A Fascination With Extreme Situations

In less than one week I have watched every single episode of the new Battlestar Galactica. Now I can catch up on sleep, and go back to living my life. I still have bonus materials to get through, as well as the podcasts from the official site, but the sense of urgency has lessened. Speaking of which, I could have paced myself a bit more, because, man, I’ve got one heck of a wait before season three begins…in October.

Speaking of living life…the last couple of days the weather has been warmer so I’ve taken the little man to not one, but two of our favorite outdoor playgrounds. All winter we were cooped up and relied heavily on the indoor variety, but those are pay-to-play, and filled with germs. It was good to get outside again. But I’d forgotten about the insidiousness of sand. When we got home the other night the little man plopped down in my favorite chair and inadvertently emptied his pant cuffs into it. I guess that’s the price you have to pay to play outside, for free.

Bonus: I’m thinking about making some sort of duct tape dress for the Geek Prom, but it would have to be very simple and it will be time-consuming, so I’ll have to get started asap.
Plus: I missed Mates of State last night (again) but Chuck went to the show for me. Wasn’t that thoughtful of him? And Metric is playing Monday night, but I’ll probably miss that too. All the good shows have been on schoolnights lately. Sigh.
