Our BSG party was quite a success! I made a cake decorated like the Eye of Jupiter that Kara had drawn on her wall. Yes, we are *those* kind of librarians. We also had spinach dip, green challah, a pile of pretty untouched seaweed (which wasn't what I had in mind when I suggested we get seaweed to put in the veggie burgers), and our version of Ambrosia (an alcoholic green drink from the show) that we made with limoncello and green food coloring. The food was green-themed because all their sustenance on BSG comes from algae.
We even had a couple of guests dress up as cylons and do a robotic dance to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Yes, we were Rickrolled... but the two people doing the dance weren't even familiar with the concept so I'm not sure it counts.
The episode itself was pretty great. I'm not going to write spoilers here, but it was as dark and dystopian a mid-season finale as I could have hoped for. Where they are is exactly where I wanted them to end up. There were some weak episodes this season (i.e. anything that centered around Lee), but the last two episodes totally made up for it.
Now that I've fully shown the nerd content on this blog, perhaps I'll talk about librarianship soon. The likely first topic will be about the various tools libraries and librarians have at our disposal and the ways in which we use these for better or for worse. It's amazing that information professionals don't always know what tool is appropriate to use whether it be a blog, wiki, email group, or an old fashioned meeting. Us librarians sure seem to love meetings. So say we all.
