The reason I am addicted to "Battlestar Galactica."

There are several reasons why I am addicted to one of the best science fiction shows that I've seen in a long time, a very long time indeed. Not only is the acting incredible, but so is the writing. The writers of this show put so much effort and thought into these characters that I often get confused and frustrated just trying to follow the many story threads they bring up, play with, close up, and open all over again.Nick and I are currently with our dear friends, Katie and Jesse, at their house, watching Battlestar Galactica.

After saying that, Arizona sounds far more exotic than Virginia.Now that live in Iowa, I have to deal with house centipedes.Apparently, they are not harmful to humans, and even if their mandibles are strong...

The time I realized I wasn't writing.

So I have not written in a very long time. And for that, I probably should apologize to you all for failing to provide interesting updates in relation to my life. However, the person I should really be apologizing to is myself.I tried to write on this blog every day when I started that, and unfortunately that only lasted two weeks. There were reasons for not writing after those two weeks, such as my best friends' wedding week where I was involved in helping prepare the wedding as a bridesmaid, but now that not much has happened in my life other than starting my job and getting used to that schedule, I have no excuse for...
