Today I got a library card at the Palo Alto library and checked out two books - Sarah by Orson Scott Card (it's the first in the Women of Genesis series - I think you might be interested in it, Mom, although I'll let you know how it actually is) and American Islam, which is a collection of non-fiction vignettes about seven Muslims living in America. It should be interesting.
Also, since work is the same as always and the boy is awesome (same as always), time to review some TV shows that I have been watching.
The West Wing (7 seasons, starring Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Joshua Malina, Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, John Spencer) - an excellent series although it can be a bit boring/dense if watched for too long. Chronicles the "behind-the-scenes" of the executive branch and, later in the series, the running of a presidential campaign.
Battlestar Gallactica (3 seasons so far) - currently hosted by the Sci-Fi channel, this series is about the human survivors of an apocalyptic attack by the cylons, essentially human-created robots that rebelled. The individual stories are compelling and the music is either haunting vocals or drums. Although the special effects vary from episode to episode, the overall quality of the series is very good - one that can be watched for a long time.
