misscam | Mah birthday, new layout, thoughts on BSG episode, some news

It's my birthday :) Thank you to all who sent best wishes and congratulated me, it is much appreciated. I got cake and card at work yesterday too. And gifts! Among other things, I got the most lovely new scarf, which is good because I'd just about worn out my old. I like scarves. Must have in winter here.

I also got new layout from the lovely

adoraheatherly -

misscam if you want to check it out. It's Adama/Roslin, which is no surprise at all. I likes the shiny!

There was BSG episode!

I found this episode slightly meh, as the Ellen/Tigh/Caprica didn't click with me. Not the fault of the actors - particulary Hogan was awesome. Some thoughts:

- Saul/Bill is such a platonic OTP even Ellen recognises it. And the hugging at the end and the 'Liam'? Killed me, that did. If Bill doesn't get to keep both Saul and Laura I shall be very sad for him.
- Chief recognises Boomer and plays it really hotly. Not sure I was ever on the Tyrol/Boomer train, but I could be convinced to take a seat. Though smooth sailing, I don't think it shall be.
- Kara in a bar with a piano and Bear McCreary, total set-up for next week's episode. Which I am very curious about.
- Cylons do have disturbingly incestous relationships at times. Also, hai there table!sex! Saul and Ellen. Well, well, well. BSG sure is the show where not just the young 'uns get it on.
- Ellen and Saul do bring out the worst in each other at times, it seems. Last episode, Ellen was much more collected - this was more like season one again. Given what she's been through, it's understandable she's none too pleased about things, but I worry about the consequences of this.
- Caprica Six losing the baby made me wonder if it's a set-up for her taking Hera. Hmmm.
- Arming Baltar's group? THAT CAN NEVER END WELL. And how much of Baltar's desire to help is genuine desire and how much is his ego thinking he should be savior of all, I wonder.
- Hot Dog must be in good graces again, and had the funniest line of the episode. (Though Adama is a good contender with his project in the head.)
- Laura and Caprica's conversation, so awkward. But brings up the Opera House visions again, which still needs explaining. And Laura and Lee really haven't been used much in these two last episodes. This is cruel to me and Saz. She wants her eyecandy, I want some kickass President and more of the relationship she and Bill are clearly having, please.
- Oh Bill, all that drinking cannot be good for you, and I think your girlfriend is thinking the same.
- Saul's line about humans and Cylons not being strong enough on their own and the comments about blending throughout the episode made me wonder if this is really one of the points of the show. Hmm. I've been thinking about what BSG's 'point' is after some of the comments made by the writer and the cast and I change my mind often.
- Mah OTP holds hands in public. I find this utterly adorable.

I can't believe there's so few episodes left now. My show :(

The shortlist for this year's oddest book title has been released. Pick your favourite! Last year's winner was apparently If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs. Yeah.

Norway's population has passed 4.8 million. Watch us snail towards that 5 million mark, in proper Norwegian slow fashion.

A Smash-Me Bernie toy of Bernard Madoff, the financer accused of a 50 billion dollar fraud is a surprise hit. Hee. Well, at least someone is making money there and hammering a toy can be theraputic.

And while I wrote this up, it continued to snow - and snowed so much the pine tree next to my window just had a huge branch snap off from the weight of the snow and fall down. Oi. Yeah, we have a lot of snow at the moment.

How's your weekend, babes?
