Michael didn't come over last night due to the storm, and having to be at work at 9am. I slept a little. Put some stuff in order on my computer. I ordered a new remote for the camera, Buffy Season 8 Volume 5, preordered Buffy Season 8 Volume 6 (which comes out in March), and also preordered the final 3 David Tennant specials: "The Waters of Mars", & "The End of Time, Parts I & II" (which come out February 2). I used a gift certificate which saved me about $16. I want to go to the comic shop today and get a Willow 1 shot that came out last month which may explain some of my confusion about her Season 8 arc away. When Volume 6 of the graphic novels arrives I might read the season thus far (which includes 9 volumes & a couple 1 shots which may or may not be collected in future graphic novels) and continue with the final issues of the season as we are fast approaching the end of Buffy Season 8 and I'm very interested to see how it plays out. I've not read the last 11 issues, so that could be a lot of fun.

I tried starting a reread of the Harry Potter books and just couldn't get into it for some reason. I instead started the next Robotech book (#04: BattleHymn); perhaps I'll just read that series until I need a break from it (there are 21 volumes all together); I've read the entire series before in 1996 (having read several of the volumes multipe times before that), but I've not really read them since then. I read the firt 2 volumes last year. The first 6 make up the First Generation. Volume 7 is a Lost Generation volume, which is my favorite book in the series. Volumes 8-12 ("The Sentinels") carries on from one point of view in space, while Volumes 13-20 (Lost Generation: "The Masters' Gambit", 2nd Generation, Lost Generation: "Before the Invid Storm" & 3rd Generation) fill us in on what was happening on Earth during 8-12, sometimes crossing over with the previous novels. And volume 21 ("The End of the Circle") brings it all together in one huge finale.

I've been tempted lately to start rewatching BSG (I keep having memories of the miniseries), only I have so many other things to watch that I'm not sure I can afford to. I watched the first episode of Dexter last night (we have the first 3 or 4 seasons) and I'm not sure I'm going to continue with that one or not; it's pretty gruesome and I don't know if I want to be watching that one all the time. I suspect I'll put off rewatching BSG as long as I can so I can see where Caprica takes us. It would be interesting if Caprica had a good long run and then I rewatched all of that, continuing on with BSG. I'm such a geek.

I kind of feel like cleaning. I may do that next.
