Is it even possible?

My parents got me the DVD set of Firefly for my birthday and I ordered Serenity. Both items came today and I'm dying to watch them! But, unfortunately, I am behind on summer reading for school and I need to get my work done. So, I can't watch them, no matter how much I want to. But, I can't get them out of my head, either!

What do you guys do when you have other obligations but all you want to do is go visit the 'verse?

Umm...visit the 'Verse anyway?

I do have a hard time with that, too...especially at work. But, I tell myself that I have to get "X" done before I can go play (still works even when you reach my age)...that seems to help. Dole it out; do a bit of work, watch a bit, etc. See if that helps.

Ignore Firefly while working?

Perhaps future civilizations can answer this strange and frightening question.

Lol! Hmm, I just ran into this problem the other day. I meant to start searching for captures in the BDM for some wallpapers that I had in mind. I ended up doing three captures, and spending the rest of the time just watching the movie. I don't really know how this helps your situation, just stay firm, and um, believe in the dream.

I dunno, Lissa, but if you figure it out please come back and give me pointers. I've been captivated ( held captive?) by the 'verse for almost a full year now and if you could see my office here.. you'd know I sure haven't done very well doing work first.

I often get caught talking to friends online, or watching the eps or the movie. I can't not look and I can't not watch. Not yet anyway.

Err...you mean like reading fireflyfans.net instead of doing this new fall titles list?

Seriously, you just have to focus.
Promise yourself if you read x number of pages, you can watch a whole episode.

Good luck! And I seriously sympathize!

(Now, E. If you finish 40 titles before afternoon break, you can come back and read some more.)

When doing tech support....just say, "Yes", "Really", and "I see" frequently. Then tell them to do a reboot. While you wait for them, read a post. "How's that sir?, Still Rebooting" Respond to post.

10 minutes later Oh yeah......is he still on hold?????

I'm just kidding........sort of.

I'd just watch an episode a night and do your reading during the day.
I, unfourtunately, have a hard time ignoring this forum while I'm at work. I pop on here like 4 or 5 times a day just at work, and a couple times at a night at home. I've only had the DVD's for like 3 weeks and I'm addicted to all things Firefly. This show really is special, I wish there was more of it, and at the same time, I'm happy with what was made and ok with the fact that there might not be anymore stories about the 'verse. It would be nice to see another TV season made.

Oh, wuh de mah. I hadn;'t thought about that. I'm going back to school in less than two weeks. I discovered Firefly right after school ended at the beginning of the summer.

-deep breath- Weeell. This should be interesting.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that you sit still and watch episodes of Firefly.

You do what I did when I got Firefly.I got Firefly & cause my family only wanted to watch 2 episodes a week,I couldn't hold my anticapation so I watched about 6 episodes a week on my own at night on my laptop secretly,believe me the late nights are worth it.
