Battlestar

I haven’t really been in touch with my sci-fi/fantasy side in a long time. In fact, not really since my slobbering affair with the LOTR EE films. Even then my attachment was quite tame compared to some of my friends, who to some degree took the whole Tolkien phenomena quite far.

So it’s with a fair amount of glee that tonight I attempt to re-kindle a long-lost love-affair with sci-fi. I’m going to try and find the han-solo (or chewey) within that I’m sure used to be quite an active persona of mine but who’s been unfairly trampled and hidden in recent times.

I’m going to start watching Battlestar Galactica.

Of course the trick to this is that I’ll have to start watching it from about the 2nd episode - without having seen the mini-series - and still enjoy the show. So perhaps I’ve missed out on the best parts of the show, but that’s okay. I’m putting some faith into tv advertising. And yes, I know that I should be prepared to be bitterly disappointed OR at least kicked in the nuts, but maybe things will be different.

It’s things like this that remind me of my fairly disparate hobbies and passions - my drumming and web-geek/gamer nature is a nice example. My overwhelming physical build (_smirk_) and scary appearance compared to my very gentle nature is another.

In other geeky news I’ve been fighting with Apache 2 trying to get mod\_perl installed. When I say fighting I mean that mod\_perl has been kicking my ass and refusing to work. For the moment I’ll let it win. But when it least expects it.. \*wham\*
