BSG, Guests, Pictures

I have recently become obsessed with Battlestar Galactica. I'd never seen it before (although I've wanted to), so when one of my friends mentioned it and lent me the DVDs it completely took over all my free time. I'm really liking it. I'm almost done with the third season and am excited to see how the show and characters progress.

In other news, Matt's brother and his friend are visiting right now. It's fun to see them, and is providing a nice excuse to visit a few of my favorite restaurants - including Happy Teriyaki #3 and Brewery City Pizza. We've also been having fun with our toy shotguns.

And finally, here are a few new photos:

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

At the moment I'm torn - should I watch Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (which I haven't seen since it originally aired) or read Harry Potter (which I finally started after watching the movies)? I'm too indecisive to make decisions like this sometimes...which is why I decided to blog instead.

The topic of discussion today will be another one of my favorite things: My BuzzBee Ruff Stuff Air Blasters Double Shot Blaster Gun. Matt purchased one from Target a few months ago after he played with them at his cousin's house, and I bought mine not long after. They shoot pretty well. One of my favorite features is that when you open the barrel the shells pop out. There's even room to store up to four extra darts and shells in the butt of the gun, so you can refill in the heat of battle. I don't know if Target still carries them or not, but we were able to get them for about $15 each, and then a $5 refill pack - so we always have plenty of ammo around just in case we launch into a spontaneous battle.

On that note, I think I'm going to go read for a while. I'm glad procrastinating helped me make that decision.

These are a few of my favorite things...

For Christmas last year (or maybe the year before last), Matt's grandparents gave him a slingshot monkey. This is probably one of my favorite toys in our apartment. Not only is it a slingshot that you can shoot across the room, but it screams as it flies!! So many hours of fun...at least for me. A bonus use for it is an alarm clock when I'm trying to wake Matt up. For some reason he hates the sound that it makes when it starts screaming...regardless, for the easily entertained (such as myself), this is one of the best toys you can give.
