(no subject)
So this is it. The day Mark signs his contract and becomes an official employee of the Lebanon school district again! We're going out to a nice dinner with his parents Friday night to celebrate. His Mom wants to see a movie after, and I'm voting for The Brothers Grimm, but it isn't really his parents' kind of movie. Sadly, we'll probably end up seeing something else, and Mark and I will see that one ourselves at some nebulous future point.
To give you some idea, his Mom was lost and confused watching such shows as Batman Begins, Harry Potter (any), Star Wars: RotS, and any LOTR movie. We had to explain them to her after. Because she's so grounded in reality, anything that diverges makes no sense to her. Since Mark and I write fantasy and SF primarily, you can imagine how much of our original work she reads.
Anyway, I have speculations on the preview for this Friday's BSG. I'm spoiler free, so this is just me guessing.
The preview makes it look like Sharon tries to help in the attempted assassination of the Adamas, but I don't think she does. I think Tom and his thug approach her, offering her her freedom (or at least better than her current situation) if she helps them, and she agrees to it, but then turns on them in the end and saves one or more of the Adama men's lives. Which will mean...I don't know. I don't think Lee or Adama will trust her, but they might let her live awhile longer, I suppose. Maybe Lee's homicidal urges toward her will taper off a bit. ;)
Also, does it seem odd to anyone else that Helo suddenly appears to return Sharon's "love"? When did that happen, exactly? I can understand protecting her because she's carrying his child, but holding her hand in the cell and the other little stuff seems...like he's suddenly completely over the fact that she's a cylon. Oooooookay.
Also, am thinking about joining Weight Watchers. I like the idea of their point system and flex points and stuff, and I really need to do something about this extra twenty-thirty pounds. Before Mark and decide to give kids a go. Working out alone doesn't seem to be enough.
I'm also wary of giving so much of my money to something that may or may not work. Any thoughts/personal experiences out there?
