Apparently Peter Berg is coming to speak at graduation here in May. If you don't know who he is, he's been in various movies that you can find on imdb (none of them I've seen), but more importantly, he wrote the Friday Night Lights movie screenplay, is involved in the development of the show, and he directed both the movie and the pilot episode of FNL. It turns out that he went to my school, which I feel like I knew before but forgot. Unfortunately graduation is at least a week after I'm planning on leaving, so I don't get to hear him speak. Pretty cool, though.

I watched the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica and totally loved it, but I actually think I have more to say about the last 15 minutes of the season 3 finale. I watched the end of the finale right before the premiere since it was showing on SciFi, and I didn't talk much about the episode when it originally aired, but holy crap, the end just kills me. I totally just have goosebumps for the entire last quarter of that episode. Everything is just brilliant and amazing and reminds me why I love the show so much. And now I desperately need to rewatch the entire series, especially since I've only seen season 1 and the first half of season 2 twice, and season 3 and the second half of season 2 once. This is, of course, in no way feasible considering the ridiculous amount of work I have left this semester. I'm hoping to be able to do it once the semester is over. I should be able to, but there are like a million shows I've gotten the urge to rewatch in the past few months, so I don't know if I'll still want to in a month.

I've actually managed to get some work done today already, which I'm really proud of. I usually only get anything done on Saturdays if I have a paper due the following week. So far I've finished the reading for Film Analysis that... ok, was due Thursday (but I didn't have time to finish it during the week because of my Drugs and Society test and... my incessant procrastinating), but I've also finished the reading for Engilsh that's due on Tuesday. I'm going to keep working on various things until dinner (so, another 2-3 hours) and then I can relax for the rest of the night and hopefully have less work to do on Sunday and during the week as a result. I totally said I was going to post the photo meme today and that's clearly not happening. The plan is to post it tomorrow, but at this rate, it'll probably be up by, like, July. ugh. I fail.

Impatiently waiting for the Doctor Who premiere to pop up! I want it desperately (even though I'm supposed to still work for another few hours and wouldn't be able to watch it until after dinner anyways).

I officially have tickets to the Panic! at the Disco/Motion City Soundtrack (and others, but those are the two I'm going for) concert in Anaheim in June. I can't believe I've only seen Panic! (I know there's no exclamation point anymore, but it's hard to break the habit!) once. And it was so long ago! I think... October of my junior year of high school, so that would be... 2005! Fever had been out for only a month! There was no Jon Walker! (...well, he still existed. But you know what I mean) Actually, that's the last time I saw MCS, too (although I've seen them more times. I think three total?). I'm assuming I'm going alone which will kind of suck when waiting in line, but it's near impossible to stick together in the pit anyways, so that won't really matter. And I hate that it's a huge venue (why couldn't they play at Bren Events Center? Or House of Blues Anaheim?). But at least it's on a Saturday night, so if I do get a job over the summer, like I'm planning, I'll still be able to go.

Meme time! List 5 TV Credits you love, which you don't fast-forward. ( The credits. )

Time to start making flashcards for my test on Friday and maybe do the other assignment I have to do for Friday.
