It does not feel like December. It does not feel like two weeks to Christmas and Hanukkah next week.

Agreed. I'm sorry you're feeling unmoored in time. I wish I had some handy temporal mooring to offer you, perhaps a quiet quay with a nice Indian restaurant or a good pub beside it. Then again, given how long it's been since I had aught to do with boats, maybe it's just as well.

I've never seen Caprica. I hope the next episode continues the non-suckingness for you.

Even if I don't understand why the far interplanetary past looks like Vancouver plus Times Square.

It's funny how that seems to work, isn't it?
