I had a FANTASTIC and AMAZING first trip of the summer, and now I get to spend the rest of it carefully budgeting. ;-P Took my mother to France for a while, and it was beautiful and fun and awesome. So many pictures to sort through, and other things to catch up on around my home, so I probably won't miss traveling for at least a little while. ( Read more... )

daybreak777 has an interesting post about the nature of cylons, her trust (or lack) in them, etc. Oh, and in the second part she transcribes a lot of the "Cylon Bible" as seen in 'Life on the Cylon Baseship' a clip with interviews with RDM, some of the actors who play cylons, and others.

Just got back from one of those progressive dinners. (Probably I should explain for those not in the know. Special dinner, all planned ahead which house is designated for appetizers, which for the main course, then dessert. And we all follow each other around like sheep for the evening.) Anyway, I did my usual thing--admire the decorating, ( Read more... )

I survived the Great Road Trip of 2008. States where I spent at least two nights during this trip: Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Missouri. I think that's all, but my mind is feeling a bit blurry, so I'm not positive. Anyone want to unpack for me? And buy me some groceries? And clean out my fridge?If you posted anything in the ( Read more... )
