geektastics.

It is an all-out war in my house right now. A war between packing, writing, cleaning/laundry, reading, basic elements of survival (i.e. survival)* and GEEKtastics.
(*at first, I was going to put "i.e. eating" here, but "survival (i.e. survival)" cracked me up, and totally fits the theme, anyway.)

Geektastics: similar to gymnastics, in that one accomplishes harrowing feats of prowess not manageable by just anyone... only, in this version, it's the atrophied, costumed step-cousin of gymnastics. And all of the harrowing feats happen in your imagination (where else?).

Every once in a while, I ponder, in complete love and with no regret, "Where would I be if I hadn't married this particular person?" Well, surely not anywhere that I'd want to be more than right here, on this couch, snuggling with my blond, scruffly-headed husband, and TOTALLY GEEKING OUT to:


OH MY PANTS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
I have to admit, when I first saw this on The Office:


I doubted I'd ever watch. I mean, it was a Dwight joke. Then again, Dwight was all about LOST, too, and gracious knows how I devoured that one. So, here it is, world. My husband and I are currently drooling over a Sci Fi show (well, I'm drooling; he's far less dramatic), in wedded, nerdy bliss. Witness an exchange from earlier today:

Husby: I'm coming home early!
Me: Yay! Why?
Husby: I'm exhausted and I wasn't getting anything done, anyway. I need to take a nap.

**three episodes and no naps later**

Husby: Little did you know, I actually came home to watch Battlestar Galactica.
Me: *so proud*

Afterthought: We still need to pack, though.


(So much for my "less Netflix" goal.)

  2. Okay, I have NO idea what Battlestar Galactica is about, but here's what I gather:

    Red dress Woman: Look guys! I found this sexy dress for $10 on the clearance rack at Target!

    Angry Pointing Woman: You filthy liar! You got that out of my closet! Filthy, filthy lies!!

    Couple in matching sports bras: (Her) Why Brett, you're looking very makey-outy today. (Him) Agreed.

    Knifey: I thought *I* was looking makey-outy today. Now I only have my knife to keep me warm.

    Other Couple in Matching Jumpsuits: (Her) Don't make out with me yet. I want to watch the smackdown. (Him) Let's go to Target. Or to Angry Pointer's closet. Either or.

    Thoughtful Older Man to the Right: Thoughtful Younger Man has officially stolen! My! Pose!

    Brunette by Angry Pointer: You do the pose so much better, Thoughtful Older Man. The glasses really bring it home.

    Oldest, Bald Guy: I invented that pose, son. Take a seat.

    Surprised Guy: Taaaaaarrrrrggggeeettttttt!!!!

    So, am I close? Because that sounds like a show I could really, really get behind :)

    Netflix was the bane of my existence when I was trying to pack! Or rather, the fact that I couldn't just park and watch every awesome show ever made was the bane of my existence. Yay for geeking out with husbys!
