A New Day, A New Format, A Special Way of Being Afraid

This looks much better.

I was asked today by a British coworker if I'm a "closet Trekkie type" when I mentioned I had bought the Season 1 Battlestar Galactica DVDs. I knew that would happen! That's why I felt shame when I made the purchase! It's not really sci-fi, it's a metaphor for our troubled times! Wait, that pretty much defines the sci-fi genre. Frack.

In any case, I'm learning to live with the TV geek I have become. I am not a Trekkie by any stretch of the imagination, but I appreciate the fine work of Edward James Olmos. Stands With A Fist is also great. I could do without the hallucinatory robot sex.

To make up for the pretentious post heading I will admit that when the title first popped into my mind I thought maybe I was remembering the name of a Shins album.

Um, yeah. One word for you, my friend. And that would be: Fanfic.
