Most of you guys know I'm horribly behind on BSG. I've been watching DVDs with my cat, trying to catch up- no, really. Sam likes BSG. She hears the music for the studio logo start up, and she's almost always right there to curl up in my lap. I think she likes watching all the people running back and forth, and the fighter scenes seem to be a particular fave. (Is my cat stalking Starbuck's Viper? Prolly.)

Anyway, I'm only getting through an ep or two a day, sometimes more. I'd like to see more, faster, but I'd forgotten that this is a show you have to process. So I watch a bit, and I let it percolate. And sometimes I have to pause and shout at Tigh or roll my eyes at Baltar, or Gods know, comment to my cat.

GODS I love this show.

But now I'm fishing around for icons, and plotting fic, because I'm just cross-wired that way, skirting icon spoilers, which is a bit difficult when your current OTP is Adama/Roslin... and it occurs to me that this show is going to make me cry. Again.

Today's ep, "Final Cut", s2, which brings the number of Cylons I'm supposed to know about in the fleet to... 4? And that's if you count Doral and Leoben. Or, you know, five, if we count the Number Six in Baltar's head. (Does she count? Do we count head!Six?) So technically I'm still missing 4 out of the 8 Sharon told Baltar about.

Overall Cylon spoiler count- pretty damn close to 12. I know characters we haven't even met yet who are Cylons. *sigh*

I'm trying to come to terms with this the way I did with the Babylon 5 spoilers. Even going in knowing as much as I did, knowing wasn't the same as seeing, and some of it, I swear I forgot, like the Sheridan/Delenn stuff in "In The Beginning." Maybe 'cause we didn't see Sheridan for like a year, and I was always more of a Sinclair fan anyway, but... I digress.

And because I am nuts this way, I'm tempted to app a Cylon Centurion in theatrical_muse. Something along the lines of Bugs & Daffy, or Bob the Shadow Ship...

I really need to get a life. :)

Okay, so, first things first- I'm still WAY behind on Battlestar Galactica, by which I mean I've seen the miniseries and the first season. There was no way I was gonna catch up in time for the new eps, and I wasn't gonna try. So, just to be clear...

I DON'T WANNA KNOW WHO THE LAST FRAKKING CYLON IS, K?

Or, you know, anything else of a spoilery nature. I love this show, and I'd like to have stuff hit me the way it's supposed to, instead of reading it in someone's post. I've already had to try and forget old spoilers, especally of the "so and so's a Cylon" variety, so... yeah.

And that was maybe a little shouty, I apologize, but the SciFi channel is starting to drive me NUTS with their commercials, to the point where I mute the TV, close my eyes, cover my ears and sing "lalalala can't hear you" until Mom stops laughing at me long enough to tell me it's okay to look.

My flist is usually pretty good about this, I just like to reiterate this once in a while when the big fandom stuff comes along.

Righto, moving on.

I started back to school last week. Started with 12 units, am now down to 9. I really only did the 12 so I'd be set for financial aid for London, and since London fell through, I'm not in dire need of the full financial aid... Anyway, I'm down to Woman's Studies, Biological Psychology, and an Anthro class called Magic, Witchcraft, & Religion. The class I dropped was an intro to Photo. I might give it another shot some other semester, but I just can't deal right now. It's one of those 'back to basics' classes where I'd have to leave my digital camera at home unless it's an SLR (hah! not on my budget!) and I learned the hard way last week that our old Canon SLR has a screwed-up light meter, which would be okay if I could see the thing, because I could adjust for it. But since I can't read the bloody thing... Anyway, I dropped the class this morning and it's amazing how much better I feel.

I'm waiting for both Antrho and Woman's Studies to get past the basic intro stuff. Anthro in particular is annoying me a bit right now, because we have another week to two weeks of basic anthropology before we even get to dust off our textbook. But I think it's going to be good once it gets rolling. Same with Woman's Studies.

Not surprisingly, I LOVE my psych class. I could ramble on about it for a while but I think I might bore people.

Let's see, what else is going on? Oh... we found the kitten a new home at a shelter. He and Sam were NOT getting along- by which I mean that Sam was gonna kill the little guy. She's very much the alpha kitty, and let us know that she would prefer to remain an only kitty. Oh yeah, and the kitten? Hauled off and bit me hard enough to bruise on Christmas day. I just don't think he was well-socialized, wherever he was before he wandered over here. But he's young, he's cute, is fixed and has all his shots (thanks to us...) and purrs almost constantly. We like to think he has a nice new home by now.

I feel bad sometimes for having taken him to the shelter, but it really wasn't a good situation for any of us. I'd hardly realized how stressed all of us were- Me, Sam, Mom, and probably the kitten too- until he'd been gone a few days. We think Sam's mostly forgiven us, although she's still being really clingy with me. (That could just be because I started back to school, too, and thanks to Photo last week I didn't get home until 3:30 a few days. She hates that kind of thing.)

And, really randomly, I just wasted 15 or so minutes watching video ads for some WiFi connected rabbit the LJ ads were trying to sell me. It's called Nabazatag or something, and seems like the kind cute but useless thing you'd buy for a rich friend who already had every useful gadget known to humankind. $99!

Apparently there's actually a market for this thing. *facepalm*
