barely fatal

Typing this on my PDA, very s l o w l y. Sitting on my sofa, having a fever and a sore throat, feeling like sh¥t, watching Battlestar Galactica. Meh.

Did some surfing. People either love or hate the show (or don’t care). Haters say they don’t like the shaky camera, that Boomer and Starbuck are female now, the changed story. “Not true to the original.” And they don’t like that so much present day technology is used.

You know what? Go to hell!

The 70ies show was cheesy. What would be the point of just copying the old series 1:1? Go rent it on DVD. This is a re-invention. You can’t innovate without changes. You really want back walking toasters and Dirk Benedict’s golden curls? Rent the … But I repeat myself.

Woah, I really feel miserable. I was looking foward to meet Anne again at work on Monday, her vacation is over. Now I’m not so sure I can make it. She’s probably not so keen coming back – yeah yeah, I’m afraid there’s work waiting for you and for some of that I might be partly resonsible

Crap this sucks, I’m back to sleep.

So I’ve seen The Devil Wears Prada. It’s nice, but it ain’t Zoolander.

Well, last week was my birthday, and besides the obligatory parade and singing by my co-workers – … no no no, we do that on everyone’s birthday, not just mine, no. Good. What I was gonna say was that we got one hundred donuts on Friday – we being four colleagues having our birthdays in July – for the company and I ate too many. Do not eat four donuts in twenty minutes. Just don’t.

Totally out of context, my family came to visit me on Friday as well and they brought some sweet presents. Someone (I know it was my sister) had read my Amazon wish list very carefully this time. Amongst other things they got me Battlestar Galactica, Season 2! You can’t rent it here and it hasn’t been on TV yet, and I always wanted it. So far I’m loving it. I need to get the third season when it comes out, too; you can import the UK release but it’s so expensive! So I’ll rather wait for the localization, though I’ll watch the original language version anyway.

Got chocolate cake, too! Nothing beats chocolate cake, not even donuts. Oh nos, don’t remind me of those …

Edit:
Small correction. The UK version of series 3 will be released on September 3rd.

 Just got back from seeing it…

 And no. No spoilers given

 Great movie, highly recommended.
