Frack.

So as if I haven't had the chance to do enough awesome things lately, last night by virtue of my semi-tenuous connection to Yahoo! TV I got to attend a special Battlestar Galactica event at the Arclight Cinerama Dome. For those of you who haven't watched the show because the title sounds silly or you don't like sci fi...

...watch it.

Anyhoo, the four "big guns" were there - Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Jamie Bamber and Katee Sackhoff, as were the creators, Ron Moore and David Eick. Lucy Lawless acted as moderator. There was a cocktail party afterward, and fellow writers, this is where you should not take a page from my book... I chickened out and did not speak to Ron or David or any of the show's writers. I literally drew breath to address one of them, but then changed my mind.

Now obviously I wouldn't have been sleazy and tried directly to get myself a job, but it would have been a wonderful opportunity to get some insight into the biz by asking friendly questions, and I blew it!

I blame the fact that my skin had broken out into a constellation of stress-induced blemishes and I was doing my best to hide from the world in general. All the same, it was a fun little outing and I'm going to miss that show when it rides into the sunset.
