So I volunteered at the boy’s Valentine’s Day party today. They had all these cute little centers set up. Make a bracelet for your Mom, toss the beanbag through the hoop, pin the nose on Mr. Heart – Man thing. Lastly was a musical chairs like color game where you had to stop on a heart that was the color that your adult (me) called out.  The earlier players had listened to some fun guitar music, but apparently that song had ended. When I pressed play, there was this awkward pause, and I kid you not, the next song was the theme from Battlestar Galactica. The 80’s version. I have to admit I laughed. And was pretty much the only one laughing. So I win the geek parent award at preschool. Again.

Good, someones gotta win it. If I’d been there with you, I would have laughed too. I just don’t understand boring, without humour people.

I would not have laughed, because I wouldn’t have recoginzed the theme song. Because I want allowed to watch BSG in the 80s. Which, I feel , is also pretty darn geeky.

We’ve been watching BSG lately–three months ago I wouldn’t have been able to recognize it, but we’ve been streaming the old one AND watching the new one on DVD (both via netflix) now geeky are we?!

Congratulations. I wouldn’t have gotten it, but I’m not cool enough to really enjoy Sci-Fi. I think I’m still pretty geeky, but only in a balkan-y music sort of way.

Have you been watching the new show Caprica? In the last episode, someone turned on the radio and it played a tiny snippet of the old BSG theme music, but then he quickly changed the station. So cool. I played it back 3 times because I thought it was so funny.
