September 2004 I left work one day because I was bored, or depressed, or angry I don’t remember what the reason was. I went downtown Seattle and decided to window shop. I stumbled from one street to another, and at the last moment decide to go see a movie. Something called “The Transporter” was playing, so I wandered into that movie and watched the coming attractions. There was something in that coming attractions about a show called Firefly, but they were more into talking about an up coming movie called Serenity. They showed a bunch of people walking around wearing cowboy like outfits, and it seemed to be kinda strange to me. They had all of these quick interviews with some of the crazed fans and I really didn’t pay it any mind. It looked kinda weird and reminded me of my Star trek days, and those fans looked and acted crazed about something! The movie transporter started and I promptly watched and then fell asleep. Still September 2004 I was pissed that sales were down and was kinda depressed so I went to downtown Seattle once again to window shop and maybe look at all the weird people. On a whim I went into a movie theater and got some popcorn and sat down. After the coming attractions the movie started… I never did end up eating the popcorn. After all that business with the opening, and the Operative, and just after he said…”Where are you hiding little girl” and then that logo of Serenity showed up with that combination of violins, cellos, bass and French horns while this strange looking ship was doing a reentry burn…I was hooked from that point on. After I left the movie theater feeling like I had missed something Major I went home and googled Serenity and kept getting back a name called Firefly. I googled Firefly and got a site that had every episode in Real Player format. I watched ONE episode and went out the next day I bought the whole what I thought was the 1st season. I watched it and rewatched it and was hungry for more. I went back to the video store and asked for Firefly 2nd season, and the clerk that heard that from me just stood there with a sad look in his eyes. I repeated my query and he just said that there was no 2nd season. I must admit that this was most likely the worst news I had ever heard in my life. I left that store feeling like a fool and also feeling like I had been cheated out of something. I still feel this way by the way. I don’t know why I decided to turn this into a blog, but what the hell. I’m drunk…again. -River

I fully intend to write something interesting and thought provoking here very soon, but for the moment I'm just gonna go with the sillies. Meet Super Hippie!

Can you guys tell I really love writing The Wish? I really do, but this story in this series has got to end! The only problem is that it doesn't wanna! Why? Mainly, because it knows what's in store for the crew of Serenity in it's sequel, The Lucky Bullet. And The Lucky Bullet's breathing down my neck, chasing me down as hard as the devil's chasing Serenity. And I can't promise that Serenity and her crew's going to all come out unscathed or at all. Death, Birth, Injuries..it's really going to be a cluster frak of angst and oh yes, there will be smut. Buckle your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride, but hopefully one worth sticking around to view. :evil: JJ :evil:

HOBBLEIT

yay, my exam is done I had to do 4 documentary commentaries. One was on Lenin's April Theses, one on the formation of the first coalition, one one July Days and one on the Kornilov Affair. The two exam questions I did were on the popularity of the Bolsheviks and was Lenin a visionary or an opportunist. I'm just glad it's over, now I can sleep. Also, I went to see POTC3 yesterday. It was ok. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush were excellent as was the monket but Orlando Bloom was terrible. Is it wrong to spend an entire film yelling 'die bitch' and 'will soimeone just please stb him?' to the screen. as my brother pointed out, he was so wooden the ship acted him off the screen.

So, the in-laws have been in town for the past little while. It's not that I dislike them, it's that I can't really talk to them (they don't really speak English). So, going out with them is more an exercise of me staring off into space than anything else. Anyway, they and the wife have gone on a little trip for 10 days. I very much dislike being a tourist, so I'm here alone for that time. I got beer chilling in the fridge, just picked up some snacks, a couple movies I can watch later and some provisions to try some (simple) recipe ideas. All in all, I think I'm gonna have a nice relaxing next little while :biggrin:
