I spent the day at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center today. So, all the spacey-ness reminded me of Firefly--especially seeing some of the test stands. Especially the giant Saturn 5 test stand.

But what really got me was when I was in a lecture on biological crystal growth and a this guy walked in the room to interrupt the instructor and he was wearing blue gloves!!! Two by two, hands of blue.

Turns out he was the guy in charge of getting us donuts.

The blue hand guys are everywhere. I was walking into the food court today when I spotted a man with blue hands. Obviously the first thought in my mind was "two by two ...". When suddenly, there was a second man also with blue hands. Of course they turned out to be paramedics taking care of a patient, but those blue vinyl gloves have got to go!

I often doodle in math class (betting it‘s the cause of my falling grade), well, after a few minutes I really looked at what I was doing and noticed I had made little sketches of Serenity, the firefly logo, distant planets, and some globy scribble thing I just called “Firefly protein”. Then, on my way home from class I was listening to Neko Case and Chuck Mangione in the car-- loudly. Now I can’t hear either of their music and not think of firefly.

The only two I have on CD are Whip the Blankets, and South Tacoma Way. Very good very loud.

I also recommend Dar Williams music for anyone interested.

Yes! "Whip the Blankets" is my Wash song. I've got all Neko's solo albums. You must get them. Or I can rip them for you and we'll work something out.

I have all Dar except the newest.

And I should stop hijacking this thread.

Those are Nitril actually. I see them all the time at work. In fact those are the gloves I prefer
but we never seem to have large ones in stock. There are purple ones too. Watch out for those purple hands.

At work today -after I stuck myself with a screw driver. My first thought was a chinese curse. Really need to review the FireFly scripts for a few more.

I got my DSL working again so I went to check out Succatash’s vids last night...

http://www.strangefinger.com/firefly.html

Oh my god! Those Haken vids have to be the funniest things I’ve ever, ever, ever seen!!! *giggles incessantly* Hee, hee!

But the anti-Haken worked his way into my dreams last night and sang to me. It was all very strange and made me think of Firefly.
