, watching a certain excellent sci-fi series on DVD. And I did finally get around to Grey's. But only because I don't have more BSG DVDs for the time being.

Frustration is the emotion of the week, for many reasons. The most recent one - my router hates me. or hates my ISP, or my computer, or a combination of all 3. Now, sitting on my bed to watch DVDs is OK with me, but typing papers (which is something that will really get into swing this coming week) without being able to use proper posture is not something I'm looking forward to. So yeah. Why do some things just make life so much more complicated?

Evidently I love television

So I didn't mean to go so long without writing anything. Sorry there about that.

That said, I don't have a great deal to say. Immigration progresses, my weekly routine (odd though it is) is what it is, and I'm looking forward to the holidays.

I dedicate a good part of my time to being lazy, mostly in the form of watching television shows. While I don't include "The War" ad my lazy television watching, I definitely include my obsession with That 70's Show, and my newfound love for Battlestar Galactica. I watched the first season of BSG in 24 hours. Yes, I know. I could be doing other work. But I don't have to.

And much to a friend's chagrin, I haven't started watching Grey's Anatomy, despite her desire to get me caught up in time to watch it on Thursday. I admit, I would rather watch more Battlestar Galactica, or That 70's Show, or even read some books I have than start watching Grey's. But I'll watch it, if only to be more in the loop with what my friends are watching.

Wow, this year is much more relaxed.
