I'm not super dedicated to science fiction. In fact, it's my escape from reality. However, even when escaping I have plenty to say on the subject. I'm not as devoted to it as some people I know. That said, it's not a shallow thing for me. I can overthink it like I overthink everything else under the sun (and moon and other planets). My ramblings will range from cerebral to silly and borrow random elements from seemingly nonsensical areas. Many have (and will) appear in my journals first. When they arrive here, there will be edits for language, typos and similar details. However, the 18+ rating will stay since sex, violence and similar topics will be addressed in this blog. After all, sci-fi includes these elements in various ways from time to time.
To get an idea of my science fiction background, I recommend this primer " Preferences in a nutshell"  . Links are always relevant to my interests, and my favorites can be found in the lefthand column next to this blog. You'll also see links to my other journals if you want to browse the unedited versions of my rants and/or see who I am outside the science fiction realm. Comment as much or as little as you like. Just remember that I'm not here to take things too seriously, as that's just not how I roll in sci-fi discussions.

I will have my DVD in a bit. There was a credit card snafu and other shenanigans that have resulted in me getting it a week later than the other geeks. Hey, at least it gave me time to find a movie that suits both my movie snob tendencies and my incessant urge to fangirl over Karl Urban. Seriously, I think mi amor would probably celebrate the day when Karl retires. Or is otherwise out of his current career. Anyway, since my squeefest DVD review won't be around until sometime after Thanksgiving, I'll throw a link your way!

Ten bucks says this guy is in denial. Hey, join the club, buddy! I still like to pretend I have some dignity and confine all my Star Trek merchandise purchases (all two of them) to the world of online shopping. But when I start talking about how illogical it is for Starfleet to be headquartered in San Francisco due to the geographical instability of the area, I realize there's no hope left for me. Yeah. I'll elaborate on that point soon. I promise. Right after I stop adding additional crap to my Netflix queue. And get my rear in watching Flash Forward. And not just because John Cho's in it. Trust me. I'm up to my ears in sci-fi stuff I want to catch up on (along with news, political stuff, wedding planning, work and a zillion other things).
