Starfury Serenity² - Yes there actually IS a Convention by SerenityPunk

Mornin' folks!

Went to see Serenity again last night. My boss liked it. Another of my coverts sent me a text saying it was so good he almost peed his pants. Another now has a kickass-girl-with-axe fetish.

I've done well, I think

So many cool things about our Big Damn Movie... so many little pieces, aspects, dialogue, moments and emotions...

Shiny.

Just need boots and tux measurements. Oh, and a couple of other things coming through the post in a few weeks or so.

NOVEL: I finished it. It provides some interesting (and novel-author-only) insights into some of the characters and situations. Overall, not as good as the movie, though, obviously, heh. And most of the over-referencing ain't that bad, it needed doing, but it did happen maybe a fraction more than was really needed.

I want my soundtrack CD!

"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
"Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all..."
I know the secret.

Oh, and I've been listening to The Signal again, slowly catching up.

So unless there's more than one 'Heather' that gets interviewed at Dragon*Con.... I've now heard CMS extolling the virtues of Firefly and Browncoats! Woo!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Rel-the Heather in the interview wasn't me. That was some 18 year old girl who couldn't stop saying "like". I'm the Serenity later on. I say that I volunteered at the Southeastern Browncoat fan table and babble on about how great BCs are.

Emma-Don't feel SO bad for me. I had Dragon*Con. I think about 1 convention a year is about all I can handle. Though, I will be insanely jealous and miss you all terribly while you're there.

Huh. How typical. I must listen to the rest of the show then. I had to leave halfway through... had to go see some movie called... I dunno, Peaceful or something....

...when River says "He didn't lie down. They never lie down" about the reaver that got on Serenity. As in him being one of the tenth of a percent that didn't lie down and sleep and die on Miranda.

I really liked that when I noticed it.

Yeah i didnt spot that til my second viewing!

And theres things like Joss and Morenas voiceovers, blue sun logo, the catalyzer. All good fun.

ahh-thanks Rel. I should have guessed that. I thought his voice sounded familiar. But the bad accent threw me off.

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

Mostly stupid meetings. Grr. Argh. I'm working on two distinct projects; today was to be the one day this week I spent on the first of them (thanks to having yesterday off), and yet the bulk of this morning was taken up by meetings related to the second one. Totally shot my planned level of progress in the foot. I'm tempted to take half a day later this week away from project two to catch up, except I dunno whether the program manager would see my point. He's local, while the one for the first project is in D.C. so it's easier for his stuff to get pre-empted.

Gorram program managers and their feelings of entitlement.

On the plus side, project two is much more interesting to work on.

This reminds me of Dilbert.

Do you read Dilbert?

Oh, yes I do, and that strip is so very on-target; it's sometimes painful how closely.

Watched A History Of Violence this evening. Understated and low-key.

Isn't Serenity doing well over here in the UK, eh? Great stuff!!

How's everyone?
