Television, books, and the remainder of my sanity.

Have you visited the Frequency Site yet?

No?

Hopefully, it will become a hub for information on the GF Pilot and (hopefully) TV series.

Keep mailing and making yourselves heard. Look at what it did for Farscape.

Anyway,

Anyone else besides me watching the new Battlestar Galactica and loving it? Three episodes into the the second season, they are killing people left and right. I love watching this show. I was talking to a friend and He wants lasers instead of machine guns. I dig the fact that they have more realistic armaments (even if the idea of walking God-Fearing Robot killing machines is an allegory for fanatics across the world.)

The writing on the show is great, the acting is great and I fear that it might suffer the Farscape fate. Sci-fi is notorious for canceling shows that have a dedicated fanbase. Ah well.

I have yet to actually listen to one of Ron Moore's podcasts while watching the show - I understand that it is an informative experience. I shall have to try it.

I'm sort of thrilled with the amount of good TV I have at the moment. The bigger issue? It is distracting me from my reading.

As I said in my last post, I have been working on "The Amber Spyglass" - by Phillip Pullman, "Gloriania" - By Michael Moorcock, and "The Rise of Modern Japan" - by W.G. Beasley.

I haven't gotten much further in any of them. I might be distracted by my Japanese finals, but I blame Battlestar. (and that cursed need to sleep).

Ah well.

OH. and a political correctness note - When did it become fashionable to not call terrorists - TERRORISTS? All I see them called now is "Suicide Hijackers. Militants. Rebels. Insurgents" What the fuck? Are we trying to make them more palatable to the masses?

Whatever.

More in a bit.

I'll even try and stay away from politics.


Oh yeah - I almost forgot. Buy a Shirt. I'm hoping to introduce some new designs soon, but I would like to publish this one first.
