Food and Battlestar Galactica
Topic: Life|So, Vu has started his Vegan program. As someone who really doesn’t care much about food (me) looking at Vu, I always thought he was silly for spending so much time, effort and money on “Good” food. He’s infatuated with food, he really is. So, him giving up what he knows and likes for two months to eat a strictly vegan diet seems impressive, since even I think Vegans eat shit for food.
You can watch him and his experiment here.
I also recently found out that Vu is also a Battlestar Galactica fan, like myself. If you haven’t seen the re-imagined series at all, you should give it a chance. Forget the big hair, plastic robots and spinning Baltar chair of the old series and immerse yourself in a very human drama wearing Scifi as a cover to tell the story. I’ve never been more attached to a tv show, I’ve bought all the soundtracks, bought all the seasons on DVD and watch it religously, when it’s on.
Which brings me to the SCIFI network in general and how assinine they are. The network that brought the world Mansquito, the movie dicks around with Battlestar more often than it would seem possible. Season three ends on something of a cliffhanger and season four won’t begin until at least 9 MONTHS after season 3 ended. SCIFI can suck a dick for that and all the other crap they’ve tried to foist (more standalone episodes in season 3 to draw in new viewers, instead of sticking with the main story arc and it’s substories) and the other delays in season programming.
If you haven’t watched it, there’s no better time than now, since you can just rent it or buy it on DVD. If you’re a severe cheapass on the order of the original Captain Budget, DGant, you can borrow my DVD’s anytime. Just make it through the miniseries (2 or 3 hours) and then the first episode; 33. After that, you will either be hooked to the show or possibly hooked up to a breathing machine because you are too stupid to breathe on your own if you don’t like it.
God I loves me some BSG.

How the hell did I miss this one??? Well I did finish the vegan goal… even if I haven’t posted the 20 or so more videos that I’ve shot and not edited.
I have to admit that I did have one little screwup, when Bonny served me a dessert that she really did think was vegan then we found out halfway through (it was so good I didn’t believe it could be vegan so I stopped eating to check) that there was an ingredient in it that was derived from milkfat.
Damn the vegans!
On another note, how are you liking BSG 4?
S4 is sick, the best since S1 I think. I’m dreading the mid season gap that’s coming up though and then even more so dreading the end of the season/series.
Like a great story it’s got to end, but just like reading a good book you know you don’t have many pages left when you’re near the end. I’ll miss it, but I’m sure I’ll re-watch it regularly.
How about you, what do you think about the new season?
