Hee! What an awesome idea! I think that's an apt description of finally finishing an epic uni course and dealing with a lot of stuff anyway!
I'll keep my radio on in case of any transmissions. ;)
(In ongoing Battlestar Redactica news I actually finally printed the damn covers and got them in the cases and stuff, so they are actually ready to post now, which I will probably do after new year when I know the post will be back to normal.)
Hi there! Just wanted to tell you HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance, since I don't know whether I'll be online tomorrow. Can't wait to have you back on LJ more regularly. *hugs*
Sadly, no such thing could be said while remaining truthful. However, that shouldn't serve me as an excuse for another year of antisocial behaviour.
Can't wait to get my fingers on BSR - though I should probably at least catch up partway with BSG before I watch it.
BTW, I watched another of your BSG rap videos, a while ago (the latest, I think? Roslin vs. Baltar or something? I need to download and rewatch; I watched it somewhere online) and it was awesome. You are *brilliant*, woman.
Eh, none of us is ever finished dealing with everything. You're doing fine, dude. :) Sometimes it's rough and you need space, but I'm overjoyed to have you around for as long as you're here.
I'll let you know when I send BSR. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! As to catching up with BSG, while it would make for an interesting compare/contrast, you don't actually technically need to catch up with it to watch BSR since it starts right after the last episode we watched together when I made you watch all of Season 4.0 when you came to stay with me last time just before I went to South Korea. So the last episode we watched together was 4x10, and the first episode on the BSR DVDs is 4x11 (which along with 4x15 was not edited in any way by me, but they're still on the DVDs).
Ahem. So yeah, if you want to understand what I changed, you'll need to watch, but in some ways I'd also be really interested to see what you made of it "cold" (although I know I told you a lot of stuff about the insanity that happened, which you may or may not recall!) I'd warn that it has a very...weird and open-ended ending, but other than that, I think it hangs together pretty well. Also the cvm_productions website has a list of what I changed from canon as well as some more explanation of what the hell the ending even means if you're totally confused.
And I'm through talking about my insane fan-project baby now, honest! :p
Yup, the Laura vs Baltar vid is the latest BSG rap vid so I think you've seen all of them now? It's also very, very much about my HATRED of the ending, so I don't know how clear it would have been, but HOORAY that you liked it anyway! And thanks for letting me know!
As for me coming over to Frankfurt, all my plans were cancelled when the people we were supposed to meet there came to Italy instead, so I lost my chance to come to Germany. *insert assorted grumbles here*
Anyway, we'll have to come over sooner or later, because we have a few new projects in the works that we need to discuss with the people in Langen. So, fingers crossed I can visit you sooner rather than later. I'll keep you posted on any updates, although my plans can often change within short notice. :(
Oh, okay. Sorry, after a decade on the net I sometimes get a bit confused about people... Preventing other people who may know me from years ago from becoming just as confused is the main reason I'm still using the same nick I delurked with, all those years ago. *g*
who are you, then, if you're not who I thought you were? ;-) I.e., how did you end up reading my LJ? Forgive me if we've had a conversation somewhere that I forgot about - the last two years were... strange.
I think we've had *exactly* this conversation (minus the references to the vid) somewhere before. I must be getting old. *g*
And I always love your BSG rap vids - I may not get every facet of meaning, but I simply like the odd combination... and I enjoy all the clever little moments that I *do* get. And your editing is just always marvellous.
(I am so frustrated that I don't have the right mental frame for writing at the moment... grrr...)
Oh, oddly enough, tonight I finished playing a computer game in which the main character turned out to be a little boy in a coma, whose father had been reading him the story of the game at his bedside. It ended with him going back to the real world, which filled with me quite some satisfaction. *snerk*
But it also gave me a nasty bunny: what if Ruth had inadvertently fostered Sam's coma dream, thus indirectly causing his death? No, I'm not going to write that one, it's too nasty.

You certainly have the right userpic for it. ;-)

Ha, I wish I could say I've *finished* dealing with stuff!

Nah, couldn't see much except the boring backside of the boring planet.

It's a German review, but it made me think of you for at *least* two reasons. Go read it; it's short. ;-)
