Well, since I wrote about it yesterday<\/a>, it\u2019s time for a trip report. <\/span>Mainly because I\u2019m waiting on my friend Lonnie who called an hour ago and gave me some weak excuse about being late. <\/span>The plan was for him to arrive at noon with lots of vodka, and then we\u2019d sit out on the balcony in 50 degree weather, wearing shorts and no shirts, and talk about dead people and how much we miss them. <\/span>Which always segues into conversations about people who should be dead but aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, I crawled out of bed. <\/span>I was going to photograph myself all bloggy-style and stuff, but decided that it was a little bit gay. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then I stumbled into the kitchen and started my ritualistic Cinnamon Roll breakfast<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They do not bake in \u201cunder 10 minutes,\u201d by the way. <\/span>Maybe if you\u2019re baking them in a blast furnace.<\/p>\n

Those, along with good coffee, led me into the computer room\/office\/TV room (everything happens on the same screen) and I put in the two-part finale from Battlestar Galactica’s<\/em> third season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The third season ended so long ago, it almost feels like going back to watch the original series from the 70\u2019s. <\/span>Except I can tell the difference because the new series is all pretty and, you know, somebody actually wrote a script for each episode.<\/p>\n

After that, I watched the spectacular season four premiere from last night. <\/span>We\u2019ll not talk about my feelings for James Callis, because I find them awkward. <\/span>And now he has a harem! <\/span><\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m waiting for stupid Lonnie. <\/span>Because he\u2019s dragging his heels, and also dragging me out deeper into the suburbs to watch a stage play tonight, and because my weekend job has me showing up at 8am tomorrow morning, I\u2019m going to be mean and post a shot that best captures my dear friend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve seen that, you should also see Women\u2019s Studies<\/a>. <\/span>Well, it\u2019s not out yet, but it\u2019s coming\u2026and it\u2019s hot. <\/span>So go read his blog, and think about scantily clad girls being all lesbo with each other and slaughtering people. <\/span>I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
