In which I actually post an update to my Blog
Lots going on.
I am now a chief steward for ILWU Local 5 (please excuse the rough web site, we had to switch hosting on short notice), and things at BLB01 are going about as well as can be expected in these brutal economic times.
On the other hand, Percey the cat is not doing so hot. She has another round of dental problems and various other health issues, that for her comfort and quality of life we have decided not to treat. We'll be going on a track of some antibiotics and enough painkillers to keep her comfortable, and we're going to let her live out her last year or so in relative comfort. No more traumatic day long vet stays or surgery that she's always scared and miserable after, and as little poking and prodding as we can manage. There's no sense in having her live in fear.
I have come to a tattooing decision. I've always wanted to get one nice, fairly ambitious tattoo, and the decision has been made as to what & where: A collage of starships (no, not Jefferson Starship) will be somewhere on my body (I will reveal where when work has begun). Here's the list of what I'm planning on including so far
Definitley:
Serenity (Firefly/Serenity)
Enterprise (TOS)
The TARDIS (Dr Who)
a Viper (New BSG)
a Raider (Old BSG)
Moira (Farscape)
Challenger (the space shuttle)
Klingon Bird of Prey (not sure which one)
Saucer from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still
Discovery One (2001 ASO)
Maybe:
SDF 1 (Robotech)
The Phoenix (Battle of the Planets/Gatchamon)
The ARK [Transformers (80's Cartoon)]
I'm also looking for other ships, be they from old Amazing covers, obvious things I haven't thought of yet, etc. So send me links and scans, I've got some flesh to fill!
My next step is to talk to a tattoo artist, and my dear sister has provided what I think will be the right path.
I am aware that there are no Star Wars ships on the list above, and it is intentional. There will be one Star Wars vessel, either an X-Wing or Slave-1. We have been betrayed, and my anger runs deep.

Podcasts, Good News, and General Excitement
Well, lots going on.
The podcast Sadimac & I recorded with my sister is up, so please, listen and enjoy. We had a lot of fun, and hope to do it again sometime, and other than calling the Guild of Calamitous Intent the Guild of Malicious Intent I feel we had a pretty good showing.
Sadimac has had a lot of excitement of her own. There's some stuff that she won't want me to go into, but let's just say that something really wonderful happened today, and things will be coming up roses very soon. I'll announce the excitement in a couple of days when the details are more public (no, we are not having a baby).
Hopefully we'll catch up on Doctor Who and Battlestar in the next week or two, so I can feel normal again.
Oh, and I will no longer be working regular cashier shifts at BLB01, as I am now finally a full time Generalist. Good bye 5 hour till shift on Saturday afternoon. I will not miss you.

The Good Doctor(s)
I am a fairly big Doctor Who geek. My Ipod has random tracks of the Tardis engine noise, K9, Daleks, the scream effect and various versions of the theme song. The Think Geek (birthday in April: hint hint) catalog we have is particularly worn on the Sonic Screwdriver page (it WILL be mine), and the pair of glasses I'm going to get are the spitting image of the ones that the 10th Doctor wears.
All that's stopped me from building a Tardis in the back yard is lack of carpentry skill (idea: ask if I can paint the shed), and the only thing that keeps me from buying crazy things like the Tardis USB hub and remote control Dalek is a lack of funds.
The new season starts soon, and I am as giddy as a very nerdy school girl over it. Battlestar Galactica also starts soon (April 4th), so I'm going to have a very geeky April. Oh, how I love it.
