Battlestar Galactica, Song Star and Handstands
I am watching tv tonight. I haven't done that in a while. Actually, I lie. Last night I watched America's Next Top Model. It's probably another one of those things I shouldn't reveal on my blog, but I love ANTM! It is perfect for a Friday evening after an exhausting work week. I can switch my brain off and be entertained with no effort on my part.
Anyway, tonight I watched the final episode of Battlestar Galactica. I haven't seen any of this new version, and I am kicking myself. I thought it was great! Even better than the original. Why haven't I been watching this every Saturday? I hope there is another series on the way.
After Battlestar Galactica finished I switched to the last part of Song Star. Song Star was a one off program, obviously put together for NZ Music Month. Five unknown songwriters were given a week and all the resources they needed to create a professional recording of their song. The public voted on the songs and the winner got a $10,000 cheque!!! I could have done with a $10,000 cheque. How come I never heard about this competition? Obviously I need to watch more TV.
The songs were OK, and a couple were pretty good. But I know a lot of unknown songwriters with better songs. Even I could write something just as good as the songs in the competition. Sigh.
Still, it has inspired me to get out my guitar. It's about time I wrote another song. Maybe an ultra catchy commercial song so I can make some money.
Battlestar Galactica and Song Star were pretty entertaining as far as tv programs go, but they were not enthralling, so during the boring parts I was doing handstands. Or, more accurately, attempting to do handstands. I was a bit upset to discover that I can no longer do a handstand. Cartwheels, are likewise a bit beyond me now. Maybe I will spend the winter brushing up on my basic gymnastic skills.

There are a lot of American shows here. I'm not sure if we get the current or older seasons. My television knowledge is dismal.
I don't watch much television Zero to three hours per week perhaps. At the moment the only sitcom I like and sometimes watch is That 70s Show.
