Sorry about the double post.
Yesterday, I did my group presentation. I think it went ok. Better than I thought anyway. Best of all, though, its OVER! *whew*
Got my other homework done too.
And now...I'm FREE! FREE I TELL YA! lol.
Well, free for a week or so. Spring Break people!
So what are my plans for Spring Break? Er...well...I'll probably just sit around, rest, relax, and do some homework at almost the last mintue. lol.
Ya, I know. Sounds really exciting doesn't it?
Oh well, I am happy to have the week off. I need a break from this semster. Also, I have a major writing to do for the Nonfiction...so that'll keep me busy some too.
Plans for today: Rest, watch Terminator, Dollhouse, and Battlestar Galactica! Oh and of course, play some Animal Crossing: City Foik and Fallout 3.

GAH! Only one episode left of BSG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last nights was kind of meh, but I like that its building to the finale. And the President is still one of my absolute favorite characters ever. Her story about her sisters was just so sad.
I just hope that two hours will be enough to wrap it up. Still lots of things I dont understand.
WHO IS THE #6 In Baltars freaking head?!?!?!
*sigh*

so many good shows are ending. Lost, ER, BSG, ELi Stone, Pushing up Daisys, and so on. Yet...some how...Survivor continues to annoy us all. That show was great for the first year or two, but then...its just a bunch of pretty people stuck whining about each other, while they try to get camera time to advance their careers. Bah! And what the hell is with the show 24? Thats an AWFUL show! Its so stupid. We constantly flip through all our channels screaming "there isnt shit on TV! all these channels and nothing to watch!" We have the everything package, so we have ALL the channels. The HBO, showtimes, TMC and so forth arent even showing shows from this decade! They are showing Money pit, Forrest Gump, and silly crap from the 1980s and 1990s. ET is on! come on! Terms of Endearment was released in 1983! at least show us something from this century! *puts soapbox away*
back to my cleaning.

And who is the Baltar in #6's head? I have not seen this new ep yet but I will download it today. Its hard for me to pick a favorite character in this show. Mainly because every character in the show is flawed but likeable. But if I had to choose I'd go with Kara and Saul.
Next week on the Space channel here in Canada Land they are doing an all day BSG marathon. They will show the second half of the 4th season followed by the 2 hour series finale. Then have something else planned afterwards but you're guess is as good as mine as to what that is. Probably cast and crew interviews and what not.
EDIT>> Dejibo posted before this and I didn't notice. About Survivor. Yeah, I watched the first season way back when. It was fun and interesting cause it was new. Reality TV wasn't as big back then so I did enjoy the show at the time. Everything after that was crap. For reasons you mentioned.

Kikaro: I enjoyed the episode. Sure, it was all set-up, but I liked all the character stuff on Caprica. That was unexpected. Baltar's stuff with his father and Roslin's tradegy were the most telling moments. Can't wait to see the finale! Dejibo: Ya, I'm going to miss BSG, Lost (though I think Lost has one more season at least), Pushing Daises, Eli Stone, Life on Mars. As for Survivor, I wouldn't even give it the first season. I never liked that "show". The whole reality craze just sucks imo. OH and I like 24. Yes, some past seasons have sucked, but this recent season, while a bit similar to the past seasons, has been good imo. Not great, but good. Last episode was a bit shocking. Norfair: Kara and Saul are great characters. Two of my favorites really. I also like Adama, Roslin, the Chief, and Apollo has become such a better character. So many great characters in BSG. Man, I'm going to miss it... I hope Sci-Fi is going to do a BSG maratheon. I know they'll be showing the special, last nights episode, and then the two-hour finale! Anyway, if I had to pick two shows I like a lot: it would be BSG and Lost. Those two are just GREAT. I also like Life on Mars a lot and House. Oh and Supernatural has had a lot of really good episodes. Plus, the orignal CSI lately and 24 has been better than Heroes imo, but Heroes is still good. Of course, Medium is even better than Heroes (that show has always been good). I also like Prison Break, but I have no clue when or if that show is coming back. Oh wait, there's also Terminator, which is probably going to end this season. Good show. I've also been watching Dollhouse, but it hasn't been as great as I was hoping it would be. Has Joss Whedon lost it? Hope not... I'm a tv bug! lol. Anyway, back to the main topic: My day today? Its ok. Kind of boring. I think we're going to stop by the video store today and see if theres anything to rent. Maybe a couple of older movies and a video game (if I'm lucky. its the weekend...). I'd really like to play Killzone 2 or especially Resident Evil 5, but I bet both of those will be rented out....*sigh* My dad wants to get one of those DSi's next month. It sounds really cool. Hope he gets one. Well, guys, have a good day. Stay out of trouble! Or get into trouble! Whatever works! DF2506

Kikaro, how is Bryce? I'm concerned.
All I ever watch on TV anymore is Family Guy really... not that big of a TV person, but I love my Family Guy.
Granny comes back home on Tuesday, gonna spend the day with my momma to go pick up Granny from the airport. I can't wait to see her!

oh yeah, I never updated. Sorry about that. Well Lets see. Bryce got the Flu while he had his abcessed Tooth. THen I caught the flu. He got over that and finished his antibiotics. two days ago he had his root canal.
He has one more appointment just to do a checkup but he is 100% in the clear it looks like. I fear how he would have handled this without me. He would probably be dead LOL.

I'm not a big TV person either. Battlestar Galactica and Heroes are the only things I watch. I used to like Family Guy but I find the show gets so redundant. Like almost every single joke revolves around the same concept of flashbacks. "Hey this just happened. Kinda like that time when such and such happened!"...followed by a 5 second reenactment that makes little sence. ....and back to the show at hand. Actually Southpark made fun of Family Guy for doing that. The episode was called Cartoon Wars and it even had a guest appearance by Bart Simpson (not the same voice obviously). I like Southpark a lot more. It goes places that most cartoons won't (even Family Guy) and its supremacist and anti semitistic view points are quite provocative and fun. Cause its topics that people THINK but never venture upon. Plus, Butters is awesome EDIT>> Once again, someone posts before I do without noticing. I am glad your dude is ok, Kik. Once this is all over you two can get back to life and stuff. I wish you two, and everyone else on these boards, good times with video games and TV shows and other such trivial bullshit that we don't need but enjoy non the less.

Glad to hear he is doing OK, I was really concerned about him. After hearing about the absessed tooth deaths over the years, I couldn't help but to wonder if he was alright.

I made him be ok. He didnt want to go, so I just scheduled the appointments without his permission.
Today is kind of boring at work. Gotta keep busy though got a lot of eyes on me making sure I am doing a good job. They want me to take over another department of 1 person and basically do the work of 2 people. Its not hard work, just lots of busy reporting and stuff. So I dont see how I will have the time, but if the owner of the company wants me to do it because he says I am reliable, and better to work with, i should probably do it huh?

Just be like "I'll do it.....for $5 an hour more" Ok, you guys remember when I went to Vegas last year and we came back and found our freezer switched off and all our elk meat rotton inside? I can't remember if I said how it happened at the time or not. It happened cause mom switched off a few breakers to try and save energy while we were gone. I knew it was a bad idea at the time but she said it was a good thing to do. ANyways, one of those breakers was for our freezer. So what she did when we got back was call our insurance company, told them what happened (minus the part where she was playing with breakers) and they not only offered to pay us for a new freezer but also pay us for new elk meat. We got the new freezer in November but we just got all the elk meat yesterday. So now we have a shit load of elk meat again and it was all free. We have it in burgers, steaks, roasts and rolladin (a german dish which is amazing) So we have our elk meat back and we are happy as hell. We are making the rolladin tonight.

Yesterday, I bought Resident Evil 5. Such a cool game. I also put a DSi on reserve for my dad. He really wanted one. And his birthday was recently, so I said, " Consider it your birthday present." Of course, he won't get it till April, but its the thought right? lol. Also: recently I have been reading a book called " A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" for my Nonfiction class. Its an excellent book. VERY funny, wacky, strange, just up my alley. hehe. The author is Dave Eggers. I haven't finished it yet, but I do recommand it so far. This is a book that makes me laugh and really sucks me into its world. I won't know till I finish it if it really lives up that name or not though. hehe. Not much else going on. I'm enjoying my Spring Break so far though. DF2506

I made him be ok. He didnt want to go, so I just scheduled the appointments without his permission. Apparently "Oh yeah, you can die from this" isn't scary enough, huh. But I really have no room to talk, I need a mammogram and a pap smear but I'm too chicken to go get it done. I'll pass on a stranger poking around in my naughty bits, thanks... though that's not why I'm avoiding the mammogram, I don't want to feel the pain of the boob smasher. >.< Grats Norfy on your new freezer and elk meat. That was really nice of them to replace everything like they did! I've never had elk before, or any sort of game meat for that matter... is it as common as hamburger or beef in your neck of the woods?

Not common in my neck of the woods, no. Whether its easier to get in Canada than it is in the states, I do not know. Its not like you can just go into a grocery store and ask for elk meat. We bought it from a dude that has an elk farm. He kills it, sends it off to a butcher and the butcher cuts and wraps it in the ways we want it. And they only do slaughters like, two or three times a year. Thats why we couldn't get it right when we got the freezer a few months back. Had to wait for the slaughter. We spoke to the dude who raises them and he said he originally got into elk farming not to sell the meat but to sell the antlers. Asians are ape shit for antlers and other various animal goodys for their medicinal uses. But a few years ago he found that there is more money in the meat. Which makes sence
