Netflix and some stuff received

Sunday, February 26, 2006 6:23 PM

First off I'd like to thank everybody for their kind comments and advice. After a bit of hemming and hawwing I did decide to sign up for the Netflix. I signed up for the 1 disc at a time cheapo option we'll se how that goes.

Secondly some may know that I had an order for some Firefly stuff at amazon. It arrived containing The Firefly soundtrack, Serenity: Those Left Behind the TPB, MASH a novel of three army doctors, and a free sample of deoderant. To quote Strong Bad, "Ought I to be offended?" Just because I'm ordering geeky sci fi stuff I smell? The noive of 'em.

Anyway mini-review time.

Firefly Soundtrack: Good stuff though I wish they had included "The Hero of Canton." I supose that it would have deflated the mood or something but they could have tagged it on at the ned I think without it getting in the way of the serious composing of the rest of the disc.

Serenity: Those Left Behind. I think I prefer the comic books for ease of reading but if you don't already have those this book compiles them all with all 9 of the covers spread out through the book as full page portraits. If you do have all 9 covers then the only thing new here is the introduction by Nathan (which is good.) Of course if you have all 9 of the covers already (like me) then you will buy this anyway because you are a rabid completist.

MASH a novel of three army doctors: This is where it all began. Both gentler (in parts) and more viscious (in other parts) than the movie this episodic psuedo-memoir of life as a draftee doctor in the korean war is entertaining and ocasionally thought provoking.

I haven't tried the deoderant yet.
