I know, it’s been a thousand years since I’ve blogged. I’ve been rather busy. I promise to be more diligent in the future…

I did a lot of traveling last year–LA, Waikiki Beach, Catalina Island and Ensenada–which is something I probably should write about. And I will…a little now, more later and some photos. I’ve been so busy I haven’t even downloaded the photos from my camera! With the recession going on I won’t be travelling much this year. I am going to ComicCon (finally!) so I’ll be writing about that.

On another note, I’ve gone back to school to get my Master’s degree. I think that’s why I have the writing bug again. I’m strangely more productive now that I have a goal and purpose for my future. Funny how that works.

I went through a period of time where I didn’t want to do much of anything which culminated in copious amounts of TV watching. This in turn led to a mild depression due to the impending doom of the end of [1] Battlestar Galactica.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Now that the end has come and gone I can say that I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the last episode–and maybe the ones that led up to the end too. I don’t like the fact that Anders sat in a tub for the last few episodes, though I have admit that him becoming like a hybrid was clever. I just love that character so much, and Michael Trucco who plays him, I hated having him take a back seat. Also, a few of the last episodes felt like filler and didn’t have the substance I was yearning for with the end being nigh. Also, Starbuck fading away was sort of weird. I get the whole “angel” angle but the whole *poof* she’s gone thing was odd.

I do have to say the final battle between the “bad” Cylons and the Colonials, assisted by the “good” Cylons, was awesome! Well worth the wait there. It was also nice that they found our Earth and that it wasn’t 1980. I didn’t agree with everyone splitting up but I know what Moore and company were trying to say–we’re all descendants of the Colonists and Cylons, can’t we all just get along and stop perpetuating our destructive cycle? Soapboxy but intriguing.

*END SPOILER ALERT*

On a final note, I saw “[2] Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D” yesterday and I really enjoyed it. It’s well worth watching in 3D–the effects were spectacular. Take your family, or just yourself, and go see it. I hadn’t laughed that hard in a while.
