Here comes the sun... Dawn's breaking, and I'm wide awake. I got a missing call at about 3am this morning, and haven't been back to bed yet. I'll take a little nap midday to catch up.

I wonder how much Santa got paid to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. pretty good gig, ride on a car, wave and take home a paycheck. Is he the same Santa's helper that works at the Macy's store and gets all the little kids to sit in his lap for pictures?

I've discovered the spiffy-keeness of the file sharing system known as DC++. I'm *really* impressed with the stuff that's out there, far better than kazaa or winmx. I've found pdf files, video and whackadoo music that I've never been able to locate otherwise.

I don't think that I'll be too keen on the new Battlestar Galactica. I don't mind the gender change of Starbuck and Boomer, though I find it to be wacky, and even a little typical of the current genre... but also a "Cylon" character that's played by Victoria's Secret model named "Number Six" that likes to straddle and hump Baltar or whoever... eh. I'll look into it if someone that I trust sees it and tells me "You've got to see it!" SciFi hasn't done a lot of solid work in my opinion.. but a few gems have shined out here and there. I actually liked the version of Dune that they put together. As a kid I liked BG ok, but to be honest, it wasn't a great show to start with, in my opinion. The episodes hold a lot more childhood nostalgia for me rather than great storytelling.

Time traveling monkey ninjas, and Michael Dorn as Rufus 3000. Now there's a show.The Kim Possible Movie was very keen. Nicely Done, Disney. (And Ron's lines are perfect miniMAX commentary.) I look forward to grabbing it off the net. (though I've grabbed it with the vcr... handy-dandy back-to back runs made it easy to preview, and then record.

“A Sitch in Time” (tentative title). In the comedic adventure, the team of Kim Possible/Ron Stoppable is possibly stopped forever when Ron's family relocates to Norway. Then things go from bad to worse when relentless villains Drakken, Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan team to steal the Tempus Simia, a monkey-shaped time portal stone. Before long, a Naked Mole-Rat messenger from the future warns Kim of a supreme evil in his time so she must first go back in time to thwart it. Once she's in the past, Kim's opponents strike when she's at her most vulnerable -- pre-K and pre-teen. Then Kim and Ron fast-forward to a time where Shego rules the world and green is the new black in a place called Shegoton. There they must team with their now grown friends to destroy the Tempus Simia and restore the space-time continuum. Site Meter

I'll give another resounding vote with yours about the Sci Fi Channel. For the most part, I think they're batting a pretty low score. About the only stand outs are Invisible Man, Farscape and whenever they'll play Babylon 5 or American Gothic. I wasn't terribly enamored of the Dune series they tossed out. I thought it sucked something mighty, but I'm horribly picky, what can I say. Some books are just not meant for movies shorter than 20 hours in length.

As for Battlestar Galactica, while I enjoyed the old series well enough as a kid, you're right, it is cheesy, though not near as bad as Buck Rogers. I'll give their show a whirl, but I'm expecting the worst.

I think children of dune was fairly well done, like you say.. within the confines of the time alotted. Sure, it'd be a *lot* better if they could give it the ol' stretch, but for what it was, I think it worked.

Don't get me started on Riverworld, though... totally breaks the spirit and theme of the books.

Buck rogers was fun, too... but I've found that episodes after they added "Hawk and Cryton" are nigh unwatchable.

*twitches* You had to mention the Riverworld abomination... just when the nightmares stopped... *shudder* I pretty much think any episode with Twiggy is unwatchable, but yes, the ones with Hawk, that season is beyond bad. Wilma though, ahh, such memories of a boy as he was growing up. ;)

oh, sure... Erin Gray is *still* a hottie, for that matter.

She's currently in Indianapolis (or at least was earlier this week) on stage for the play The Graduate. By all accounts, she steals the show.

I think it might have alot to do with the sheer volume of prepoubescent boys trying to get a glimpse of her to fulfill their younger fantasies.

That and it's a good play.

oh, lordy... she's playing mrs robinson?

Well, that adds some believeability to the role.

That she is, and is none too bashful by her lack of dress. Critics have given her performance, and that of the rest of the cast for that matter, good reviews.

are you sure it's erin gray, and not *linda* gray, the gal from the Dallas tv show?

I went to the website for the theater, and my mistake, you are correct, it is Linda Gray. I must have misheard when I heard the add last week. Sorry about that.

Hrm, that doesn't hold half the appeal now.

Yeah, I hit her official website searching for current images of the graduate - http://www.lindagray.com/

I also found this...

Eww... "Would you like me to seduce you...?" Uh, no. Thanks.

Cool pic of Glenn Ford wailing on Erin. She should rbeak out her Buck Rogers pistol and shoot him. Probably not in the script though. Definetely not a Lifetime movie of the week.

Ol' Glenn looks like he's really enjoying it. I'd settle for Erin just hick-kicking him.

I'd buy the video.

the commercials for the new bg are making me less and less enthusiastic. it would have been better if they would've been different characters a few hundred years in the future or something. that would explain the dif. in the cylons and why there are 2. the human ones remind me of screamers. i was kinda hoping you'd watch and tell me it was good dagumit!

aw i missed the kp movie.
