Instant Convert - Just Add
Thursday, April 29, 2004

Okay, so, I was standing around talking to one of my best friends in the whole 'verse, and I asked if he'd seen Firefly . When he said "no," I was shocked and amazed - He and I have much the same taste in shows and the like, and I was SURE he must've seen the show while it was on the air. But, alas, although he and his wife had (miraculously!) seen one of the few promos on FOX, they'd missed its pitifully short run.

So I brought Disc 1 of the DVD box set to band practice last night, and lent it to him. He was supposed to be writing a paper for class this morning, so I didn't expect to hear from him until this afternoon. (Now, understand, I have IM capability at work, so he CAN get in touch with me during the day...) I received a quick note from him at about 10am. He was only about 15 minutes into "Serenity," and had to pause the DVD to tell me how much he liked the show already, then said he'd contact me when it was over. Less than an hour later, he was messaging me again - he had to stop the DVD to laugh his tail off at Jayne's comment: "Saw that comin'..." (Before I was able to lend him the DVD, he'd already stopped by FFFn and taken Saint Jayne's Personality Test - he was Jayne by a large margin.) As you can well imagine, his paper didn't get truly worked on until he'd watched all the way through "Serenity", "The Train Job", AND "Bushwacked"...

When we last spoke today, he said he was going to spend some quality time with his lovely lady-wife. I imagine he's making a convert of his own at this very moment...

Hehe, that's exactly how I was converted. :) A friend lent me disc 1 of the DVD set. Paused "Serenity" to run in and hit amazon.com to order my own set.

Now all I have to do is bear to part with my disc 1 to convert someone else. I have neighbors that are ripe for their own brown coats....

Good for you! We new converts are grateful for the favor.
