I come bearing bad news, Syfy has decided to push the airing of Battlestar Galactica’s The Plan to 2010.  The movie was supposed to air this fall but for some reason, they have decided to push it back.  I expect this is likely to help DVD sales.

The BSG The Plan movie is still expected to be released on DVD on October 27th so at least that date hasn’t changed.  I expect that by moving the air date back several months at least, it will help DVD sales.  Considering I had planned on live blogging the airing of the movie, I find this rather annoying.  Since I am sure that all of the BSG fans will have watched The Plan by the time it airs on TV, I am officially announcing that I will not be live blogging th movie like I did with the TV show.  If there is enough interest, I might change my mind but at this point I don’t see that happening.

What do you think about the pushing back of the movie and why do you think they are doing it?

I also have hopes of recording at least one Global Geek News this week although Im not sure when.  I plan on doing a Mac edition of the show while not exclusively talking Mac will be heavily Apple focused.

I also wrote a blog yesterday on how HD-DVD can lose the war but still succeed the dvd.  Its an interesting read, so check it out at www.globalgeeknews.blogspot.com

Now that the self promotion is out of the way, here is the story of my pants that I promised yesterday.  It started about a week ago when I had some jeans which were shot and had developed a large hole around the left back pocket.  I had planned on throwing them away, but apparently I threw them into the laundry instead.   Sunday morning I grabbed a pair of clean jeans for church and not paying any attention to what pair I grabbed other than the color, I accidentally grabbed the pair of jeans.  Nobody noticed the holes as there were also holes on the other side and in the crotch before I walked out the door.  Before driving on to church, we stopped for breakfast as is Sunday morning tradition.  It was at this time my grandpa noticed the baseball sized hole in the seat of my pants.  Considering I was open for the world to see, I was happy to be wearing underwear.  I certainly couldn’t go to church like this, so after picking up breakfast, I had to go home and change.  I had hoped the story would end there, but it doesn’t.

Apparently my grandpa mentioned to my pastor about my pants and why we were almost late because of them.  Considering I had ripped the crotch out of my pants when bowling with my pastors family a couple years ago, It wasn’t that big of deal.  Then my pastor decided to announce it to the entire church.  He didn’t specify what had happened, just told everybody to ask me about it.  At that point when church was over, I got out as fast as I could before I was bombarded with questions.  Luckily the only person to ask me what happened was my pastor’s wife.    It was a rather embarrassing day.  Hopefully I won’t have people bombard me with questions about it next week.  Just another one of life’s little moments.
