Ooh, my bad! Page 27 - interview with Chiwetel Ejiofor. Well, maybe "interview" is stretching it a bit, but at least the BDM gets a mention.

COSMICFUGITIVE

Sticking to the randomness:

I saw Chiwetel Ejiofer in the film 'Red Dust' on BBC2, Saturday night.

(It was a great movie! I loved his performance. Now I know why Joss cast him in Serenity. The guy's got screen presence. I kinda forgot Hilary Swank was in it most of the time too and I love her work.)

Did anyone see it?

cosmicfugitive welcome!

We are all sane and lovely people without any obsessions (especially of the cocoa, alcohol or unclothed variety) so please don't be scared!

(Ok, that bit may be a lie - but don't be scared and really SerenityPunkCarol hasn't kidnapped anyone in aaages - well a few weeks at least.)

Conventions are wonderful - you know you have been to three. You are welcome to get drunk with us. Rel and I were hoping to sort out convention dance classes if you want to come. We will be taking Fray and Jaina but they aren't too keen (this is why Fray and I will meet in the bar, of course you can't tell her that - she would slap me). Alternatively you can help us chase SimonWhoIsEvil for photos (EDITED: I just noticed your photo on the verse!)

Ok now you're scared, what I'm trying to see is...hello!

PROBLEM WITH AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL= Pixie has misplaced phone or dropped it in puddle. Waiting for new model to arrive or for it to be fixed.

Ok it took me ages to find this thread and where everyone had gone to and we're talking about pixies??!!!

Go figure I always thought it was gnomes that worked air traffic control (tho' techinally they could be the same thing).

I'm right there with whoever said vodka teaches you to dance, I'm a regular John Travolta after I've had a couple!

Didn't go in the end, very sick little boy (too much sun) kinda stopped me, but I just bought tickets for A few good Men in September and tiks for me and my kids to go to his panto in December, we're also planning on going to his signing at the Who shop on August 28th, I'm also going to the Doctor Who exhibition in Brighton for my birthday.

Speaking of my birthday it's the 11th August, my mum's coming down from Scotland and she goes and books us tickets for Grease (I love that show) as a treat for me, trouble is she booked it for the day after my birthday, i.e. August 12th! There's no way I'm going to make Memorbilia - sorry guys!

As this is completely randon and not really about anything I thought I could stick this in, it's hilarious, it's called the Dalek song and it made my little one laugh till he cried, it's a video just follow this link http://artistic-insanity.net/song/daleksong.html and press play.

Have you guys seen Serenity is being screened in August at the Edinburgh Film Festival? How random is that. I will try and book tickets (opens 15th July) and hope I can find somewhere to stay. If not another Browncoat can have them and most definitely not through e-bay (eeeeeevil). Anybody else fancy a trip to Scotland?

So I have been ignoring this thread because I thought it was just about the Serenity Squared event. Then I get this wild hair to check in and see what’s what.

What do find?

One of the most fun thread series ever! That’s what. Would you mind if I sat in the corner and listened to your randomness?

Qualifications: I like vodka and chocolate, Crème Eggs are to die for, I like birthdays, and cake, I’m in the photo verse, I can be random.

Weaknesses: Uneducated American. Pressies are presents, right?

Yep, you're right - presents!

We do seem to have wandered off topic even more than usual! Although having said that we're fairly consistent in what we DO talk about (chocolate, vodka, chocolate, nudity, more vodka...). Goodness knows what will happen when we actually all meet up!

Hello! ThatWeirdGirl welcome! Nice to have you aboard. This is 'officially' a bonding thread before the Serenity con but to be honest it has gone so far beyond that that as long as you can cope with the (very) occasional con and shindig mention then it will be a pleasure to have you.

Now will you virtually streak or send a photo of your bare bottom (we are easy here but our initiation is tough)?

PS Pressies are indeed presents

PPS I nearly forgot:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPpy birthday DEAR JAINA
HAppy birthday to you

(in my enthusiasm I ran out of puff, but it doesn't mean I don't mean it any less)

PPS Fray, I will try and buy tickets for Edinburgh but if the London dates are announced I will try for those and do that one instead - just so I can come and party. Does one approve?

I was so excited when I saw this I thought I would post it here (very random - this is now a cookery thread)

Out in the Milky Way martini
Ingredients
6 ounces of freezing Absolut Vanil vodka
1 Milky Way candy bar sliced into smallish pieces
1 tablespoon of sweet chocolate shavings

Put the sliced candy bar into your microwave oven and heat until it melts.
Pour the vodka into your cocktail shaker, which is half full of cracked ice.
Shake, shake, shake. A good dozen vigorous shakes should do the trick.
Let your shaker rest while you prep your glasses.
Spoon 1 teaspoon of the gooey candy bar into the bottom of each glass.
Strain the vodka equally.
Top each glass with some chocolate shavings.
Spin the cool tiki beats of King Kukulele & the Friki Tikis...sip and enjoy!

Plllleeeease someone try it, if not I will have to as soon as I have finished ready HP (probably to drown my sorrows knowing JK)
