At home Friday night

Last night I lazed around at home and watched the 2-hour premiere of Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica – I was never a Battlestar fan, so this is all new to me. I was having trouble deciding if I thought it was actually good or not, but it sure was pretty to watch. I [...]
