I am convinced

That I have this learning disability. I only really have problems with flipping numbers around (which happens to me a lot) and the geometry thing (I really liked geometry in HS and I suffered through the other years of math)

Funny how I work in a job that depends on my using of numbers correctly.

Like I said, it's not severe, but it still affects me at some points in life. Mostly because I never realize that I have said/written said number backwards.

But, at least it's sort of a real problem.


Battlestar was amazing. Watching it again makes me realize how far off the path the show got last season and how much fun the first season was. My favorite epsiode, by far, is still '33 Minutes' from season one. Having to jump every 33 minutes...so sweet. I can't wait for this season to unfold. I still don't know if Kara is a Cylon or not. I can't decide. She must be though and here's my reason -- she was the only one not on the ship for those 2 months. So, when the Cylons triggered the remaining 5 cylon types, only 4 appeared. If it was someone else, we would know who all five were already. Make sense?


I also have had the immense pleasure of discovering the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice on WE Tv or Oxygen or one of those girlie channels and promptly went out and bought the DVD. I am convinced that in one of my past lives, I was living in England during this time frame. I just love it. I wish it was easier for me to read Jane Austen's books. I have just a hard time following her style of writing, however well it translates onto the big screen.

Nothing much new to report. We're planning a trip to STL soon (in May). It's been close to a year, so it's probably time to make a trip again.

Work has calmed down a lot. We have help (a 4th person again) and one of the other women has taken back all of her work that was weighing her down a bit. And I'm am thrilled, because I'm generally done with my work by 12 or 1pm now, which means that I have time to catch up on other things now.

I think that we should probably arrange a viewing of BSG this season in a group. For those of us who watch. :)

Okay - here's the Hertel's take. After discussing your very valid point about Kara being a Cylon, we've decided that that's what they WANT us to think, but it would be too easy. If she is a cylon, wouldn't they have found that out when they experimented on her? We're wondering about the babies - now the Chief and Callie's baby is half Cylon too. Which baby is in the Cylon's prophecy? I wish we lived closer. Jake is turd for not being completely obsessed with this show. How can anyone NOT like it?

BSG group party!! I'm all for it and I am sure Maria is too. We need to get Nater and Kyle!

I don't always get numbers in the right order, but not often enough to cause problems. Learning German doesn't help, though--they say everything backwards anyway. Must be learning disorder week--I'm researching various forms of ADD. As for BSG, I'm quickly realizing I need to stay caught up to avoid spoilers!

I tried finding some way of reviewing the storyline online, and came upon various websites by people who are really bad at summarizing. Lots of "then, bla bla bla, then this and then this, then this, and then..." DAHA;LSDKJFA;LFDKJL;.

But I will try the SciFi video. Right......meow.

I'm on the BSG bandwagon now too. I haven't watched the other seasons yet (I know, blasphemy), but I watched the recap on SciFi's website, so I kind of know what's going on...
