Thank the Gods.

Yesterday I very nearly snapped my neck walking past the men's magazine section at my bookstore. The latest Playboy had been put on display (February 2007) and gracing the cover was none-other than Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer and her gorgeous ass-crack. My jaw dropped. Here was the hottie who plays the sexy Cylon Model Six finally doing what I'd hoped she'd do ever since I first saw her. How did something like this get by me? Jeez. I must be slipping in my old age.

It's not surprizing, though. The second half of Season 3 is about to start and the show needs all the help it can get. Despite it's critical acclaim (it won a Peabody Award in 2006) and strong DVD sales, the show is not doing the numbers the The Sci-Fi Channel was hoping for. Hopefully the move from Friday nights--one of the worst nights for tv--to Sunday nights will help this amazing show boost it's ratings. Still, it's unfortunate that numbers might dictate the fate of this wonderful program. Hopefully Sci-Fi will stand by this show regardless and give creators David Eick and Ron Moore the 5 total seasons they've planned for.

Battlestar Galactica is hands-down my favorite TV show right now. And it doesn't hurt that a sex pot like Helfer is part of the stellar cast.

Oh, and before I forget, click on the thumb for a preview of what's inside. I'd scan and show all the pictures, but I'm afraid Playboy will send someone to kill me.

Yesterday an aquaintance of mine began to press me about how I felt about the current President's new plan reguarding Iraq. I had to admit, I had no idea what the new plan was. At some point I stopped paying attention to it all. The double-talk. The bullshit. The spin-doctoring. Everything I heard began to make less and less sense day in and day out. So for my own sanity's sake, I began to ignore it. Considering that no one's taking this President (or his administration) to task, I figured it'll all be over (fingers crossed) come 2008.

But then someone implies how I threw my vote away and--in the same breath--tells me how the President is going to put another 22000 troops in harm's way. And then he looks at me with baked eyes and smiles an uppity, satisfied smile. A smile that would tell anyone how little he cares for how many people die over there.

So I asked him why it was the right thing to do. The response I got was more of the same shit I stopped listening to months ago. "They declassified so-and-such a report and there really were weapons of mass destruction there." Or "The President has to stick to his guns."

I walked away from him shortly thereafter, disgusted. Letting him know how the war never sat well in my gut and still doesn't (although he assumed I was initally for the war since "everyone" in the country was at the beginning).

I now think that anyone that truly feels that we're doing the right thing in Iraq and claims to stand by President Bush needs to put their money where their mouth is. Enlist in some branch of the Armed Forces and go over there and fight for him. Stand by him. Stick to your guns.

Or just shut the fuck up.

Either choice is a good one from where I'm standing.

The REAL Thing has returned!

Several weeks ago I came across this article which told of a mythic soft-drink long thought extinct (much like the coelacanth) yet being exported by those wonderful folks down in Mexico. And what is this ancient and legendary liquid confection, you ask?

Coca-Cola.

Yeah. That's right. Coca-Cola. And before you get all confused, I'm talking about REAL Coca-Cola.

Seems that sometime in the 1980's The Coca-Cola Bottling Company switched from using cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup in order to save money. Many never noticed the difference. But just as many Coke Nuts (like me) remember a time when Coke tasted, well, different. Sweeter, but not syruppy. Fizzier. Yummier.

But now I don't have to remember. I can experience. And I have for the past 36 hours. Going on an anonymous tip (Psst! Thanks, Karin!!!) I wandered into a tucked-away Mexican Grocer and found the Holy Grail. They had five bottles. "Sugar" listed among the ingredients. I bought them all. I drank them all. Each bottle an orgasm of memory and nostalgia. And fucking delicious.

I recommend any fan of the Coke to find some of these. You'll be glad you did.

However, I'm not giving up the name nor the location of my Mexican Grocer. Find your own!

Fuckers!
