No point in categorizing this.  Nothing I write will be coherent anyway.

Had a sort-of important meeting yesterday morning, relatively early.  It was cold and rainy.  I got lost on the way and was late.  On the way home I called home and told Jennifer that, even though I had said I was feeling under the weather, I was ready to do a bunch of work once I got to the house.

After I arrived at the house, I took off my coat and tie and went to bed.  I though about getting up at noon, and at 1:30 pm.  I got ups around 2:45 pm.  And that was only because I knew the children would be coming home.  Calvin has a concert tonight that I will miss.  Actually, I would have gone to a men’s retreat but I will miss that.

I hate being sick.

Almost caught up with BSG.  I’ve already mentioned how incredibly Gene-Wolfish it is.  Totally different scenario and yet with almost identical aspects (paganism, demon-enemy-human-wannabes, questions about the one God, politics and questions of constitutional legality).  Quite amazing.

What if Josh Whedon could have afforded to work for much less and had piloted Firefly on the SciFi network?  We would be in season four this year, right?

I love Lost but hungrier actors seem to be more faithful to a successful program.  I hate watching the planned story-arc shudder under the weight of fickle stars.  Of course, I’m not really blaming the people making the decisions.  They are making their way as seems best to them.  I can hardly expect them to hurt themselves because I want my TV show to work.

Who would have ever thought that the guy playing the Cuban-American police chief was capable of such greatness?

Spoiler: So, did the abused blond Cylon simply want suicide?  Or was she intentionally sending a flare to the Cylons?

Spoiler: Casey can’t be Starbuck’s baby can she?  Boomer-2 was impregnated first and her child is still an infant.  So they either sped up the process or else she is simply a human child who has been taken.  Or, worst of all, she’s a tiny cylon model.

Spoiler: I can sympathize with the cylons all–except for the brother model.  The seem evil without any hint of anything better.

I’m not liking Season 3 as much in some way…  Because there is not as much ship/military life being portrayed.  One of the lessons of the popularity of 1 and 2 is that we are fascinated with space opera and military society.  BSG is popular for much the same reason that Halo is such a popular video game.

Spoiler: Is there an explanation for the Balthar relationship with the illusionary Cylon and the corresponding Cylon’s illusionary Balthar?  The only thing I can imagine is that Balthar was a Cylon all along.  But that would mean that there is no human-cylon relationship really involved.

It is incredibly frustrating to be sick and look at one’s to do list.  Sickness was not on the schedule for this week.

I’d love to say that I dwell on trivialities while sick, but every reader of this blog knows that trivialities are dwelt upon while healthy as well…
