So many things to occupy time, so little time for them to occupy.

I was reminded recently by *someone* that I barely post here at all. Now, since, it seems, more people are visiting, I guess I need to shape up and post something regularly. And since Battlestar Galactica is on the dreaded pre-finale 6-9 month hiatus, I’ll have to find other things to waste the precious few hours of leisure at my disposal any given week.

Here’s an interesting interview I came across with author Salman Rushdie

For the other geeks among us, you might find PC World’s list of the Top 50 Tech Visionaries inspiring.

Here, you can listen to an audio version of a Q&A between Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell and Ann Hathaway (listen to the audio online by clicking on the link in the middle there).

Lastly, but definitely not leastly, here’s a tribute to the funniest guy who ever lived who died this past weekend, George Carlin. The world was funnier with ya, George, we’ll miss your sick, twisted, brilliant brain. Here he is, in his own words…

Which Battlestar Galactica Cylon Are You?

Battlestar Galactica @ BuddyTV.

A cute little guide to convince your new gf/bf/bff that Battlestar is sooo not freaking Star Trek.

Frito-Lay’s new Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos, which are the “official sponsor” of The Colbert Report’s coverage of the presidential primaries, have earned praise from PETA…

The Fourth and Final season of the best show on TV, Battlestar Galactica begins on 04/04/08. If you haven’t seen seasons one, two (and 2.5), three and the Razor movie yet, I have just one thing to say: What the frak are you waiting for??!

Confused? Did you follow along the “brawl” storyline? Here’s your chance to catch up:

“Since we began negotiations in July, we’ve been saying, ‘If they get paid, we get paid.’ This contract makes that a reality. It’s the best deal this Guild has bargained for in 30 years after the most successful strike this Guild has waged in 35 years. It was arguably the most successful strike in the American labor movement in a decade, clearly the most important of this young century. It is not all that we hoped for, and not all that we deserved. But as I told our members, this strike was about the future, and this deal assures for us and for future generations of writers a share in the future…”

This is from Nikki Finke’s blog that has been a constant source of strike news and updates.

The show-runners (writers/producers) return to work on Monday, the show writers are to return on Wednesday after a membership vote on the terms of the deal. This is great! This means The Office, and Dexter and Battlestar Galactica and everyone else will be back in action soon! Yay!
