Interactions with the neurotypical neighbor kids have been improving. The little man is putting himself out there more. And I’m hovering less (but still watching anxiously from afar). And it seems to be going well. But I worry they’re just using him for his light sabers.
Sunday night I made it to the TV on the Radio show at First Ave. Still need to catch up on some of the lost sleep, but it was well worth it. I neglected to take any photos (we were crammed onto the main floor like sardines) but it looks and sounds like the Chicago show was quite similar (and similarly awesome).
Rumors abound about my beloved Battlestar Galactica making a move to NBC. So far these allegations are unsubstantiated, but I have mixed feelings about the possibility. Yes, it would mean a wider audience, and I’d be able to see it more easily (our household is without cable) but the likelihood of the show jumping the shark increases tenfold.
Bonus: I wish I’d been in The Daily Show’s ticket line when Terry Gilliam was visiting (via Neil Gaiman, natch).
Plus: So far I’ve missed all of the Heroic Grace series at The Walker, but this weekend it’s going to be all about The Legendary Weapons of China. Honest.
And: Odd quote of the day…earlier I found myself exclaiming “but I don’t want zombie underwear!” Though I could go for some happy octopus action. Seriously.

Lets hope Galactica doesn’t make that leap. I’m even less optimistic than you are; if it moves it wil definitely jump the shark. Besides what’s the deal with the sci-fi channel? Is it just the bush leagues for future NBC shows? Aside from Galactica, Doctor Who and (maybe) The Amazing Screw On Head, it seems to be the 24 hour bimbo b-movie channel. Wouldn’t it be nice if was actually a decent science fiction channel with news shows and such? There are certainly enough of us nerds out there.
Well put, Joe.
Sigh.
