I feel so alive ...

Okay. I'm downloading the SGA caps from Friday's episode. Yay! I can make more fanart! Whee! I'm slightly peeved that every time I try to dl caps of BSG it doesn't work. I mean, I'd love to have good shots of Lee's teeny towel. Because it's pretty. But nooooooo. No almost-naked-Apollo for Kelly. Boo. I think it's all part of some global conspiracy so I can't add too many graphics to my rotating headers. What? It could happen.

Onward. OMG! Cole was so cute today. Wait, there's backstory here. I'd best tell that first. I spent so much money on food today. It was both disgusting and disturbing. Of course by "food" I mean that I went grocery shopping at both Target and Costco (Costco, always a bad idea!) and bought completely frivilous and unneeded things. Unless Halloween colored Oreo cookies are a necessity, which is always a possiblity. Anway. I also bought Cole a Batman Halloween costume. Yes, I admit that I obsessed with Halloween. Seriously obsessed. I'm scared to go to stores that carry Halloween decorations because I WILL BUY EVERYTHING I CAN GET MY HANDS ON. Everything. Although I will admit that the "Magic Broom Closet" and "Witch Candy Company" signs I bought last weekend are totally cool. And they already have a permanent place on my wall. In my defense I had a calendar from 2002 that I couldn't take down because I had nothing to replace it with, which has now been THROWN AWAY! Take that!

You know, this story is kinda making me sound like a dork. I don't think I want to admit to having a 2002 calendar on my wall. Back to the real story ...

So, Cole was totally cute today when he put on the Batman (OMG! I typed "Batmoan" the first time! I think I just thought up another porn title!) costume. It has a fake muscled chest and a cape that attached to the cowl and it's perfectly awesome. He was running around and making the cape sweep out behind him. He's also been playing the Batman Beyond game on XBox and when Batman wants to be sneaky he goes into stealth mode ... Cole kept doing that. He'd kinda crouch down and walk softly. So funny. So very, very funny. Unbeknownst to me, his dad bought him a SW Clone Trooper costume. Now he can choose what he wants to be for Halloween.

Did I ever mention that I have Halloween day off? It's the beginning of my two week vacation. Awesome!

Crap! My caps didn't download. I have to do it again. What's up with that? It's not that difficult to right click, save as. My tiny brain can do at least that much properly.

I was planning on babbling about my Friday night shows today but this is already getting way long. I'll do it tomorrow. Or whenever.
Later.

Huh. I suggested to Alex that he be Batman - Batman Begins this year. He liked that. And the idea of Spiderman. So we'll see - because what he first asked me was to be a Ninja. Again. I am pushing for the superhero costume though.

All I can say is that the costume is so cute. C'mon! Fake muscled chest! Boo-yah!

this isn't as good as the 'let go jack' one, but it's close. raiders of the lost ark.

Continuity: The staff is supposed to be 60 inches tall (6 kadams = 72 inches, minus 1 kadam). The pole that Indy inserts into the hole in the map room towers over his head, indicating (incorrectly) that Indy is less than five feet tall. The laserdisc edition disproves any claim that he's standing on a lower step.

(who knew yoda and han solo were the same size?)

And now it's time for the Most Awesome Thing I Saw on TV Last Week. The most awesome thing I saw on TV last week was an early episode of Little House where a new boy named Johnny Johnson moved to Walnut Grove. He was ugly and had a head like Frankenstein, so I immediately assumed that he was a nephew or illegitimate son of Doc Baker, but he wasn't. He also wore the tightest overalls this side of Studio 54 or some roller boogie movie. Anyway, even though he was super-old, Laura fell in love with him and started plotting to get him to fall in love with her, and for a second I thought it was going to be the episode where Laura puts apples down the front of her dresses to simulate big boobs and then goes up to write on the board and one of the apples falls out, which was awesome, but it wasn't that episode. Instead, Laura just stared at Johnny Johnson like a creepy stalker, but Johnny had the hots for Mary, which makes sense, because Mary was a hottie back in the day, even if she was kind of a prude and no fun besides. So Laura asked Ma how she snared Pa, and Ma spun some bullshit about kindred spirits, and so Laura asked Johnny on a picnic, and he agreed to go, but then spent the whole time pumping Laura for information about Mary. So Laura got pissed at Mary, because it was somehow Mary's fault that Johnny didn't want to date someone like seven years younger than he was who hadn't hit puberty yet. So Johnny carves Mary's initials into the Sweetheart Tree, and Laura gets pissed at Mary yet again, and Mary gets pissed at Johnny because she doesn't even like him, and Pa gets pissed at Johnny for daring to be sweet on one of his girls, and Ma gets pissed at Pa for being such a buffoon, and Carrie pisses herself, because she's kind of slow, and in the end Pa has a gentle talk with Laura down by the creek and spins another bullshit story about how Ma was an awkward little girl who blossomed into a beautiful woman and he fell in love with her when what he should have said was that Laura shouldn't waste her time with boys who just aren't into her, but then we would have never had the Manly saga, so I guess it all worked out in the end. And it was awesome.

Ace reporter D'Anna Biers is offered unrestricted access to the Galactica. Yeah, it's one of those episodes. Through an octagonal lens, Biers captures the usual amount of bickering and angst, and an awful lot of Apollo's skin. Meanwhile, Tigh receives a poetic death threat and, when he tries to attend a conference on the Astral Queen, his Raptor is sabotaged. Ellen frets that Adama is going to sacrifice Tigh to the gods of PR. After giving us a few glimpses of a laid-back Gaeta, and Dualla's parental traumas, Biers tries to ambush Tigh in an interview, but he doesn't fall for it. Well, mostly. Then Kat freaks out while trying to land her Viper. It turns out that she's developed a little stim problem. While chasing Kat's gurney to sickbay, Biers spots Boomer receiving treatment for her own medical emergency. Adama confronts Biers and takes away the tape documenting their pet Cylon -- or at least he tries to, but he falls for the old "switched tape" routine. Baltar's attempt to do an interview that will win the hearts and minds of his people is, luckily for him and us, interrupted by the cheapest space battle ever. Two Raiders approach the Galactica and are quickly shot down by Apollo and Starbuck. While trying to edit her story together, Biers spots A Vital And Convenient Clue just as Tigh is attacked. It turns out that Hammerhead is way bitter about his role in the Gideon massacre, and that's why he's after Tigh. Tigh obligingly presses his head against Hammerhead's gun, and Hammerhead backs down just as Biers turns up with some marines. In the end, Biers puts together a heartwarming piece about what heroes the Galacticans are, and, in lieu of yet another standing ovation, she closes it with the original Battlestar Galactica theme song. Aw. The episode ends with some delighted Cylons watching the show back on Caprica. They're even more delighted to find out that Boomer is alive and on Galactica. Yes, Biers is a Cylon.
