Battlestar Ends in Season Four!

WHAT!? Damn it!

Battlestar Ends in Season Four

I suppose I knew it would happen, but damnit! So soon? I love how the article’s title says that SciFi grounded Battlestar… The BSG producers decided to end the show. I can respect that. They wanted to tell the story, and I guess they will have done that at the end of season four. I’m just sad to see them go. It’s easily one of the best shows on tv right now, and there’s not much to fill the void. :( I’m gonna go be sad now…

Heidi’s on a Trip, and I’m Bug Hunting

by Slack, on June 1st, 2007

Heidi’s in Phoenix right now taking Rhys to the eye doctor… Yeah, we have to go to Phoenix to find a doctor who is both (1) worth a damn, and (2) covered in our health plan… As a bonus, she gets to go to a concert, and get a massage while she’s up there. Yay for grandparents (thanks guys, she really REALLY REALLY needs a break — even though she won’t say so)!

For me, this means I got some time on my hands to get some stuff done. I decided this time to use my time for productive things — instead of getting very drunk and very hungover. I’m going to buckle down into .NET crap and see if I can find my “click moment”.

I gotta go bug hunting too… Not software bugs, but the genuine creepy crawly kind of bugs. Seems we have a spider problem again… The last time, I inspected our 8 legged intruders and found they were black widows… Great. They nested underneath Rhys’ play picnic table. Yeah, good times. YAY for the desert. I think this time I will actually venture into my attic to see what’s up there. Honestly, I’ve put it off for so long, I have visions of that scene in Aliens when they realize all of Ripley’s Bad Guys were in the ceiling. Maybe I’ll set up a cam to record the hilarity that I’m sure will ensue…
