What the hell is going on with Battlestar Galactica?!?!?!  I’m really REALLY starting to get MAD!!  They just keep building up and building up - if there isn’t a little release soon I think my head will fracking explode.

Seriously.

So after watching Battlestar Galactica last night, I really must say that I’m very confused and have NO clue as to what is going on with this season.

I rather like that.

$20 on Laura Roslyn as the final Cylon.

Oh my goodness! Tonight Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica airs.. I cannot tell you HOW EXCITED I AM about this!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight is also the ASU Photographers’ Society Art Auction at First Gallery in Phoenix between McKinley and Filmore on 1st ave! I don’t have anything in it because I am good at making excuses and not finding time to work on things with short notice deadlines. Moo.

Last night was the opening for the show I am in, and it was amazing! My pieces were placed very well in the show, and the napkins were displayed in such a way as I had not even conceived, but it was perfect! I’ll post pictures of the installation as soon as I remember to take my camera to school

Scifi.com has a funny new summary video that’s about 8 minutes long that summarizes Battlestar Galactica from the beginning upto the end of the 3rd season. It sums up all the necessary details and includes a heavy amount of humor as well.

Informational posts have been few and far between I feel, so here’s a quick ketchup post:

• London trip for winter session was cancelled due to lack of people signing up for it. shakes angry fist
• I am extremely busy with school right now.
• I was elected to be the Vice-President of my fraternity (or, as I call it the President of Vice).
• My car turned 70,000 miles old.
• I finally got my flashes (the second time) and I was refunded for the first ones (that disappeared in FedEx’s hands)
• My neighbors moved away taking their hookah-bar and heavy-cologne smell away (yay) but I think they also took “Porch Kitty” which I was kinda hoping they’d be irresponsible owners and leave him so I could adopt! Mr. B is now searching for a new pre-occupation.
• I have been shooting like a madman for my photo classes, and I’m worried that I won’t have anything for my projects.
• The more I learn about photography the more inadequate I feel.

Life is weird.

24 days till new Battlestar Galactica episodes air!!!!!!

Uhm.. so like tonights Battlestar Galactica was COMPLETELY FUCKED UP

This had BETTER not be a season finale, or I’m gonna need medication until Season 4 starts.

Frustrations.  Irrationalities.  Lameness.  No, I’m not talking about W’s State of the Union address.  I’m feeling rather blah lately.  I don’t know why.  Take today for example - I’d decided to walk to campus rather than ride my bike (partially for a change of pace, also because its more exercise than riding my bike) and took my camera along to take a few pictures along the way.  I get home, download them onto my computer and I just don’t know what to think of them.  Nothing ever seems to be in focus.  Autofocus on a camera like this isn’t just a guess, its supposed to be dead-on focus.  Even so, I was shooting with a small aperture which eliminates most depth of field focus issues, and should produce a fairly sharp image.  And still, things just don’t seem quite right on it.  I don’t know if its the lens, the camera, or a combination of the two.  Not only are things seemingly never in focus, but my poor laptop is just too slow to process these images.  I have 2Gb of RAM and the thing still crawls along.

I’ll be upgrading as soon as two things happen:  1)  I find out if my portfolio is accepted and I continue with the Photography major, and; 2)  OS X Leopard ships.  When I find out if I do/do not get into the degree program I’ll decide if I want to get a MacPro with lots of horsepower, or maybe scale down for an iMac and maybe a used medium-format film camera system.  Long term, medium format is what I want to be shooting, but Mamiyas and Hasselblads run in the multiple-thousand dollar ranges for brand new.  But I still need a new computer either way - even with film capture and digital printing, the storage requirements that I will have will surpass my poor little laptop.  As it is, I’ve had to move gigabytes of data onto a USB drive so that I can have room to work.  If I max out my flash-memory card on my camera, I’ll need 2GB of hard drive to download them all.  Yikes!

There’s other stuff going on in the background that I’m not going to bore you with the details on, but its all weighing down on me niggling me to death.  It’s really tough for me to focus sometimes.  When I want to be awake, I am sleepy.  When I want to get to sleep, I become manic and think about everything that could possibly worry me - thus keeping me from falling asleep.  I can count on my right hand the number of times I’ve fallen asleep before midnight in 2007.

I’ve taken a number of approaches to improving my health so far this year.  I have made an effort to not eat-out as much.  I originally said I would eat out ZERO times for January.  Well that wasn’t realistic.  So I have tried to keep it to one or two-times per week for dinner.  Lunch is usually something on campus, thus far it hasn’t amounted to much as there really isn’t anything on campus that is healthy, quick and inexpensive.

Meh, sorry for the downer post.  I’ve already started to bore myself with my whining, so if you’ve managed to read this far I award you a golden star!

Oh!  Battlestar Galactica started up again on Sunday, which is kind of a bad sign.  For SciFi to remove it from Friday is not the best way for the network to promote what is still one of the best (my opinion) shows on TV now.  Season Three has certainly taken a new angle on the show, and its getting to be a bit more philosophical in its narrative.  I like to fantasize about Apollo, Helo and Starbuck’s man-bitch in a hot intergalactic three-way.  Hell, let Starbuck in and make it a fourgy - she’s got a bigger dick than anyone else on the show anyway.. hehe.

Ugh, I’ve said too much. 

My heavens - has it REALLY been a week since I posted?  I apologize.  Lack of my webserver being online has been problematic as well, since I host blogs and sites for multiple groups.  Feh.

Battlestar Galactica Season 3 First two episodes - wow.  I’ve only watched them twice, and I’m still not sure what all is happening.  There is so much social commentary going on in them that it is just hard to get my head around.  Meow.

School

I’m stressing out.. papers, midterms and projects.. its like a never ending flow of crap to do with out a break or any time to do it. Two art history tests next week, 100+ pages of reading to do for a Sociology test the week after that, an 8-12 page paper due the first Monday of November that I can’t settle on a subject for.. MEH!

Other

I’ve yet to unpack.  This is bothersome, but I don’t have enough time to do study, unpacking and everything else it seems.  We still have pledges and the associated shenanigans and drama with that are equally wearisome.  I haven’t worked out in a few weeks and the stress release that comes with that is something I long for.  Top it off with my blog seeming to be broken on back-end stuff that I like to use, and my general level of frustration increases.  Argh.
