Cold Toes

[annundriel]

So I started season two of BSG. I've now seen the first two eps. It's all good. I love Tigh. I love Tyrol. I love Helo. Just lots of love all around. Except.

Except...Well. I can't take this crap! I am having serious trouble watching every scene with Billy because I *know* where he's going to end up. It's painful, damn it.

Stayed up until two this morning to finish reading Michael Crichton's State of Fear, which I rather enjoyed. Some parts were a little laden with preachy environmental information, but all-in-all it was an enjoyable, interesting read. I always forget how much I end up liking his characters. This book makes me more scared of people who are ignorant and don't realize it. Not quite as good as his last book, Prey, I thought. I recommend Prey. It freaked me out then and it freaks me out now. That nanotechnology is kind of freaky. Cool, but freaky. Just because we can do it doesn't mean we should.

I don't care what people at work say. I love Amazon.com. It is a lifesaver for people growing up in the middle of nowhere.

Now back to my Philosophy paper. Woo. Hoo.

Oh Billy :(((((

How goes the Ethics paper?

BILLY. Every scene, even if he's kind of inept, makes me love him more. And this is just a bad, bad thing. I kind of feel like when Archie died.

Friggin' bastards.

Ethics is meh. I have a page written. I'm worried I'm being too vague. How about yours?

Billy don't be a hero. Sadness.

I haven't typed anything up yet, but I have a bunch of stuff hand written and I need to formulate it into one big paper. Once I find the ambition to sit down and write it, I'll be good to go.

That's my problem - no ambition.

Yeah. Now that I'm sitting in front of my computer, I think I'm ready to produce something, but I make no guarantees that it'll be good. haha

The interesting side note to this assignment: I sat down and made a timeline starting from graduation at 2006 so I could at least get an idea about what I wanted to divulge in the paper. I had a lot of fun with it, but then it turned into, "Must write short story about this"... so currently I'm writing a short story about my ultimate dream, 'esept it's with completely different characters.

See, I don't really have a timeline, because I myself am really unsure about certain things I may or may not want. So instead of going that route, I chose a goal (professional/published writer) and am looking at how I overcame certain obstacles keeping me from flourishing, etc.

I have no idea if this is what he's looking for, but it's what I have.

Isn't it fun when class assignments plant ideas for other things? I love it when that happens.

I did some research on the four items just to make sure I knew what to include into my life, or at least, what to include in the conversation my main character has with her granddaughter. I'm taking, yet again, a creative route with this paper and I'm hoping it's what he wants or it's acceptable, but at this point I don't want to email him and ask him 'cause I don't want to risk a possible lecture for 'waiting so long' to do my paper. Not that he would do something like that, but I like to pretend I do everything in a timely fashion without kinks - it keeps teachers off my back haha

I'm not really doing anything creative, which I hope is okay. It's more of a stream-of-conciousness this-is-how-I-got-here kind of thing. I could be more creative, and things might change by the time I'm finished, but I really can't find it in myself too care a whole lot. Which is bad, but what are you going to do?

I'm sure your creativity will be acceptable. He seems to want us to really have fun with it. Just as long as Aristotle's ethics are fairly easy to see.

(Also - your icon made me laugh.)
