PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Battlestar Babblings

After watching last Friday's episode of Battlestar Galactica I had a couple of thoughts.

Was it me, or was the program a rampant frakin' homage to symbolism? Can we talk about the oedipal overtones of Ellen and John, not to mention Saul and the pregnant 6? OY, the metaphors.


Frankly, I kept waiting for a hail of falling anvils, especially in the final producers' credits.



More importantly, while I can usually buy all kinds of actors in various parts on the show (i.e. "Xena" as the Boxed Deannas), when John Hodgman showed up as the "neuro guy" I yelled at the screen.

I KNEW IT.

It's an advertising conspiracy of the highest order and Eick and Moore are laughing all the way to the bank.

The Cylons are Macs. The real reason why Anders is in a coma is because the PC guy finally got to sabotage the machines.

(It's a good thing this show is almost over. It is seriously messing with my mind.)
