Norfair: Oh ya, BSG is great. The other day, I was trying to tell this person I know in AC: CF from England about BSG and how great it is (not sure if she believed me or not).
BSG is Sci-Fi yet not Sci-Fi. Its actually more of a DRAMA than a science fiction show. Just an amazing show really.
Oh and I totally agree about the piano scene. Great stuff.
This weeks episode was excellent too. It absolutely feels like everything is coming to a head. I actually love how shows are setting an end date now (BSG & Lost). It just makes things so much more intense.
(though I will admit that I'm going to miss both shows quite a bit)
Dejibo: Yes, I am very glad we're finally getting answers. I also think Lost is really great right now. Have you seen the Locke episode? Wow, that was great! And this weeks was excellent too. The Lost writers are just going all out!
Kikaro: Sorry to hear that. Hope Bryce feels better. Good luck on the house too!
And BSG was great.
OH man...two more episodes left (three for you Kikaro) ?! Whew.
I'm very excited about the end of BSG, but I'm also going to miss the show a lot.
I hope Caprica is good...

Damn, Kik. I hope everything goes well with him. :/ On the subject of BSG, I heard the TV series is not going to be the finale. There is a movie (probably made for TV) that will finish the series off after the last episode. I think its still in production though. www.imdb.com/title/tt1286130/

There is a movie (probably made for TV) that will finish the series off after the last episode. I think its still in production though. www.imdb.com/title/tt1286130/Actually, the movie your talking about is a prequel staring most of the cast. I think its mostly about the Cylons before BSG started. Though, it might have some stuff doing the series too. Not sure. The TV series will be the finale though. They are doing a 2-hour finale. Actually, its a three hour finale. Part 1 is next week and Part 2, 2-hour, is on March the 20th (in US). The Sci-fi Channel is going to show Part 1 and 2 (2hour) on the 20th. Plus, Battlestar Galactica: The Last Frakkin' Special before the three hour finale! I have a feeling (or maybe its a hope or both) that the finale is going to be amazing. Back to the subject of the thread, today is my lazy day. I should studying right now, but I'm going to leave that till before I go to bed tonight. I'm so lazy. lol. Oh and we decided to go see Watchmen tomorrow. They have a showing at 12:30. The Monday showing doesn't start till 4:00. ugh. So Sunday seems like it'll be the best day. Hope its not too busy. Can't wait to see that movie! DF2506 " We plan to watch some tv shows we taped sometime tonight. We'll prob watch Heroes, maybe Terminator, Dollhouse, not sure what else."

Wow, well three hours is pretty much the length of a movie. Prequels are cool too.

I started watching Lost too, Sci Fi started showing season 1 and it's pretty good. There are some eps I don't care for but that's normal I guess. I try not to miss it when I can, but it comes on at 1am. >.>

THE SUN IS OUT! its amazing! Did you all change your clocks? Spring ahead! I hate the way they run TV. I had some shows that I love, and zip! they take them off mid season. no answers, no chance to wrap it up, just gone! Like Eli Stone, or Pushing Daisys, or Joan of Arcadia, just gone! I was worried they would do that to lost. I am happy its the last season, as I feel they have dragged us through those back woods to finally get some decent answers about what the hell is going on! The house is almost stage ready, and that means I can start relaxing and enjoying the place again, instead of running around moving, sorting, and clearing. Time change day is always tough on me. I hate shifting gears. I get into this rthym, and dont want to change gears. So, its a lazy day for me.

Decided to hold off onto apartment hunting til a little later. Only because I also have to visit the dentist soon and I have no idea how much is going to charge me <_<
I installed Virtual PC onto my home laptop. What it does is emulate an OS. So now I have another system, so to speak, installed on my computer with Windows XP on it. So far I only ran into problem when trying to run anything that requires graphics (games mostly), but that's not really a big deal to me. It's just so nice to be able to run XP on this laptop.

Norfair: I agree on both. The finale and prequel should be great. I'm also hoping Caprica is good. Thats the spinoff series of BSG. The Caprica movie is going to be released on dvd in April I think. The series won't be out till 2010. Dejibo: We saw the sun for a little bit today and then it got all cloudy. The last couple of days we've been getting rain, rain, rain... As for TV shows, I know exactly how you feel: I liked Daises, Eli Stone, and Joan of Arcadia too! Hated when those shows got canceled. Brillant tv shows, imo. Oh and I don't think its the last season of Lost (well, at least, I hope not! ). I think it might be the next to last season or something. Not sure. We're getting some answers anyway. Caller: I haven't seen a show yet where all the episodes were great. Every show has bad ones, ok ones, and good ones. Not all of them have brillant ones though. Lost and BSG have had plenty of brillant episodes imo. For instance: this season of Lost is just....wow! The writers have been going all out. I don't think there's been a bad episode yet this season. The show just keeps getting better and better! Anyway, yesterday I went to see... WATCHMEN! And it was GREAT! A warning though: its R rated so its not for the kiddies. Some...idiot (to put it politely ) had some kids in the audience in the showing I went to today. I mean come on...the movie has violence (lots of it) and nudity (lots of it). I don't know what this guy was thinking. Maybe he just saw the preview and said, " Oh, superhero movie...the kids will love it." *groan* Anyway, it was a great movie. Watchmen is much more of a Drama than a action movie. Yes, it has action, but it has much more talking in it than action. I think the previews may be a little misleading. Watchmen is so much more than a regular superhero action movie. Like I said, though, it does have a lot of violence and nudity. More than my dad or I usually care for, but the movies story counterbalances that. Its just a brillant story. Zack Sydner (who directed 300) and co. did a great job adapting the graphic novel. I can't wait till the movie comes out on Blu-ray. Especially the ultimate cut around Christmas which is going to contain some of the Black Freighter cartoon (which is coming out as a seperate release this month). Then the story will be even more faithful to the graphic novel. Well, huh, sorry for the rambling. This probably isn't the right thread to be going on and on about this. I'm not even sure if any of you are interested in the movie or my thoughts on it. lol. As for the rest of my day, after the movie, I watched some recorded tv shows (Dollhouse & two Numbers) and played Fallout 3. Not looking forward to class on Tuesday or Thursday. Its going to be a pain of a week. *sigh* I just have to keep reminding myself that after Thursday I'll have my Spring Break! Yes!

I'm not fond of how Lost can't make up its mind between "Not alone on the island" to "strange random beasts on the island" to "personal character interactions giving way to some eerie strange monster no one's ever seen on the island." Pick an arc and stick with it already...
As for us getting together that's not really in the cards I don't' think. As for budgeting, between my car and computer, that's my paycheck right there except for maybe $100. And I doubt I'm gonna find an apartment for $100 a month....and if I do, I don't think I wanna be anywhere near it. >.>
I just gotta ride it out like I always do and wait to see what falls in my lap really.
I'm apparently supposed to go see a friend this week but I haven't heard from him since two weeks ago and I told him NOT to wait til the last minute to tell me what's going on....and so he waits til the last minute to tell me what's going on. Drives me crazy and this is why I'm a sociopath, it just is.

Pick an arc and stick with it already... Well, there are not that many random beasts (or strange monsters) this season and they definitly know that they are not alone on the island... OH and the personal character stuff is the cream and crop of the show. lol. Lost is, at its heart, a Character Show. Sure, it has plots, but what is really important are the characters. The thing that I love about Lost is that it doesn't just stick to one arc. Every season, like Alias did, the show changes (heck, episode to episode the show can change. It never stands still). There is a real progression to the show. I love that. I don't want things to be the same all the time. I suppose thats why I can never get into a lot of drama shows out there or sitcoms. They just get boring. Give me a show like Lost or BSG or Alias any day. Anyway, not doing much today. Went to the library, played some Animal Crossing, and now I'm supposed to be studying. lol.

I saw the new BSG. I liked last week's ep more but this one was good. To think this show is almost over. I like how its only 4 seasons long. Even though it is an amazing show I think its better to end the show while its still strong instead of milking it for all its worth to the point where it starts to suck. Remember Smallville? I do, unfortanatly. I thought about getting into Lost. From what I have heard it started strong but now its so convoluted that its just no worth watching anymore. My friend at work said that they are not even really lost anymore and the show has lost its charm. I can't comment on that since I have not even seen the show but he is not the only person who has said that. Anyways, as for what is going on in my life, for the month of February my boss changed my shift by about an hour. Instead of working 10-5 he had me working 11-6. That extra hour differance was excruciating. The place opens at 11 so when I got in to start my shift, I had a huge pile of crap to deal with PLUS what was coming in from customers soon after. The lunch rush lasts from about noon to 2pm. But there is a whole bunch of crap from the kitchen I have to deal with after 2 so its never slow. Until about 4:30 that is. From there the pace slows down until about 6ish. In other words, from 4:30 to 6 I am bored out of my freaking mind. Nothing to do. It sounds cool, getting payed for nothing. But its boring as hell, just standing around. Now I am back to 10-5. In the morning I have an hour to get caught up on everything. By the time we open at 11 I am ready. The lunch rush comes in, and then from 2-4:30 I am working steadily. From 4:30 to 5 its pretty boring but its only half an hour. Not the 1 and a half hour of bullshit nothingness like it was. And thats all that has bee going on with me. At the moment, my life is pretty uneventful and simple. I wake up, work, come home play World of Warcraft or watch hockey if its on then go to bed. Everyday, five days a week. Simple, but I like it.

I do, unfortanatly. Ya, I'm happy about BSG. Also kind of sad. lol. I have mixed feelings. Though, I do think the finale will be awesome! As for Smallville...I'm not sure why, but I still watch it. lol. Most of the time, its very painful to watch. *sigh* Anyway....did I mention how much I hate group projects? Yesterday, one of the group people e-mailed me and told me to do something else for the project instead of what I was doing. Ugh. Then, I e-mailed back and said that I really didn't have time to write anything else. The project is due on Thursday! Plus, I have a midterm exam that is due Thursday that I haven't even started yet (why do I always put these things off? ). *sigh* So, the person e-mailed me back and said thats ok, someone else will be handling that part of the project. Then, I had someone else e-mail me. Basically, she is trying to guilt trip me cause they had to do lots of research and I didn't have to do any for my part of the project....gahhhhh. *sigh* I'm just fed up about the whole thing. I'm just going to finish what I'm doing, turn it in on Thursday, take part in the presentation as much as I can, and get the heck out of there! I'm so happy that Spring Break is right around the corner. I'm so fed up with tests, group projects, boring classes (three of them are. The Creative Nonfiction is good), lots of homework, etc. I'm really getting stressed about the whole thing. I'm also very, very, very tired. I hardly slept last night. Doubt I'll get much sleep today or tomorrow. DF2506

Ugh Smallville went to hell after season 4...5 was OK...but wow 6 wasn't. Lois and Chloe are the only reasons to watch now. >.>
I'm worried about what's gonna happen to Lost because of what you said. It's not the first time I've heard it. My coworkers are fanatics of the show but most agree they don't like where it's going. I haven't seen any eps yet of the newest season but I guess I'll find out eventually. Sci Fi hasn't finished season one yet as far as I know, they just showed the ep where Hurley meets Roussou.
ANYWAY!
Working on 3hrs sleep sucks >.>

Dejibo, Lost is a rerun tonight...
I have to say I disagree with the people who are not liking Lost right now. The show, imo, has never been better. Earlier seasons were good, but whats going on right now is GREAT. The writing on the show is excellent. So is the acting and everything else. It amazes me that there are people out there that are not liking the current direction (the title Lost has always had a double meaning). Personally, I think its just getting better and better by the episode.
And we are finally getting answers about the island and about all the people. If your a Lost fan, now is definitly NOT the time to give up on the show. Its just amazing what the writers are doing, imo. BSG and Lost are just the best shows on tv right now. If I could only watch two shows on tv, those would be it.
If I could only watch three shows, I'd watch Life on Mars as the third one. Too bad its getting canceled. Grrrr. I have to stop watching new ABC shows...
Anyway, back to my life, I wish I didn't wait till the last mintue to do everything. Gah. Lots of homework to finish up for tomorrow.
But first, I'm going to watch Life and Life on Mars tonight. Wish Lost was on too. *sigh*
