Nerd Alert: Battlestar Gallactica

Yeah, so I am officially hooked on Battlestar Gallactica.  What the frack!

I have been staying with the BFF while my apartment gets ready and we have spent the last two days watching episode after episode. I'm completely addicted.  The cylons and the humans.  The interpersonal drama.  It is riveting.  Totally good television.

OMG - Watching this hurts

Watching this video hurt me.  I just have no words.  I just saw this clip on a television show on E! and it is from America's Got Talent.  I just have no words

Tchubibaron and the Honey Badger

Two videos that have recently made me laugh.

First is a group of men (attractive men) doing what appears to be the Brazilian version of the Macarena.  I think the dance makes me laugh.  I think the huge smiles that are on the guys' faces make me chuckle.  The jokes that my friends and I have told about this video is ultimately what makes this video the absolute best.



BFF and I have been laughing about this second video for two days now.  The Honey Badger  is kind of  a crazy animal.  Honey Badger don't care.  Honey Badger is naasty!

Moving

I have moved out of my apartment.  Moving takes a long time.  It is exhausting.  It is tedious.  It made my body feel sore.  It never seems to end....

That said...Here are some of the things I have really enjoyed about the moving process.

1. The opportunity to sort and purge.  I was able to go through all my old documents and pictures and boxes and all kinds of stuff.  I got to throw things away that needed to get thrown out.  I also got the chance to reflect and think about the last few years.  It is amazing how much stuff can accumulate in the secret corners of your apartment.  
2. Good people that help you move! I am lucky enough to call some young recent alums friend and They help me move.  Their energy and good humor remind me that I am 10 years older than them.  haha.  I am so very thankful for the help of AV, MA, AB, CN & GC.   JC brought me home after I dropped off the Uhaul.  BFF started and ended the day.  He took me to pick up the uhaul and he came to help me finish the final cleaning push as I was running out of steam.  
3. Anticipation.  The anticipation and excitement of a new place to live is very exciting.  Figuring out how everything will fit and what it will look like is exciting.  

I'm in a temporary holding pattern for the moment until my apartment is ready. I'm looking forward to having people over for a dinner or game night. 

Birthdays

I love them.  I think that birthdays are important things.  I believe that they should be celebrated.  I feel deeply grateful that the people I love are in my life and that they were born in this world.

A friend of mine doesn't wish people happy birthday.  Instead she wishes them a Happy New Year.  Isn't that great?  I love that idea.  Birthdays really do mark the beginning of a new year for us.  They are a great moment to pause and reflect on the past year and set goals for the new year.

My birthday happens to also fall on the last day of the fiscal year.  This year this timing has created a strange juxtaposition of things for me because my birthday marks the last day of work for some people that are important to me.  More than many years in the past, my birthday feels like a marker of change for me life for some reason.

I am both terrified and excited about the next year.  I think that it has the potential to be really incredible.  I have big plans and hopes.  Bring on the new year!
