Hello, old friend. I haven’t seen you around here since last summer. Golly, I’ll be glad when I’ve lived here long enough to build up immunities to all the local plagues and pestilences.
Too achy and fevery to sleep, I tossed and turned for an hour then got up to watch tonight’s “House.” Yes, they mentioned sarcoidosis. Yes, you should all have taken a drink when they did it. Hoo hah. I did a shot of Nyquil, then poured one out for all my homies.
Does anybody have a steam cleaner I can borrow?
I liked the part with the kissing, and I liked the part with the hugging for exactly the opposite reason, and I liked the parts with Dave Matthews because I know every minute he was shooting them he wasn’t in the studio recording another album. The post-show promo stuff kinda pissed me off, though. What’s the deal with pimping “nine all-new episodes in a row” as if it’s some kind of treat instead of, you know, how TV shows are supposed to happen. That’s like advertising a book by pointing out that it has new words on every page.
Also: that thing with Starbuck? What the fuck, man. This better be worth it. “Battlestar Galactica” is the only show on TV that’s so dark I turn to a series about a chronically depressed and constantly abusive misanthrope so I can have some light-hearted fun.
Did you know there’s an upper limit to how long a headline on a Movable Type blog can be? There is, and by God, I found it.

Actually, he presented with acute dystonia, worsening seizures with a history of a unspecified “brain injury” at the age of 10 and by the way, he’s an idiot savant who can play the piano really well and this acute dystonia happened in the middle of a concert. They treated it with a stat “GRID” intracerebral EEG monitoring procedure and removal of half of his brain. The legal department, as usual, on House, should be sh*tting their pants.
Sarcoidosis can affect nearly all organ systems, which is why they mention it for EVERYTHING. ;-) Plus it sounds really cool.
Hope you fell better, Jeffy, and you don’t end up intubated.

When they said “sarcoid,” Tom and I immediately looked at each other and said, “Drink!”
(Our BSG prediction? She returns, apparently unharmed, all enlightened ‘n’shit and becomes known as Starbuck the White.)
Hope you feel better.

Funny stuff.
She’ll be back, all enlightened, and there will be about five of her, but all five of them will be on humanity’s side but they’ll always distrust her. Sort of a Cylon Cassandra.
But if she says, “There is no spoon.” just once, I’m gonna hurl.

I don’t know. I don’t keep up with interviews or forums or the like. I just watch the show. There’s always been many layers of spirituality and overt religion to the program. Who says the writers have to do any of these things?
We really don’t know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

“The Muad-dib-buck is aggressive.”
“It is linear.”
“Limited.”
“Dangerous.”
“We should let it pass.”
“The game must continue.”
“It is limited.”
“”The Muad-dib-buck is of Galactica.”
Seriously, who knew that child abuse was really an existential form of a melange booster?
