Reader, here’s my pledge: you’re gonna get to read an excerpt by the end of the day (or over the weekend…or the next time you’re in the waiting room at the dentist’s office and you need something to do on your Blackberry…whatever suits you).  Point is, I’m tired of kicking around Chapter 2, and will be locking myself in my office until I finish.

So in the interest of getting back to the business of book-writing, I thought I’d keep this morning’s post short and sweet.  Here it is: It’s Friday.  In eight hours or less, you’re done with work for a full three nights.  Sweet.  Merciful.  Crap.  Anyway, given that it’s Friday, I thought I’d post something to get the geeks amped for the weekend.  Geeks, enjoy.

Oh, and if you’re not a geek, let me just say that this is, indeed, the best moment from Battlestar Gallactica action-wise.  Writing-wise, it’s not even close.  There are dozens and dozens of moments in Battlestar that made this aspiring writer’s jaw freaking drop.  If you’re a fan of good writing, you absolutely must watch this show.  And if you’re not a fan of good writing, but you happen to be a fan of the female form, there’s still plenty of good reason to move this to the top of your Netflix queue. 

In any case, the linked scene might seem a little flat out of context.  Suffice to say, here is an excellent example of the man for whom my dog is namesake being the complete and utter badass that he is.  Ignore the ridiculous wipe cuts that the Youtube poster added.  I guess he/she figured you didn’t need any of the superfluous backstory, and decided that the best way to cut it would be to employ the most ridiculous editing technique possible.
