I went to bed around 6pm. I woke up around 1am and tried to get to sleep, though it took a while because Mark was talking on the phone. I just woke up again. I had strange dreams. Lots of them. The last one I was playing Spyro 2 with Mollie, with an Atari controller. And all through this we were listening to this really annoying song that is stuck in my head now. Blah.

I read the news. I updated my facebook page. I took some prilosec. I commented on another AfterElton BSG bashing... and I'm thinking I'll probably go grocery shopping today.

I read more of my book. I have about 50 pages left. I comments on a bunch of facebook stuff. I showered. I should get dressed and go grocery shopping, but I'm trying to decide if I want to get pizza as well. Hmmmmm.

I went to the bank but couldn't get any cash out; I tried 3 times, but the atm said that my pin number was wrong. That's troublesome. I got groceries anyways. I got cheeze bread and wine and came home. I ate and watched "The Closer" and some old 'War at Home' episodes.

I started getting one of my migrains shortly after my last entry (yesterday). I took some pain killer. Later I went to bed, around 5:30pm, and finished reading the first Vampire Diary before sleeping. I slept for about 7 hours. I woke up around 1am. I read and replied to emails and facebook messages. I read the news. Had a snack. Wrote this. I'll start the next book now.

I never started the next book. I never left the computer. I just ended up reorganizing a bunch of files and stuff on my computer. It was fun. I'm wacky, and I accept that. lol

I took a nap. Had strange dreams; Mark was in them. I organized some more stuff. I got Mark up for work. I watched some behind the scenes BSG videos. And I'm thinking I'm ready for some breakfast.

I got some artwork done. I chatted with this hot guy for awhile. I exchanged messages with one of Victor's other hookups. And sent random facebook messages. And when it finally came time for me to actually sleep...I couldn't. I slept briefly and had a nightmare there was someone in the condo with me. Because of this exhaustion I cancelled my trip to Necto.

Mark was able to get me my grocery money from the bank, which refused me on Sunday. He also brought in the mail, which included my new copy of the final Robotech volume. It's a nearly new copy, first edition, which means it's nearly 20 years old. Very cool.

I started the 2nd Vampire Diaries book; read the first 70 pages or so. I was a little disappointed with the first one, remembering them as silly but fun, but finding the first volume just silly. The 2nd one is better though.

I finished the 2nd Vampire Diary this morning, then got Mark off to work on time. I read the first 125 pages of the 3rd Volume. Ate. Wrote this.

I've been chatting and listening to old Pet Shop Boys. I was about to shave and shower when Mark got home; he's very sick; apparently throwing up. I hope he'll be ok. I wonder if it's the flu, or food poisoning, or what? Hopefully he'll be ok.

Ok. A question. I've been thinking about this for awhile and I'm starting to wonder if Cavil knows about the Final Five? He was so gung ho about the other Cylons not trying to track them down, almost like he was protecting them. His Cylon model # is 1. Does that have some significance? He had close ties to 4 of the final 5 Cylons before they knew they were Cylons. He tried to convince Tyrol that he wasn't a Cylon in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 1"; he was apparently part of Ander's resistance movement in some form (in "Lay Down Your Burdnes, Part 2"); he taunted Saul Tigh while he was in prison on New Caprica ("Occupation"); and he had sexual relations with Ellen Tigh. The only one left unmolested (that we know of) is Tory. Seems a bit fishy to me.

I went to bed around 10pm. I woke up around 5:30am. Mark is awake and says he's feeling better, though his headache isn't gone.

I dreamt I was reading all my books. Like I'd worked my way through all the books that I own...and I was content. I was packing some of my books away and I actually found some money; a nice surprise. I remember packing away The Merlin Trilogy. I should read those someday.

I finished the 3rd Vampire Diaries book this morning. I remember crying at the ending the first 2 times I read it, but I remembered it too clearly for that to happen this time. I think I might read something else before the 4th Volume, or maybe I'll just wait until tonight to start it. I don't know. I do know the 4th Volume feels separate from the first 3.

Got Mark off to work on time. The 5th Vampire Diary had arrived. Nice.

I'm so horny today. What's up with that?

I'm getting a headache. It actually started last night and has come and gone and come again since. I think it's because of the weather. I just took a really relaxing shower though, and that helped a bit.

I was about to go to bed, when I saw my friend Jonathan was apparently in some distress, based on his facebook 'status'. I left him a message expressing my concern. A bit later he sent me a message through the facebook messaging system (which scared the hell out of me) and before long we were on the phone talking about all manner of things. It was a wonderful conversation with old subjects revisited, new subjects boldly explored, a shared vision of the world acknowledged, and a coming together of old friends who've not spent nearly enough time together.

It did however keep me up much later than I've been going to bed.

Goodnight.

I slept until about 7am. I had a snack, even though I was feeling kind of acidy, because I was so hungry. I watched the first 3 episodes of the 2nd Season of Teen Titans. I own the first 2 seasons, but I've never really sat down and watched them. I'm finding them much more amusing now that they're not actually airing. They used to annoy me as I was much more interested in a serious Titans series that could crossover with Justice League and it's many counterpart shows. I never hated it, but it wasn't what I wanted either. I caught a few episodes that I enjoyed, but never really got into it.

I got Mark up for work, though he's kind of dragging a bit, and I'm not sure he'll be early today.

Battlestar Galactica is on Tomorrow :-)

ugh. I've had this on again / off again migrain for I don't even know how long now; it's really starting to piss me off.

But Battlestar Galactica is on tonight, and from what I've heard, it's going to feature a lot of the characters that I love, and at least 1 charcter that I think I'm going to love soon enough.

And Kate Vernon has confirmed that her BSG character will appear in "The Plan"! About The Plan...I really do hope they don't push the airdate back to later than June, as for me it's really the capper to the show and I've been so excited at the prosect of seeing it since I first heard about it.

I was also thinking this morning...if they haven't done this in "The Plan" already, perhaps they could do another BSG movie that incorporates some of the many deleted scenes from the series; the ones that don't contradict later official episode cuts. That would rock. The deleted scenes from "Downloaded" in particular would seem to have been something that could have worked in "The Plan", and would have allowed Lucy Lawless's character to appear, as well as Gina. Just a thought.

The midrin is (thankfully) working great, for now. I hope it lasts.

Getting psyched about BSG tonight. 14.5 hours to go.

I got Mark off to work; he should be early. Go me! Or....Go us!

My headache is still gone. Hopefully it stays gone.

I left some more messages at AfterElton concerning their lack of happiness with the BSG Gays. Erg.

Mollie left me a text message this morning. I guess her man broke up with her this morning. The day before Valentine's day!!! And 1 day after she saw some other skanky girl hitting on him. I want to kick him in the balls... But he's in TN. He better stay there.

About 8.5 hours until BSG. ;-0)

Just 5 weeks from tonight and I'll be watching the 2 hour finale of BSG. Just 2 months from yesterday, the new Doctor Who special "Planet of the Dead" will air. Just 2 months, a week and 1 day and I'll have the extended cut of the pilot episode for Caprica.

I played some Playstation games today. I did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. I've got a load of laundry in the dryer, and I've picked up some of the clutter in my room, though it's hard to tell, it had gotten so messy. I'm gonna try to get more of that done before BSG is on.

I got some more stuff done.

I was going to watch the premiere of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, but I can wait for the download...and also...I'm not sure what channel it's on. lol. Besides. I've got stuff to do. I don't actually have high hopes for the series, despite the hands of Joss, who has yet to do anything wrong... I just don't love the premise, and I just have a feeling that it might not be for me. I worshipped Buffy, appreciated Angel, and I fell in love with Firefly. Dr. Horrible was a dream. I have no reason to doubt Joss, and hopefully I'm wrong. It doesn't help that I'm so obsessed with BSG - which is on in less than an hour!!!! ;-0)

I'm tempted to shave my head. I've not shaved in nearly 2 weeks. But Mark complimented me on my beard this morning, which makes me want to keep it. Yet I'd been planning on doing this. Erg.

I guessed something right! Cavil did know about the Final Five. And I love Ellen now! And there was SO MUCH INFORMATION given. And we found out about the 13th Cylon!!!!!!! Daniel! Could that be Daniel Graystone!?!?!?!?!??! Argh! Boomer / Galen foreshadowing? I think so. Awesome episode. It explained why there's no Cylon #7. It explained how Ellen got on that ship in Season 1. It explained how Cavil is tied to all the final 5. It explained about the Cylon history (though I really need to go through it again to understand it all) - but it's awesome. ;-0)

The only thing that kind of irked me in the episode, and this is small, is that Anders storyline felt like a dead on cross between the "Babel" & "Rapture" episodes of DS9. I can live with that.

Questions still remaining:

Who or what is Starbuck?

Who or what are the head characters?

Are these head characters that appear to Baltar, Caprica Six & Kara the same head characters that appeared to the Final Five?

Who nuked Earth? Was it the Centurions?

Did Cavil/John start lead the attack on the 12 colonies?

What is this colony that was mentioned? Is that where the Cylons lived between the 1st war and the 2nd?

What about the 7th Cylon? Daniel? Now that I think about it he probably isn't related to Daniel Graystone from the Caprica series, as the 7th Cylon hadn't been created yet.

Who is the dying leader and what is the truth of the Opera House?

What is the significance of Hera?

I find that I miss Caprica Six's interaction with Baltar. Her sudden couplehood with Tigh and the complete lack of any scenes between Six & Baltar seems very odd in retrospect...and wrong somehow.

I slept well last night. I've been up for several hours. I've eaten, and been fooling around online. So many BSG reviews to read and ponder. Here is the Sci-Fi preview of next week's episode ("Deadlock"):

(there's a freez frame on the player from the trailer which is spoilery for those not caught up on the action so I'm putting some spoiler space above and below it.
