I know I've touched on this topic before. This happens to have been my absolute favorite television show until a little more than a week ago. Despite my disappointments, it still remains high on my list. I'm not sure if this says more for my loyalty to science fiction or remains a testament to the poor selection of television shows on the air at the moment. I was devestated at the decision to gack Starbuck. I know there is a great deal of specualation over what will happen to Starbuck's character and even whether or not she is really dead after all. Some people believe that is Ron Moore's idea of the ultimate joke to play on fans.
What I do have to say is this. I was a huge skeptic when I heard that they were remaking Battlestar Galactica for the mini series though part of me was very excited. In an absolute display of sheer geekiness, this was one of my favorite childhood shows and I was afraid the mini series would somehow diminish that but felt compelled to watch because it was a childhood favorite.
This being said I sat in front of my television in sheer and utter shock when I realized that Starbuck in this mini series was female. I automatically hated her because she was female. It took a while for her character to grow on me. Seriously, then I began to love her as the kick ass female that all of us geeky girls wish we could be. She said what she thoght, she drank like a fish (one drink and I'm under the table snoring), and she smoked cigars. She could throw punches with the best of 'em and wasn't afraid to take a few punches of her own. For this reason the new Battlestar Galactica--by the end of the mini series had taken up a new place in my heart just as the new Starbuck had.
I was so excited when I heard that this mini series that had captured my attention and imagination had been turned into a television series that would bear the Battlestar Galactica name. Even more amazing was that the characters we knew and loved (and those we loved to hate) from the mini series would be returning to the show. The series itself has been a little darker and much more character driven than the series of old. I loved the human cylon element and the vulnerability of the characters on the show both human and cylon.
So WHY? WHY? WHY? did he go and kill off Starbuck? Yes I know, many of you have probably not made it this far in my post, but this is my most public way to express myself here and amazingly enough, Mr. Moore surfs the web so he might somehow find this little blog post and comment. He is certainly invited to explain should he deem my little corner on the web worthy. I am one enquiring mind that would truly like to know the why on this.
Oh and one more thing Mr. Moore, should you happen to read this, I love the turn that Lee has taken in the last episode. I can't wait to see the next two episodes and sincerely hope that you will be bringing Starbuck back in some form as she added so much to the show that was so beloved from my childhood.

The Geek Way to Tone Muscles
I know that many of you may find this difficult to believe but sitting behind a computer screen day in and out is hard on your thighs, waistline, hips, and derriere. I know many of you out there are saying 'surely she jests' but it is true. The number of hours I spend writing each day is the number of hours that I am no longer out and about. Until the day when they invent a program that can simply type out my thoughts while I wander around the room I'll have to suffer through this or find a different profession.
I have a sneaky suspcision that I am not the only person in the world who has a job that literally chains them to a desk on a daily basis. For those of you out there like myself there is hope. At least I hope there is hope. There is a bit of the skeptic in me as nothing could really be this easy but wow, what if it really were this easy? To save you the suspense, I am talking about a new gadget (we all know how much I love my gadgets) that is supposed to literally work out your muscles for you. While I would be interested in this particular product for the massage feature alone, I must admist the muscle toning implications are intriguing to someone like myself.
Perhaps it's the same curiosity that got the proverbial cat killed, however, I am really considering adding this nifty device to my personal wish list. It is called the HealthCare Ston-O-Max Turbo Body Toner
and the implications of this product are simply amazing if it lives up to its promise.
I have not however gone off the deep end and completely realize that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. In the meantime a girl can dream about cutting out the workout portion of each day and night by toning her muscles as she goes about the usual tasks of writing away or preparing meals for the family. Even during outside play time I can be getting a workout for my muscles at the price of a one time investment. Yes I know, you all think I've finally gone completely off the deep end. This may be the case but desperate times call for desperate measures. Now, if only they would invent a calorie free, fat free chocolate that actually tasted like chocolate--my world would be complete!
