wombat1138Rubber cement update: overnight soaking in water plus art-gum -> complete residue removal. After another three hours of individual magatama-peeling. Urgh.
Have finally seen some of the new Battlestar Galactica, after the wombat-consort brought home a rental of the pilot movie last night. I dunno-- coupled with some of what I've heard about recent episodes, I had a certain sense of "Yes, it's all very nice to have realistic gritty issues that overlap somewhat with current events... but I find those issues unpleasant enough in current events that I don't really want to see them again as entertainment." Then again, I was slogging through various ineffectual attempts at removing rubber-cement residue the entire time, which may have both diluted my already-random focus and made me cranky. Presumably we'll start renting the first-season episodes and watching some of those too, at least when they show back up on the shelf at the rental place.
