More Fun

For the last hour I have been sitting in my home office wondering if someone is attempting to break into my house and doing a really lousy job of it, or if there is a hurricane on one side of my house but not the other. But, about 5 minutes ago I figured out what was really happening. People are setting off strange little firecrackers in the street in honor of Pioneer Day. Pioneer Day is a holiday in Utah. I find it strange and bizarre, but whatever.

So now that the Harry Potter hoopla is dying down, I can admit the other obsession I've had for the last few weeks. Battlestar Galactica. BSG for short. I've been getting the different episodes and seasons on DVD from Netflix, and basically, I'm addicted. I love it. Starbuck is my hero and I have a huge crush on Apollo. I highly recommend watching the show from the beginning. It's good stuff.



In other media and pop culture addictions, I am looking forward to the midnight Simpsons movie showing this week with friends. No tenga una vaca, hombre! (The first spanish I ever learned.)

Other news... my brother entered boot camp today for the Air National Guard. My sister and her boys leave tomorrow for 2 weeks at my parents' house. My baby sister is officially a fire fighter in VA now. My cats ran away, or maybe they got chased away. A new cat has moved in in their place. (Uninvited- I want my cats back!) The new cat, currently named Murphy Brown (knocked up, annoying, single woman), is pregnant and taken over my garage. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a slew of kittens in the next 2-3 days. This does not please me. I want Mork and Mindy back (my cats)!!! I miss them! And last but not least, I did get the chance to weigh myself while I was back in Virginia last week. I hadn't lost as much as I had hoped/thought I had. Only 9 lbs. But still, 9 lbs ain't too shabby, right? I stopped taking the My Alli pills while I was traveling. But I'm back on them and the diet now. Only 21 more lbs to go, right?
