One Mouthy Broad

I have finally discovered the tv show Supernatural. After watching all four seasons in the last month and a half, I have come to the conclusion that it totally kicks ass.

( Cut for Pris gushing about her new favorite tv show and how it's better than Buffy the Vampire Slayer. )

I have to say that it's about freaking time Battlestar Galactica started up again, because television was looking mighty bleak for awhile there. Although I have to admit that's because I have a low tolerance and have given up on so many shows that I used to enjoy (Smallville, Heroes, Lost). The only other show I watch anymore on a semi-regular basis is Reaper, which if you're not watching, you're totally missing out because it's pretty hilarious.

Anyway, back to Battlestar Galactica and some things I really want to see this season, because as you all know, it's all about me. ( Cut for BSG Spoilers. )

Stolen from noneko and cavortingmonkey...

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

I had three books piled on top of my monitor, so I picked the most entertaining quote of the three:

"I have your permission to come out?"

"Yup," I said, "For the purposes of this mission only. And don't waste time prowling around in women's locker rooms again."

Incidentally, the above quote comes from the book Grave Peril by Jim Butcher (it's the third book in the Dresden Files series). If you're a fan of the modern fantasy genre in the spirit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the first three non sucky Anita Blake books, I'd highly suggest checking the books in the Dresden Files out. It's a series about a wizard named Harry who lives in Chicago and kicks a ton of ass. It's kind of what the Anita Blake novels should have been. The main character is very entertaining, and the author does a good job integrating fantasy elements into modern day fiction.

Jim Butcher is like the anti-Laurel Hamilton. Everything that she does wrong in her books, he does right. Go read him. I'm currently re-reading the series, and it's just as good the second time through.

Also, for those of you too lazy to actually read the books, a series based on the books is coming out on the sci-fi channel in January 2007. If they do as good of a job on this series as they did on the new Battlestar Galactica, it's going to be awesome.
