Okay, quick question for people who know more about cars than I do.

Which isn't hard to do, honestly.

Anyway, I stopped at the car before I made a run to the minimart to try to start it again. No luck this time, but when I tried to start it, the radio wouldn't even light up.

So, new battery, yis? Please tell me that probably just means a new battery. Just buying new parts is a hell of a lot better than, "You need to take it to a mechanic."

In other news, I'm currently downloading all of Battlestar Galactica up to the beginning of season three. Yeah, because what I need is another fandom. On the other hand, I can put it on the Zen and then go for walks while watching the episodes. See? I'll get exercise AND catch up on fannish pursuits. :)

Don't watch it all in one sitting. Really, don't do more than two or three episodes a week.

I made that mistake (as I've said a zillion times by now) with B5 and it really screwed with my brain. And BSG is one seriously dark expletive profanity. It's exhausting to watch.

I'll second that.
I just got the second season on DVD and I think I might wait till I'm feeling a little less delicate to start watching it. Although I'm dying to.

On the plus side about the second season, it gets a bit weird in the end (though now it's back on track, I think), so it's less of a mindfuck in that respect.

On the downside, the less-weird episodes are even worse for "dark" than the first season! I'd explain, but, y'know, spoilers.
