POV submission

Well, I did it. I submitted a pitch for the POV Election 2008 call for entries. I put together a VERY ROUGH VIDEO DRAFT since it was required but want to stress (remember the all caps that said VERY ROUGH DRAFT?) that it is exactly that. But now I'm spending too much time talking about the VERY ROUGH DRAFT and need to tell you all to go vote for me because I have such a wonderful idea!

CLICK HERE and then follow the directions. Yes, you will have to register at the site but what site doesn't require that these days. Many thanks for taking the time to vote for me (and not Pedro).

And one more note - they put Clinton's picture up as the place-holder. That does not reflect my poitical leanings in any way. Thank you.

I've been working on a video for a call for entries. Also, moving to Seattle in a month so life is crazy...but in a good way.

Ipod for TV junkies

Having an Ipod with most of my favorite TV shows loaded up has only increased my TV addiction. At first I thought this was cool. I mean, how awesome is it to watch TV while waiting in line at the grocery store? But the novelty wore off a little and maybe I don't watch in line anymore. Still, there are times when I will think about an episode of Babylon 5 or Stargate or maybe an old episode of Remington Steele and bam, it's right there at my fingertips. That can't be good. Right? I'll let you know when I crawl out of my basement.

MS150 - the movie

Next weekend I'm riding in the MS150 - a 180-mile bike ride from Houston to Austin. Yeah, my butt's sore just thinking about it. This year I've decided to document the ride on video - a little documentary about my attempt at this ride and those I meet along the way. Just me and my mini-DV camera. I'm expecting there to be lots of cleavage shots and perhaps even one of me falling off the bike while I try to adjust the camera. Good fun, people! Let's ride!

BSG Primer

I didn't get to see the season premiere of BSG season 4 until the second airing on SciFi and by that late hour I was cat-napping during the commercial breaks. I wish I could give a review today but so much of it seems like a sleepy haze.

Salon.com has a great BSG primer if you need a refresher. I've been reading it today to fill in some of the gaps. Salon also has a great review of the season 4 opener.
