Mea Culpa etc. about not participating these past months. I was truly incommunicado: first on trips (to Australia and San Diego), then an injuried right hand (too tedious to explain), and some anti-social laziness lately. So I have been lightly lurking the past few weeks. I'm trying to catch up on ficcs and entries I've missed BUT ... its just too much!!! Ergo, I'm granting myself an amnesty for reading and responding (or not reading and responding?), okay folks?
So, what did I miss???????

First, apologies for not being around. I’m not lurking – I really haven’t been around LJ. I’ve been genuiniely busy with RL (planning for two trips this summer) but when I have time to think about BSG – well, I’m not emotionally ready to mourn with everyone out there just yet. So pardon my distance for just a bit longer.
( A pithy thought on the Finale... )
Tonight though I really miss the anticipation for a new episode of BSG. *Sighs* I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I may miss BSG-hiatus-hell. I probably will re-start reading LJ and y’all's thoughts. Be assured I will participate (and not just lurk) – just pardon me if I seem a little bit too late to the conversation yet again!
On second note, I will be on a family vacation from this coming Monday for about 2 weeks. I’m not sure what the internet situation will like be like so I might even be AWOL yet again.
I really DO want to stay connected to the fandom (LUV U ALL!!!!!), but I just needed this mini-break. I plan to start looking at my F-list starting March 21! Yikes that’s many many pages, so if any of you have a particular post you think I should read RFN, please do mention it! I might even clean up my reaction draft and post it if I get some time (or decide to procrastinate from packing).

OY! My brain may be a little broke. I’m trying to not to read anyone else reactions before I post mine own, because if I read others’ perspectives I might censor myself. But this season is my last chance to post MY reactions, so here goes:
( Warning, here be spoilers for BSG 411/413 )
Phew, Now I’m free to read what y’all are thinking.

I love to speculate, and think about it, this moment is the last time we can speculate and imagine and pray for anything. After the last 10 episodes air, that's it.
No more daydreaming, no more 'OMG did they just do that'? Let's not spoil this magic time, ok?
I've usually been spoiler-lite (watching SciFi promos) but after Season 4.0, I no longer even watch those.
That being said, for all those who do not share my credo, I appreciate all those LJ cuts you guys will use as well as any heads-up warnings to stay away from certain sites. Thanks in advance!
But for those who do post spoilers willy-nilly, just an advance-peek in the curse I am currently brewing:
May the wrath of the Lords of Kobol follow you: Dogs will pee on you, cats shall scratch you, and rats will invade your home. May angry Head!Six haunt you, Adama glare at you, Roslin airlock you, Starbuck smack you, and Tigh serve you tea.

I never thought I'd see the day when I would say, "I'm rooting for the Beauty Queens on the Amazing Race." (Wha..? But you think BQs are flotation devices...) That's Amazing Race ASIA of course (available on AXN in the Philippines). They're the only likable team that has a chance to win. And I'm pretty sure THESE BQ aren't floatable.
This year the ARA teams seem chosen so that not one team is grossly more athletic than the others (no all-male extreme sports team here like last year). In fact the three all-male teams all could use more gym time. Strangely there's only one couple "dating" among three co-eds teams (cousins & siblings); hopefully this couple will be WAY less dysfunctional than last year's squabbling marrieds.
I also expect more meltdowns from this cast: There's a self-proclaimed "Heiress" and her actress friend; there's Mai*, who claims her "parents brought her up as a Little Princess" and she CHOSE her partner because HE can carry her bag AND be strong, not like her, cuz y'know "I'm a girl"; there's one Fazzie (or was that A.D.) who argues that lazier people can complete the tasks faster; and finally there is an only son, 'who is the sole recipient of my entire family's affection'. SNERK!!! Let the WHINING begin!!!
*Mai and Oliver were first to finish yet still managed to have a blow up after receiving a cash prize: Oliver complained that he did all the work (possible true), so Mai got all defensive and potty-mouth at him ALL THE WHILE FANNING HERSELF! (oye suplada!)

I wanted to post about my experience at Comic-Con San Diego, but I'm getting the flu so it might take me awhile. Yes I did go to the BSG Panel (of course) and I hope to write up my impressions and report what happened there. Right now I've re-learning how to upload and post pictures.

Strangely enough I was thinking of getting a dog and had narrowed down the choices to Whippet (is introverted like me) and Belgian Malois (sp? a friend has puppies). So I guess I better add Jack Russell to the list.
Now the site says describes the dog as "The Artist" which,

So put your iTunes on shuffle, play a new randomly selected song for each new question, and write down the title as your answer. You can include lyrics from the song if you like.
A disclaimer, my iTunes is filled with Lectures, Audiobooks, Classical Music, Soundtracks, and very little popular music with actual lyrics. So this could have been interesting, instead it's just confusing...
So, I know my iTunes secretly hates me…
