I'm not remotely excited anymore - nope, not one bit. In fact I'm a little bored of the whole thing - anyone want to buy my ticket? I'll throw in a free sweatshirt!

Is that for the sweatshirt or the ticket?! Coz, you know, the ticket is still the same price (plus the £1.21 ransom fee paid to the Royal Mail!).

Hope you're geared up for comic hunting! Can you get me a raspberry Krispy Kreme from Tesco Metro while you're out too? Thanks

Well presumably you can't hear the "squeeeeeee" in space....

Hmmm, I did an essay at school once where the heroine was murdered at the end during a 4th July firework display, and ended with a play on her not being able to hear people scream in space. Can't remember what mark I got for that, but not sure it was the sort of thing we were supposed to be writing about...Mind you, I also did a "book" review of the Doomlord comic strip from "Eagle"!

I know all the spoilery Serenity secrets that ever spoiled an angry non-spoiled person. Cos I've, y'know, seen the movie. I might have mentioned that once or twice.

I have all three of #1 and all three of #2. All three of #3 should be coming in the post sometime soon. Why go a-hunting when you can just pre-order online instead?

Hmmm. Long drive time. Catch y'all later.

At ease Private. Job well done.

So, seems like I'm off to GOSH on Saturday (which is good, because it's cheaper!). I just hate that Simon cover, but will buy it if it's all I can find.

So, did you get any? Comic, I mean.

Excellent question - don't know whether we've had second printings yet.

Anyhoo, just phoned GOSH and asked them to put aside River & Simon for me. Damn it, just realised they have Kaylee as well - back on the phone! And Rel, I prefer to buy in store so I don't have to pay the same as the comic (or more) in P&P!

(hey, where's Carol? I wanted to know whether she sensed the virtual hug I sent her around 8.10 last night!)

Right, called GOSH back - am vaguely hopeful that they understood what on earth I was going on about (Them: "What's a "Kaylee" cover?", Me: "Smiling girl in dungarees."!)

Ah, glad you got Wash for Carol - was just thinking about that.

I really don't like the River & Simon covers but I want to get the comics signed at Serenity 2 so what's a girl to do? Although I'm still really confused about this whole personal items/badger thing. Do you get one free personal item per Guest? (eg, each guest could sign their respective comics).

(any donut is a good one - and that did make me laugh! Then I cried a little because I couldn't actually eat it!)

I'm eagerly awaiting my pre-ordered #3 covers to arrive. I've no idea when that will actually happen, but if the stores are getting them right around now, the pre-order folks oughtn't be too far behind.

On the whole Squeeeeeees in Space thing, I keep returning to the tree falling in the forest question. If no one hears it, is it really a squee?

Spinny-don't you start going all Jubal Early on us.

Here is my thought on the subject, though. When you squee, it is the external expression of an internal emotional response. So, even if the external sound is not heard, the internal response still happened, so the squee still existed, even if only internally. Make sense?

And when trees fall in the forest, the other trees hear and mourn.

So the act of squeeing imbues the squee itself with meaning, even if it's not actually heard.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have a second or two before you actually explode or decompress or whatever? That's just about enough time for one last, quick sque- if you ask me.

And Spinny-exactly, I think. But I think existentialism is bunk, so let's not go there. Plus-it makes my head hurt. Ow!

A neat little discussion of what really happens to a body in vacuum can be found at this link:

http://www.sff.net/people/Geoffrey.Landis/vacuum.html

A summary of the findings:

Quote:
A frequently asked question is: how realistic is the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where astronaut Bowman makes a space-walk without a helmet? How long could a human survive if exposed to vacuum? Would you explode? Would you survive? How long would you remain conscious?

The quick answers to these questions are: Clarke got it about right in 2001. You would survive about a ninety seconds, you wouldn't explode, you would remain conscious for about ten seconds.

What sort of payscale level can you live with? Some entry-level jobs have modest advancement potential and train you off the street; thinking supermarket cashier, for example.

IMNSDHO the food service and retail arenas devalue the worker to such a degree I'd avoid them except as last resorts.

I could never go back to retail. Worked at Blockbuster for a bit and at my appraisal my boss told me how pleased he was with me - except that for the fact that I obviously didn't like customers.

And he was right.

A couple of large banks have headquarters up here, and hire entry-level positions in things like import/export money transfers; people who get such jobs begin with a 4.5-month training program, and only need such qualifications as being comfortable with computers and having moderate typing skills.

Similarly Met Life has a big local presence and hires claims handlers, or whatever phone people are called there.

Just some local examples; corporate headquarters presences generate a lot of clerical staff jobs that I imagine don't require much by way of initial skills sets. Assuming starting off the street with zero credentials limits the imagination somewhat.

There's a local organization called Working Solutions that specializes in matching job seekers with likely employers--and does it for free (non-profit, funded by grants). Something like that would be golden for you, methinks, if you can find such.
