-Thank you, Dawn, for the headsup on this!-
So, I’ve been cuddling up this last few weeks, reading Dune. I needed something to read, and while in the bookstore, it occurred to me that I had never actually read Dune, that I had only seen the movie, and that was a loooong time ago. Suddenly Dune references are popping up all over. Have I unwittingly hooked into a zeitgeist?
Well, this morning Will emailed me a link to something just wonderful -
If you’ve read Dune, and you’ve read Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, you may love this as much as I do. Clicky on the pic to go read the whole thing. I giggled a lot.
So on Tuesday Syfy aired the last five episodes of Caprica back to back, and I recorded them for leisurely ad-free watching on Wednesday. I liked the series well enough when it was out, despite it being slow moving.* I liked the world that was built, especially the stuff about Tauron culture, and my inner cybergeek jumped up and down about New Cap City, so I kept watching.
But the primary reason I was so drawn to Caprica was, or course, Battlestar Galactica. I’ll willingly gobble up every little bit of information I can get about the cylons’ origins. And so my little marathon yesterday on the couch. But if I may be completely honest, I’m not sure that the experience was entirely satisfying – I was left with a ton of questions.
(SPOILERS FOR BOTH CAPRICA AND BSG BELOW THE CUT)
What a treat this morning to roll out of bed and have tea and cake for breakfast while watching the latest Doctor Who Christmas special! Of course we could have sat and watched it last night, but television without ads is the way to go, as far as I’m concerned. And cake for breakfast with the Doctor? Well, really, it doesn’t get much better.
The title of this entry comes from the snippets at the end of the episode that show what’s to come in the season this spring, btw, and I’m stoked! Dr. Song was all over those clips, and I’ve been taken with her since the Library episodes with Donna in season four.
I’ve finally got the pix off the camera, and opened up my Etsy shop – hats with ears and scarves with faces. ‘Cos, you know, cute is fun =)
Mousie!
Hats with ears – one can never have enough ears. A bunny and piggie under the cut.
OMG OMG OMG OMG i’m so EXCITED!
Skipper is coming down in a little while so we can watch Firefly episodes until we both bleed from the eyeballs or we run out of Firefly episodes. The latter is actually is the more likely possibility, considering that a) there’s only one season, and b) we’ve both watched Serenity over and over and over in recent weeks, and still can’t seem to get enough.
