As with the great oak, love begins as a fragile sapling; each year gaining strength until neither the winds of Hell nor the wrath of Heaven can uproot it.
Which is a smaltzy way of saying congrats on 6, I wish you 60 more.
Youve been published. You should direct one of your publishers her way (Lily.) I bet her autobiography would be fascinating. Might need the help of a ghost writer to put it into an autobiographical novel form.
Tonight it's carving punkins, passing out candy to little ghouls, and letting whatever marathon of classic horror movies is on cable run in the background while we drink beer and eat chili.
This is my favorite holiday ever, because I get to good off like a little kid, and nobody can stop me.
I spent most of today watching Battlestar Galactica.
I started with the miniseries, watched two regular episodes, and five hours later I only stopped because I needed to go with my wife to the store.
BSG is much much more than just a SciFi show. In fact, it is a complex, challenging, and very satisfying human drama that happens to take place in outerspace.
Indeed, I agree totally. My girlfriend and I started watching it this season and we saw every episode. We looked forward to each one so much.
We missed season 1, so I will be buying it for my girl for Christmas, she will be happy .
My favorite Sci Fi series of all time though is still Babylon 5..but BSG is so so close. The scripts / stories are just amazing. The cast all do an amazing job as well. Can't wait for season 3!
So true-so much money was saved on Friday night bar tabs thanks to Galactica. The poorest sci-fi seems to be worst-case scenario projections (post-apocalyptic crap). The best scifi is a metaphor for a current day problem wrapped in the future. Forbidden Planet's Id Monsters were nuclear weapons. TNG was about morality supporting technology, and the ways we can all benefit. BSG questions the meaning of humanity. Aside from really compelling plots, there are so many layers of myth. . .January can't come soon enough. I gotta get the DVD's.
Wil people generally respond to people through their journal, not their own journal... Just thought I'd tell ya (not in an arrogant way though ) And a lot of us have kiddies, ALOT!!!
Yeah, that's pretty much spot on for Bush. Too bad the quote isn't referring to him.
I've been loving watching the rifts developing in the Bush Cabal lately. The fortress is cracking, and I love it. Unfortunatly, the Dems have (as usual) been too pathetic and unorganized to take advantage of it.
Supposedly Orielly will have a peice on the "left wing spear campain" or some thing like that. I have a hard time believing in conspiracies. The only large groups of people who can pull of complex operations is the military. No one else has the individual discapline.
I stayed up most of the night playing poker, slept for three hours before my dogs woke me up, then tossed and turned for another two hours before I had to drag myself out of bed for an acupuncture appointment.
Good news: the needles did their magic, and my hip, which has killed me for weeks, feels about 83% better.
Hey, I didn't know you were a member here... pretty cool.
Turbonapping is a valuable skill to have. My napping schedule between school and work helped me to bond psychologically to the driver's seat of my old car, so that I was actually more comfortable there than anywhere else. Sadly, my new car is just not as comfortable.
That makes me think of an acupuncture person dressed up like a shifty car mechanic, poking in all the needles to make your hip feel better, but then tossing in one stray needle to give the you a headache so you have to come back in a few weeks later.
