*knock*knock* Is this thing on?

On the off chance that it isn't abundantly obvious, I've been taking a break from the blog. I just wanted a little time away.

During my break, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (holy shit!), getting excited for the return of Eureka and Stargate Atlantis in July (yay!), reading some really excellent books (no wonder Rendezvous with Rama is a classic!), and enjoying some summer movie releases (Iron Man was awesome!). I'm following scifi news, having geeky conversations with my friends, and I expect I'll be back to blogging with some regularity in the not-too-distant future. I've also given up double spaces between sentences (in your face Chicago Manual of Style!).

So, if you haven't completely wandered off during my hiatus, I sincerely thank you and I hope that when I come back it will be with something that interests you.

Finally, because I totally illegally swiped the current Show and Tell picture from (SGA show runner) Joe Mallozzi's blog, I want to share a funny tidbit from said blog. A commenter writes: "Are they ever going to stop with these ridiculous hybrid names for crossbreeds? When I first got my mutt he was just a little mongrel but now apparently he’s called a Springador (Springer Spaniel/Labrador cross)…" And Mallozzi's fuckin' brilliant response is: "I want my next dog to be a Bulldog Shitzu mix just because of the crossbreed name potential it provides." I think I pulled something, I laughed so hard.

That's it for now, thanks!
