Guard Dog

The premise sounds interesting but I missed the first two show. I'll probably wait for the DVD. I'm really lousy about watching shows on a weekly basis. Battlestar was about the only exception.

And others were calling old girlfriends at 4 am, usually passing out before they answered. Still more were telling the other gorillas they loved them, then got into fights, and one tried to proposition the photographer with a very clumsy and clich

Start playing some of the Total War games. I read that when I was in the military, It was required reading at NCO school. I actually found it very interesting.

I must admit you have a point here. In the end the Cylons were by turns vain, petty, venal, vindictive, and often incapable of acting in their own best interests. Hardly the near all powerful and emotionally detached enemies they were in the beginning. In other words, they were more human than human. I guess the direction they took developing the Cylon characters and the way the whole final five was handled (in my opinion that strained credulity) was the only real flaw in the show. I don't think it was a fatal flaw and I still enjoyed all four seasons immensely. I just think I would have done it differently.

Now reading The 5000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen and Rebels and Redcoats by George Scheer and Hugh Rankin..

You've got to admit, the end sequences with the flashes of modern robots was just a perfect wrap up.

Got some new books in the mail yesterday. Just got the dogs fed (always an interesting process these days) now going to sit on my porch and read. Hopefully I'll kill off the whole day that way. At least until the game comes on tonight.

You are one unhappy dude Gorgon! I can't remeber the last positive thing you posted about this show. I can't imagine there would have been any conclusion you would have been happy with. That said I do think it was an odd choice. However, as someone who has made a career out of engineering and optimizing technology I must admit the concept of leaving it all behind does appeal to me on several levels.

Never finished IWD2. About half way through I realized I hated that game. Never finished Oblivion which is amazing considering how many games I started. My problem there is I'll get to about level 12-15 and realize my character has a build flaw because of some poor choices when levelling up. The only thing I can do is start over. And over.

It wouldn't work that well is SHE was in High School . Calax has enough problems already, going to jail would make thing worse.

Right now I'm drinking a big glass of a little lemonade and a lot of Makers Mark, pecking at my laptop, and watching Maury Povich. I'd put a DVD in but I dont want to rile the dogs and it just hurts too much to get up.

Gene Simmons was badly injured in a skiing accident too a few years ago. I guess if you are famous stick to the beaches and stay off the slopes.

On that note I bought a bunch of MST3K dvd on ebay. The bummer is it is never as funny as the first time you see it. Back on topic, this is one of the signs of the collapse of western civilization. Dumbing down of the language and culture. Such as it is. Who wants to watch a channel whose name sounds like an off brand bottled water distributor or a sushi restraunt in some small Balkan town?

It's a lot healthier than my 6ft. 4in. (183cm.) 125lbs. (56.7kg.) Someone buy this man a hamburger or two. That is rail thin. I think I look ok physically speaking. No fat, not skinny. I wear a size 44 long jacket and my waist is a 34-36 depending on the make of the jeans. As Taks correctly pointed out I am getting old, but I'm in better shape than some people my age I know.

Just got home from doctors, cast stays on at least two more weeks. I going f***ing stir crazy!

I was entertaining a theory that the dying leader turned out to be the Galactica itself. As for Starbuck, don't expect much. Katee Sackoff was not happy with the way her story arc was left hanging. Looks like there may be some loose ends after all is done, but that may be by design to leave creative room if they ever pick the title back up. Personally I hope they do not. I think for the most part this series has been very well done and further production can only detract from it. I know there have been some rumblings of unhappieness with the show on this thread but I believe that most of you agree that this was a quality show. Not too many come along you can say that about. For my money this was the best Sci Fi on TV since DS9 wrapped up.

For my next car I want one that bounces. Or failing that one with an on board drunk driver detection system.

Nice, but I'm 6'5" and weigh about 210 pounds. I'd never fit in it. Plus I live off a dirt road, it would never make it down after a hard rain. I was looking at a used Jeep Liberty at CarMax. But it'll be a while before I can really test drive. Thats just shy of 2 meters and just over 95 kg for those who use the metric system.

I have to look for a new car now too. Thats sucks because I loved that truck. It wasn't much. Just a non descript red Mercury mountaineer. But I bought it brand new in 1998, paid it off in 2002 and put every mile it had on it myself. I did every oil change, every brake job, everything except tires myself. At almost 200K miles it had never given me a more serious problem than a bad alternator. That was like losing an old friend.

It's been six weeks actually. I have four pins in my femur now and they hold the bone in place and force it to knit properly. But I won't be totally free, I'll be trading the cast for a removable splint so at least I can take a shower. These sink baths are just not doing it for me. Especially after PT. The have me using 5 pound dumbells now along with the squishy ball. My right arm has two pins and it's out o the cast now.

I've lost all desire to pursue a graduate degree. I took one class almost two years ago but just can't gin up the interest. To say nothing of the time and expense which is considerable on both counts. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow for X-Ray. I hope beyond hoping the leg cast can come off. I have this freaking itch.... just... can't... reach....

I like my coffee dark and bitter. And most of the women I've dated and all of the women I've married could be so described with accuracy.

Just finished Odd Man Out by Matt McCarthy. If you are a baseball fan you should give it a look, it's a great read. It's a memoir of a low drafted minor leauge pitcher. Now reading Shadow Country by Peter Mathissen and Ferve Dream by George RR Martin. Is it just me or are there just no original ideas left in Fantasy/Sci Fi these days? Browsing on Amazon is like shifting through a bucket garbage trying to find one good thing.

I'm in favor of government-controlled mandatory abstinence. And you are probably going to get it the way things are going.

I spent the day trying to play computer games. I just can't get into them anymore. Not even the Elder Scrolls Games, NWN, or the IE games and those were my all time favorites. With the exception of ETW and OOTP 10 there is not a single game coming up that even slightly catches my eye. Could I be losing interest in gaming!?
