I don't see tv (this is on purpose as I'm an addict and can't get anything done if I watch tv) but I know at least six people who are addicted to this show. They are RAVENOUS about it. Can't get enough of it. Tonight the one friend was saying, "I've gotta go home and study for a Trig test in the morning". And the other said, "but you said you didn't understand the material." First friend said, "I don't. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just get up early and go in to the math lab and get help before the test in the morning." Second friend said, "Oh, that means we can watch BSG!" First friend said, "Oh yeah. I'm definitely just gonna go to the math lab tomorrow."<BR/><BR/>Sheesh, what is it about that show? Okay don't tell me. I don't wanna know. My husband just got Dexter on DVD, and I saw half of one episode and now I want to see all of it. That's not the same as the BSG fans though. You guys are absolutely rabid!Cassondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420982030156788059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-17735226868501070582009-02-15T21:51:00.000-05:002009-02-15T21:51:00.000-05:00Yes Trish, the GR has his own guest room here.

My brothers sent a cute little stuffed animal hedgehog because my second book has a pet hedgehog named Dash in it. Too cute!<BR/><BR/>Hey, I will Google a guy in a heartbeat if he makes my heart go pitter pat. I was a long time fan of Roger Howarth on One Life to Live. He played the tortured character Todd Manning. I even belonged to a fanfic group and wrote reams of really bad fanfic featuring Todd, including a time travel type serial killer story set in New Orleans. I guess that was my first attempt at writing as an adult. <BR/><BR/>If I enjoy an actor's work I will try to see all of their films. Did that with Viggo Mortensen and Gerrard Butler. <BR/><BR/>I'm the same way with authors. Once I read my first Sherrilyn Kenyon, Charlaine Harris, Mary Janice Davidson and Laurel K. Hamilton books I went out and got all I could find. I have a feeling C.S. Harris is going to be the same. <BR/><BR/>Acquiring all of a romance author's books is a given for me once I decide I like their work. My Library Thing runneth over!<BR/><BR/>I loved the series Moonlight and did Google the stars to see what else they had done. I hate that they canceled it. <BR/><BR/>I've always been a big Star Trek fan and I'm old enough to remember the original series!

Star Trek, Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, Andre Norton etc. I had some fan girl crushes on movie stars in my misspent youth, but mostly I perved on football players - The Cleveland Browns front line (known as the Dog Pound), and for some now-inexplicable reason, I had a massive crush on Boomer Eisiason and Howie Long. Imagine that?<BR/><BR/>Now I'm a major CSI junie and I really love Criminal Minds too. I have several seasons and want to get the rest. Horatio Caine mostly makes me insane, but I like all the other characters.<BR/><BR/>I am dying to go to DragonCon. I'm hoping to join you and Nancy there this year, along w/ my pal Jean Marie Ward. :>Jeanne (AKA The Duchesse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03492480881584553111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-22314944656213514262009-02-15T17:49:00.000-05:002009-02-15T17:49:00.000-05:00Okay - this fan girl just listened to her team win...Okay - this fan girl just listened to her team win an awesome game via the radio on the internet*g*.
