Starbuck is more awesome than you
Cannot say I achieved a lot over the long weekend. I watched Body of Lies with a friend (not bad but Ridley, you've done better), caught up briefly with [info]china_shop and watched a lot of Outrageous Fortune (which I also have to thank China for :p). I am quite addicted. I don't quite know how many eps I watched yesterday but I think it was over ten. *sheepish look*

I am also slowly making my way through S4 BSG. Oh, unhappy fucked up show.

I've been feeling kinda blah in the last week. Lots of little things adding up, I think, and probably a lot of me being hard on myself for no good reason. Hopefully this week will be more productive and well, less blah. (Eloquent, me?) I have a lot more on, which might help.

And I'm only going to say it once but I do wish I'd been more organised and gotten to Armageddon in Auckland. Fail, self. It sounds like those who did had an awesome time. :D Hewlett!

Also, I have seen no comment on my friends list about the latest SGA ep? I haven't acquired it yet. Was it that bad? Has fandom decided to wipe it from its collective memory and pretend it didn't happen?

Typo in your subject line, yo. Unless the funky kids have a new way of saying it that I am unaware of.

Outrageous Fortune! BSG! *random flail* You'll be all caught up by the time new seasons/half-seasons air! They are both super fun exciting shows to be tortured with by only getting to see them once a week.

*facepalm* Indeed. I was tired. Thanks!

Hopefully! I was caught up with BSG and just kinda let it lapse. I tend to mainline it for some reason, but for the last eps ever (eep) I think I'll go week to week.

As for Outrageous Fortune, OMG that's on NZ TV. I won't have to get it by other means. I have trouble remembering the last show I followed week to week that was actually on NZ TV channels. Crazy.

If I think too much about the last eps of BSG ever I almost barf with excitement, so I try not to think about them! I listened to a radio interview with Aaron Douglas this afternoon and that rekindled my spazzing.

Do you know about the movies? Have you seen Razor? They're doing another one, AD was talking about it in the interview.

Hee. Goofy-face Apollo icon! ♥ I love Princess Apollo, except when he's being an ass.

Re: OT, I set an alarm on my phone to beep at me five minutes before it airs. Otherwise I would miss every second episode. It seems that keeping track of shows on proper telly is a skill that you lose if you don't use it often.

I haven't seen Razor and I want to. I've seen the DVD at Aro, so I will have to pick it up at some point soon.

Yeah, I like Lee most of the time, I don't quite know why, it might have more to do with Jamie Bamber than I care to admit, or maybe it's just his interaction with Starbuck.

Hee. That sounds like an excellent idea.

Apollo and Starbuck are just so freakin adorable in seasons one and two. They were my big-time canonical het OTP, for sure.

In season three I started to hate the very sight of them, but that passed. The Quadrangle of Doom was just so... BLECH. Disappointing thing to know: that bit was all Jamie's idea.

He is very pretty, though not my type at all. But I have to confess I still hit rewind when he dropped his towel. *shameface*

Aro have Razor? Cool! I also have a copy if you want to borrow it, but Aro might be more convenient anyway.

SGA was a clip show. I fell asleep during it. :-(

A clip show in the last season? Fail. I understand them wanting to review some good bits, I guess, but new content would be nice in its final season ever.

*adds it to acquire later list*
