So Battlestar Gallactica comes back tonight! Oh my god oh my god oh my god! I am currently bouncing around like a kid on the worst crack-sugar-Wii high EVER. I've played it cool for most of the day but… we're getting close now and I JUST CANT STAND IT!
Squeal. Girly hands.
I'm gushing here on the blog because my husband does not watch the series. Yeah, I know. But I figure HE can put up with ME because he watches way too much car affiliated sports AND I have not dragged him to any chick films this year. (Except for Juno, for which he thanked me.) (Was that this year or last?)
Anyway. 'Cause the thing is you can totally be a girl who likes shoes and lipstick and reads intellectually and is also a major sci-fi nerd. Most people think this cannot be, but I am telling you it can. I know a good purse and I know some damn good sci-fi when I see it! Even my drum teacher, who is always laughing at me, says "You're such an English nerd, but then you're not." I think at the time I was stomping around swearing about getting too old to be putting up with any shit or some such fuck shit damn thing. But the thing is DO NOT BE FOOLED… English nerds can totally kick ass. I mean, seriously, how do you think all those librarians keep everyone in line?
And the sci-fi nerds like me? Well, we might be taking some kick boxing too.
GO STARBUCK!

I’ve only watched by osmosis while sitting on the couch, trying not to interrupt my husband, who is in agony waiting for this show to start, by asking questions (it wasn’t until a few months ago that I realized what they really meant when they say ‘frack.’ Heh). Seriously. He’s pacing the house, and I know already he’s going to go into mourning when the show ends.
I have to be done on the laptop before it starts so I don’t distract him with the tap, tap, tap of the keyboard. It’s book time for me!
My husband loves that show. š Hilarious. You geeky-types crack me up! ::grin::
I am currently biding my time, waiting for my wife to go to sleep, so I can have the whole couch to myself, open a bottle of wine and geek out to the sheer bliss.
It’s gonna be so sad in 10 weeks, but a great time until then.
There is no frackin’ way I’d miss it either..from one geek to another š
Boy do I hear you! In college I was constantly looked at as a typical shoe-lovin’, blonde sorority girl (even though I wasn’t in one), but then people are surprised when they find out I graduated with honors and could kick their ass in video games!
Nerdy girls rock!
I have never seen BSG, but I’ve heard great things about it. I am a major Doctor Who fan (new doctor, not the old stuff), and Torchwood fan. That counts for geeky, right? Maybe I’ll start renting BSG from Netflix and watch it straight through. Or maybe not…. just how many seasons are there?
I haven’t seen any of the new series (I don’t get Sci-Fi), but have fond memories of the original “Battlestar Gallactica”–especially of “Cassiopeia”, who could really get a 12-13-year-old male…excited!
