a sci-fi trifecta

You couldn't ask for a better Blu-Ray Sci-fi release week than this past Tuesday. First, The Holy Grail: Battlestar Galactica The Complete Series. I don't even need to get into the greatness of BSG. Time magazine has praised it. Those fuckers at the emmys and the golden globes have ignored it. I love the Green Lanter comics and was eagerly awaiting the cartoon and it did not dissapoint. The real suprise was how bad ass Alias actor Victor Garber was as Sinestro. Perfect casting. I wish he could play him the upcoming movie. And last but not least is Dollhouse, a show that I was not into at first but finally started liking midway through the season and it payed off ( as in, I'm glad it got a second season, it would have been dissapointing for it not to).

+ I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH b/c of the Katee cameo: Battlestar Galactica Concert: Bear McCreary with Katee Sackhoff "All Along The Watchtower" Live 6-13-2009 , her apperance at the concert is an attempt to recreate a scene from the episode "Someone to Watch Over Me"

Press your lips To my eyes

“I saw you again, Aurora Lee.... Your painted pout and cold gaze were, come to think of it, very like the official lips and eyes of Flora, my wayward wife, and your flimsy frock of black silk might have come from her recent wardrobe.”
Nabokov's 'The Original of Laura'

"I dreamed you were a poem,
I say, a poem I wanted to show someone ..."

The more I live the more I think
two people together is a miracle.
