My entire day consisted of watching Battlestar Galactica and working on cross stitch patterns. So exciting. I made my final decision on the alphabet I wanted to use for my sister's birthday present (or Christmas present depending on how long it takes) and I laid it all out in Gimp. The letters are pretty big and intricate so that took forever. And it will take even longer to actually cross stitch it all. But I really do hope I can get it done. I will have plenty of time to work on it at the theater but the real challenge will be maintaining interest in the project. My fingers will be crossed.

I also came up with the pattern for the Don't Blink cross stitch I want to do. I started out trying to make a realistic weeping angel but I quickly realized that it would come out way too big. And I am lacking almost all of the required artistic skill to make happen. So I found a clip art angel and modified it a bit. I might put some more work into it but I'll save that for tomorrow. I went through several different alphabets before deciding on one that I think I can live with. It's one of those fancy ones that are really hard to read. I thought it was fitting because the angels are gothic-like statues and have been around for almost forever.

Battlestar Galactica. The no-corners thing is still annoying. I've noticed that it is not only on paper but also pops up with pictures and video and other stuff. I find it strange. The President is growing on me a little. I used to dislike her entirely but leading up to her almost-death and then after, she has gotten more bearable. I was also getting annoyed with Baltar and his invisible Cylon friend, and I still am a lot of the time, but I think it is interesting that now the Cylon who was with him on Caprica (or the memories of that Cylon that have now been downloaded into a new body) is seeing an invisible Baltar. The invisible Cylon is trying to help Baltar help the Cylons and the invisible Baltar is trying to help the Cylon be less like a Cylon. Sharon is still my favorite Cylon in terms of hotness.

And now I want to go to bed but I just started the season two finale of Battlestar Galactica. So I am going to watch that and go to bed with whatever cliffhanger they throw at me.
