so, my sis bought banana liquor and we've been drinking mixed drinks half the night, so I'm a little loopy right now. Currently watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...it's pretty cracked out. I read the book, but the book is always better than the movie.... Sam Rockwell's good as Zaphod, tho

Some of you will remember that last month I moved from Indiana to South Carolina to be closer to my son. I quit my job (obviously!), and didn't have a new one lined up. I'm not wealthy, and I was starting to worry about money. As it is, I'm having to sell the stock I had in my old company for rent money. A little over two weeks after my arrival I signed with a temp agency because they had a job they thought I would be perfect for. This past Tuesday I interviewed with the plant manager, and a day later I was offered the job. I start Monday! I'm going to be working in, and eventually running, the shipping department for a brass forging plant in the Midlands/Upstate area. Lots of Inventory work involved, which is my specialty. And the plant is only half an hour from the town my son lives in. I'm really thinking this could work out well. Of course, for 90 days I'm working for and being paid by the temp agency, making 2/3 of what I was making in Indiana, but I can survive on that for a while. It's not job-related, but there is a problem, however. My father is a minister, and an elder in our church. We did a search before I left, and there are no Mennonite churches in the entire STATE of South Carolina! I'm by no means an evangelical, and some would probably call me a heretic, but not going to church isn't an option for me anymore. I'll just have to start looking...

It occurred to me that I owe you BIG, and I hope you'll accept my thanks. You've been kind enough to post some of your beautiful artwork here at Haken's site, and over the last year or so I've adopted some of your work as my Wallpaper (your signiture is in the corner). I also really love the beautiful Art Deco portrait of Inara, wonderful work! So today I was thrilled to find your Cafe Press site:

I drove about an hour to go see Serenity last night. I had to go see it by myself because I can't find another browncoat anywhere near me. I got there about 15 minutes before the movie started so I rushed to get in line and get a ticket. There were more people just kind of standing around then there were in line so I moved my way through them to find an actual line. There was a group of four teens standing in a huddle near me. One of them said "What do we want to see?" That was my cue, right? So I turned around to them and said "You want to see Serenity." The guy nearest me made a face and said that it sounded like a chick flick. What an insult to both me and my movie! So I told him that it was most definitely NOT a chick flick, that it was action/adventure/horror/suspense/sci-fi..and the same kid cut me off with "I don't like sci-fi." To which I responded, "This is NOT Star Wars." I give him a brief outline of the premise for the movie, he's still not convinced. His three friends are just standing there. Finally, I tell them that if they want to see Serenity, I'll buy all their tickets. Still they looked uncertain. So I got in line and when it was my turn to buy my ticket, I looked back at them. They were still just standing there, unsure of what to do (This is a thing I hate about teenagers. This is a thing I hated about teenagers when I WAS a teenager!) I tried my hardest, I did. I bought two tickets anyway. And the movie was showing at the screen in the furthest deepest recess of the theater, way way in the back. I think the room sat 50-75 people and it was only 1/2 full. Not another single browncoat in the room (you can kind of sense these things, can't you?) But what it did have was the crying baby, the person who coughed through the whole thing and the woman behind me who kept kicking my seat and didn't get the hint even after I moved down a few seats. They didn't laugh once until "I need your authorization code..bang bang bang...okay!" I mean, the whole exploding sequence got nothing! And then afterwards a few people hung out during the credits and discussed it: "Wasn't this a cancelled TV show?" "What was up with prostitute?" (I bit my cheek not to yell back "The term is [i]Companion[/i]!") and other clueless stuff. Oh well, at least now maybe some of them will go hunting for more info. And I was the only one that stayed till the end. I had to stay till the very end to hear the Ballad of Serenity. It's like a thank you note from Joss. And another funny thing: I got home after midnight and crashed, I was so tired. But I woke up abruptly at 6:30am. In my Serenity filled mind, a flash bomb went off! In reality, it was probably thunder and lightning, but I had earplugs in so I didn't hear the thunder, I just probably felt it and saw the lightning flash. Still, it's very startling to wake up to what you think is a flash bomb!

Numbers for the Friday Box Office are coming in, and they are NOT of the good. A 60% drop off, $1.5 million, [b]9th place![/b] We need to [b]get back out there and buy more tickets![/b] If you can, [b]buy extra tickets![/b] I'm thinking of buying tickets for every matinee showing on Sunday, and buying as many as three extra tickets when I go to see it tonight. [b]Talk up the BDM[/b] even more! Post [b]guerrilla marketing[/b] if you've got 'em! We are in serious trouble here, and only money & word of mouth can save us. So get back out there and HOLD THE LINE! I want my Big Damn Sequel, gorramit!
