Bald Jason's Musings
Sunday, March 22, 2009
The more I think about the BSG finale the more I think it's just ok, as opposed to fantastic. There are things that I really like about it, and things that I don't. The series didn't jump the shark in the finale; pretty much everything that happened was supported by previous moments in the series. But I think they could have taken it in a different direction and provided a far more satisfying conclusion. As it stands it's an ok finale to a fantastic series. I don't love or hate it. But I wanted to love it. I'll reexamine it when I get the extended cuts and the movie and get to rewatch some stuff.
I had a really nice Saturday. I slept pretty well, until the car alarm woke me up again. Mark took a shower and the alarm went off again (it stops for awhile and then starts again) - I shut it off. I started reading Robotech. I'm liking the characters again now. It's nice spending time with Lisa and the bridge gang; I look forward the character development to come.
Mark went to run some errands and came home with crazy bread (which was really good). We ate and conversed. Later I took a nap, which was also nice. Sometimes if I eat a lot of bread it upsets my stomach but that didn't happen this time, which was a nice surprise.
I jacked off and showered. I cleaned my room a bit. Later I posted on the Trek forum, and chatted with Chris. He had told me a few weeks ago that he'd like to chill with me sometime without Michael; I'm guessing to kind of even the playing field, which I totally get. I told him when I'm free this week; perhaps we'll hang out. The 3some idea is growing on me. I'm still not sure it will happen, but I've not ruled it out yet. Things seem to be going well for Chris and Michael, so that at least is cool. I like this new friendship with them, and our frank discussions. Michael's mom is going to be in town sometime this week; I like her.
Later, Wendy & Jeff came to visit. Mark joined us in my room and we talked about old times, new times, Mollie, Paul, BSG, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Harry Potter, Star Trek - basically lots of GEEK. It was fun. Wendy looks amazing. The visit was great, but short, as they were pretty exhausted.
I had a headache from laughing so much. I took some Midrin and ate. I chatted online and surfed the web.
I don't really have plans for today. Monday night I may go to Necto. Tuesday evening I'm hanging out with my ex-bf Paul. We've been chatting, and on good terms for years now. We always talk about hanging out, and apparently it's happening on Tuesday. Nice.
Friday, Mark & I have eye doctor appointments; hopefully that all goes well.
3 of my TV shows (Pushing Daisies, The L Word, & BSG have ended). The first season of Wolverine is over. Nip/Tuck's 5th season has ended. The Closer's season has ended. That leaves Desperate Housewives (which I'm way behind on), Brothers and Sisters, Ugly Betty (which I'm behind on and considering giving up), The Doctor Whoniverse (which is not currently showing anything), Heroes (which I've given up on), True Blood (which is between seasons), Secret Diary of a Call Girl (which is between seasons), and Smallville (which is having it's strongest season in years).
I'm tired.
