What nice, shiny things did y'all get for the holidays?

I got my two copies of Serenity, BG 2.1, Gattica, really WARM socks, and my wife, son and I all bein' in perfect health.

Thankful Chrisisall

i got an ornament w/ firefly design and a pillow from tcm's site saying WWJD: what would joss do? other than that, a set of hitchcock dvds and some filmmaking books, and the wonderful gift of having the kids shut up when they played with their presents. jk

"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."

Congrats on the health, Chrisisall!

Let's see...

I got the Mercenary Jayne action figure (whee! I told Rinny they need to make little Kaylee figures so I can go all 'Darth Helmet' and play out weird little fanfic parodies with them) and the Firefly/Serenity soundtracks!

Very cool.

I also got Amercian Gothic on DVD, a ruby pendant, some clothes and a picnic hamper. I'm very spoilt.

Way I see it, we all are, seein' as we got Serenity for the holidays!

I really will wear out that gorram DVD before my birthday; now I know what I'll ask for then, too!

Got my Serenity widescreen.
Got my Farscape season 4 boxed set.
Got my CDs and books.
And the obligatory socks and underwear.

Does Blue Sun sponser the Blue Man Group?

I got a pulled muscle in my back from lifting big heavy things on Saturday and an empty wallet from paying too many bills with too few dollars. It’s the gift that keeps on giving (grief) and that I wish I could return…

Sorry if this dampens your Christmas spirit…

But you're still flying, eh?
Tore me loose a collerbone some months back, docs said nuthin' they could do, so I manage (just no push-ups, EVER).
The Christmas Spirit prevails, in any case, even on the raggedy edge.

Peace to you, GunRunner. And hoping you got a widescreen version of Serenity, at least.

For some reason I got a lot of sweaters in various colors this year.

On the real shiny side I got myself a silver firefly charm (OK,it's really a dragonfly but it'll pass). Also got a Chinese character necklace for myself and one Serenity necklace for my daughter made by Jesse Clark-White.

Also BSG season one (seems ok but it's not Firefly) and my daughter got 2 complete season one copies of LOST-one from me and one from the ex.

I might not be flying very far since I'm almost 'out of gas'. Alow me to quote a post I made on another forum:

Gunrunner: You try being happy after wasting 30 miles of gas (when you have no $ to buy more till Friday) to deliver four packs of smokes, a bag of apples and a box of ho-hos to you're friend’s wife and ungrateful spoiled children from his mother. I can’t wait till my friend comes back from deployment overseas and gives his kids a hot a$$. They couldn't wait till tomorrow- my dad works 4 miles away, but nooo they had to have it now!



Does wishing physical harm to children on Christmas make me a bad person? Seriously these kids got it coming, his son ran me over with one of those powerwheel trucks once.

Oh and I doubt I will be getting any new DVDs till February…

A surprising lack of Firefly paraphenalia (considering how much I've been trying to sell the show to friends and family). Hopefully I made some converts w/ BDM and Firefly series gifts given out tho'.

Did get a great set of Kurosawa dvd's and a couple of good books. As to any negative, gotta go w/ Chrisis'...had a good day, still flyin'.
