i will not be the girl...

Hmmmmmmm, weekend.

( iiz goood (say 'is good' with a cliched soviet union style accent) )

Last week before spring break. Two midterms and a first draft of a paper, but then SPRINGGGGGGG BRRRRREEEEAAAAAAKKKKKKK! Going to Roommate Boy's house! I am the last person in our group who has never been there! I am very excited. Also, REDWOODS. So much fun.

I need a recipe for corn bread. Southern friends (that's basically all of you), I'm looking at you.

Sports Night. Then bed. Tickets to baseball soon. ♥

So no one on my flist has talked about this at all, AND IT DESERVES TO BE TALKED ABOUT!

 

Ron Moore and Michael Taylor's next big thing, Virtuality was filmed as a pilot but aired as a TV movie. 

<a href="http://virtuality-tv.info/Episodes/">Here</a> is a synopsis, that I don't really think gives anything away, though I suppose it might. Basically it's a crew that has been on this ship for 6 months and is approaching "Go, No-Go", where they figure out if they continue on their ten year journey to some random other planet, or if they turn back. Thing is: Earth is going to be inhabitable within a century, and there is a reality show documenting the crew's every move. Oh yeah, and they have these virtual reality headset things that are supposed to allow them to relax, except there seems to be a glitch. 

Perhaps this does not sound interesting to you...BUT IT IS! I watched it mostly because my boyfriend's godsister's husband is in it and he told me to. And I was going to do <a href="http://virtuality-tv.info/Renewal/index.html">this thing</a> to help it get picked up as a series even if I didn't like it, BUT IT WAS AWESOME. It's completely NOT a TV movie--the end sets up what could be a fantastic series, and I honestly can't believe no one picked it up. 

It's sort of Battlestar Galactica meets LOST, but with (a little) less angst than BSG and (a lot, so far) more sanity than LOST. But for real, click the link and go watch it on Hulu. It's only available for another two weeks or so. So watch it. And then go <a href="http://virtuality-tv.info/Renewal/index.html">here</a> to see what you can to do to get it to be an actual series. 

So I saw a commercial for this medical supplement. Watch the video, but think instead of our dear Sammy.





I would think you would feel a difference in much less than 7-14 days on Sammy.

Summer is treating me relatively well, except for the fact that no one is hiring. I have no job and basically do nothing all day, which is good, in and of itself, but also gets boring. I have to motivate myself to write, every day. That is what I am going to work on. I want this to be the summer of words, both reading and writing. I think tomorrow I may delete my internets for at least half the day so I get other things done.

I have, however, been successfully motivated to work out. I've only lost 4 pounds, but hey--I lost 4 pounds! So that's exciting. I've taken to walking with my mom at least twice a week. Legit walking I mean, not moseying around or anything. I've been lax on going to the gym lately, but walking is so great, and it's outdoors and everything. Only problem is that sometimes I miss the feeling of working out until I'm exhausted in a good way. So I'll probably continue my gym classes.

Memorial Day Weekend was positively glorious. We had our annual softball game on Sunday, and actually had enough people to field two teams. Normally we just rotate from positions to batting because we don't get enough people. It was really fun though, except I sort of clobbered my Other Father (the guy who's basically a dad to me, even though he's not). I was coming from 2nd to 3rd and realized he was going to have the ball before I got there but also was in the base path. So haha, I'll run him over, it'll be funny. Except we both put our heads down and he ended up with a nasty black eye. I learned my face doesn't bruise very easily, though sometimes I forget we collided and rub my eye or something and it's basically OUCH. Twas quite grand though. After softball we had lazing around and cooking out at my house. I went swimming for the first time. Cold but glorious. Definitely a good thing after being so hot from softball.

Tomorrow I'm going back in to all the places I applied to tell them I'm still interested and they should probably hire me kthxbai. That won't be fun.

I've finished Battlestar. Third season is obviously the best. Also, did anyone else think of Santa Claus when Chief was talking about going north to some place cold and without people? It made me laugh.

I love Starbuck. I love finding new amazing female characters to adore. They always remind me that I have to create my own. I have bits and pieces of a character in me, but I don't know what her story is. I'm thinking of doing a one-sentence meme on my original fiction just to get to know the characters better and figure out what I want to say.

Posted my first BSG fic at bsg_kink and smut_tuesdays. You should check out both comms if you haven't yet. They are wonderful.

I wish I had a frakking paid account so I could have more userpics. I have to figure out which one(s) to drop so I can get at least one for Battlestar. I'm wavering between Starbuck and Roslin, but I think it'll have to be Starbuck. She's my girl.

Tell me about your day, flist.

The thing about watching Battlestar after having friends on LJ who watched it: I do things like yell, "SAMMY!" when I first see Sam Anders on the screen, before I even technically learn his name. So yeah. Thanks for that, Mary. :)

I've been going to the GYM! I'm enjoying spinning class, and even went on my own today, without my mother to force me to go. I'm quite proud of this.

LOST has just gotten frakking insane (note: I will use the words frakking and godsdammit (I used godsdammit before I watched Battlestar), I will NOT use the words/phrases frak or oh my gods. Because those sound ridiculous. Also, realize that I've watched 18 episodes in a period of three or four days, so I'm a little BSG'd out.)

House was awful. Well, it would have been quite good, except that we've had freakin' hallucinations in every season finale for the past three years. I understand that you can't come up with a new formula for each episode--someone will get sick, House will think he solved it, they'll get better, then worse, then House will have a moment (generally with Wilson) where he stares into the distance, and then he'll actually solve it--but you could at least come up with a new formula for the season freakin' finales.

Must go now because Sam Anders is on my screen again.
