Livin it One Day at A Time

Just recieved this in my inbox.

Hey Chris,

Being an uber-geek, I’m sure you’ve seen this.

I’m just double checking.

I expect you to make one of these PRONTO.

Thanks,

I pointed out that I’ve already got Plans with the stargate playfield I bought, but alas, it has no lights.

Chris,

The pinball coffee table needs to light up. Everyone knows this.

Dang it, well, add this to the project list (I already have my co-worker willing to help me make the actual table, WOOO!)

Thanks to Darkhorizons I have some spoilers for the rest of the season of Battlestar Galactica (Probably the best TV show on the planet). If you want to read the spoilers, Just click the link below.

In an in-depth interview with “Battlestar Galactica” producer Ron Moore, The Chicago Tribune uncovered some major details (AND SPOIILERS!!!!) about the upcoming remainder of the second season which will air its thirteenth episode this coming Friday.

“Epiphanies”
“Laura’s health comes to a crisis point in the next episode [after the 'Resurrection Ship' two-parter]. It opens on her being rushed into sick bay. Her time is almost up and Doc Cottle says she’s not going to make it. This gave us the chance to do some flashbacks to Caprica before the attacks. We see the president she worked for and there are some surprising revelations about their relationship. We see where she gets some of her philosophy of governing. As the fleet prepares for [vice president] Baltar to take over, he’s actually the one who figures out a way to save Laura’s life, at the last moment. It comes from his study of Sharon’s unborn child, that provides the key to curing Laura’s cancer.”

“Scar”
We do an episode that’s really about fighter combat. [Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace figures prominently]. There’s a Cylon raider that keeps coming, just keeps coming. He kills a bunch of pilots. It’s their dark shark in the water, he keeps coming to get people.”

“There’s an episode where a bunch of people take hostages in a bar, and they demand that Adama [get rid of] Sharon. They feel like there shouldn’t be any Cylons alive in the fleet. And they’ll kill a bunch of hostages to get her.”

“There’s an episode where Lee has to deal with the new commander of the Pegasus [This person is not the second-in-command whom we met during "Resurrection Ship" episodes]. It turns out the guy who had been in charge was deep into the black market. Another guy is put in charge, he’s a bit paranoid. And he’s really not up to the task of command. The Pegasus continues to be a troubled ship for the rest of the season.”

“There’s an episode down the line that we’re really excited about, the entire episode is told from the Cylon point of view: what their society is like, what they go through during reincarnation and when they’re born again. We really get inside the Cylon [society] and get to view that for the first time.

“There’s a two-part season finale. We throw some real curveballs. There are some pretty major changes in how we do business. It’s really going to catch people off guard.”

Like I said, best show on the planet

Nuff said.

I’ve changed the name of the blog, after a long long time.

I think it fits because, well, those of you who know me know that I’m attracted to blinking lights. I could have easily been a carnie. Alas, I have too many teeth to be a carnie.

I’ve got so many projects that instead of a car engine in my front yard, I’d have a pinball machine in the front yard.

And lets not forget my strange allegiance towards HR Puf-N-Stuff, and all things pop culturr-ie (yes, that’s a word, I swear).

On a side note, the blog is not working well at the moment, all the old posts are *way* down the page.

This reminds me a bit of Christmas. One of the reasons I wasn’t blogging was because of all the sickness..

Of course, I wasn’t that wussy.

Oh, and there was no big monster to help me.

Or soup.

But there was the GF.

As I’m growing older I find that I just get that much more behind. As my little brother said in the comments “Great, another project to go with all your other projects” (paraphrased).

I have a lot of projects. Sometimes I wish I could just go on sabatical, and catch up with everything, but the way the world is I have to get to an age where I am decrepit enough that I can’t do half of what I want to do anymore.

Oh wait. I think I’ve already hit that age.

More and more I just find myself playing catch up. Prioritizing what needs to be done, and “what matters most”. This tends to make me a hermit, since I put socializing down at the bottom-o-the-barrel.

You may ask, where are the funny posts? They are still around, on my list-o-lists. It’s just that I am so busy trying to catch up, I don’t get to them. My wierd obsession with Roxette (the 80s band), My exessively nerdy actions, my love of pinball machines those posts will make their way back.

As more people find the blog, I find myself “Self Editing” the content. I’m trying to do less of that.

Bottom line. Stick with me, I’ll mix it up again.

P.S. Family, Friends, Blog visitors, and random joe, please let me know what you like about the blog in the comments, so I can know what to write more of. H.R. Puf-n-Stuff? Movie Reviews? Funny Stuff? Pinball Stuff? Random word vomit?

P.S +1 : I also just got pinblog.com up and running again! woo!
