You know you’ve been watching too much Battlestar Galactica when
29Nov2007 Filed under: Geek Out… You wake up from a dream about being on a planet with a sun that’s about to go out, and you think to yourself “OMG, if the sun went out here on Earth, we’d have nowhere to go!” and it actually keeps you up for a while.
(I fell back asleep and the dream went on. A couple dream-hours later, my friend Vishal told me that now that he knew the sun was burning out and we’d be leaving, he “the whole male/rectangular architecture thing on this planet almost seems quaint.” Almost.)

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

At least you first reaction when you woke up wasn’t trying to find the Eye of Jupiter

When you run around yelling “frak” at people, you really have hit rock bottom. This assumes rock bottom is loving a terribly nerdy and cerebral television series.

joriel sincerely uses “frak” as a curse word and it delights me - but then, every little nerdy thing she does is magic.
as your BSG dealer, i must ask: have you seen the final episode, and if so, whadja think?

ALSO: i must agree with your anxiety - it’s dangerous having all our eggs in one basket, as it were. one wily asteroid, superflu or torrential solar flare, and poof! there goes the human race. everything we ever did would end with the current generation - all the van goghs, jokes, kitties, gone - our last echoes fading forever across the universe in the form of leaking broadcast radio and TV signals (at least until the point where we go digital with both). the rest is silence.
so! becoming a spacefaring race is our destiny; anything else is an evolutionary dead end. well, assuming we all don’t transform into beings of light in 2012, that is…

Haha, I totally agree with Lu’s comment - when you start looking for the Eye of Jupiter you know you’ve lost it. Either that or you’re a frakkin toaster
