Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I started watching Battlestar Galactica streaming on Netflix a week or so ago. It’s eaten at least two full Saturdays. It’s been years now since the miniseries launched the reboot but the show is still incredibly timely and deftly told. The character portrayals are complex and the plotlines still politically subversive (though they were definitely moreso during the contrast of the Bush years). I miss TV that good – miss having a show that I couldn’t WAIT to see and didn’t want to DVR, sitting impatiently through the commercials because I wanted to know what happens next RIGHT NOW.

I’m just into Season 3 and now I’m thinking we should buy the series on BluRay because hot DAMN the special effects are still fantastic.

This week is going well at work – the last two weeks have been a fairly light workload and I’m not complaining. I’m hoping to coast gently into my vacation on Friday afternoon and enjoy warmer climes next week.

In reading, The Weird Sisters as well as a mishmash of things I’ve started and stopped. I did see a bunch of things that grabbed my interest today but I’d rather not buy anything until I get caught up on the current Kindleload.
