Merchandise? What?? Where?!

Regretfully, I have not yet actually seen any. Can't wait for the action figures to come out, though. Just imagine carrying around the crew of Serenity!

Lego Serenity!

Well, I can dream, can't I?

I just had an idea. Not a product that I would necessarily buy, but it'd be perfect for Jayne'sGirlfriend and JaneLover, ect. A Jayne plush toy. And when you tickled his belly, he sings Jayne's Song.

Personally, I'd like a model Serenity to hang from the ceiling. It'd match the Whedon Freak theme of the room.

But I think my ultimate Whedon Wish List Product--apart from every episode of everything on DVD--would be Tales of the Slayers action figures. I would kill for a Nikki and Fray to put next to Buffy and Faith. Thereby securing myself a special place in the geek hall of fame.

Oh, and now that I think about it, here's my dream BTVS DVD special feature: The screen tests for the actors. Think about it. The Episode one DVD had Wussie Kid's tryouts for Anikin. (Lucas was sooooooooo close to picking someone--anyone with potential tallent. You have no idea.) X-Men had that wonderful screen test with Logan and Rogue. If they did that with BTVS think of all the goodies we would get:

Gellar trying out for Cordelia
Danny Strong Trying out for Xander
Julie Benz as Buffy
Nathan Fillion for Angel
Armin Shimerman as Principal Flutie
And people that actually got the parts they originally tried out for. Cool!

Woohoo! Here's some more! (all of which apply to me, sadly )

-You do a silly little doesn't-actually-count-for-anything voting ballot in your class on election day, and rather than checking off any canidates, you do write ins electing Joss Whendon for senators and Firefly characters for all the other positions

-You're risking your life typing this during history class

-You've ever called yourself a Browncoat

-You finally saw your almost finished set for drama for the first time, and your response was "Oh! Shiny!"

-You have at least one person ready to kill you to get you to stop talking about Firefly

-You're currently building a rather large website for the show

-You've started saying "Dong ma" insead of "alright" or "got it"

-You've ever said "Gorram Alliance" when refering to your school board or some other horribly oppresive organization

Thassit for now! I'll put even more down when I don't have to keep hiding the page from my history teacher... hehe

Here's my two cents:

- You're out on a date on Friday and suggest that you "go back to your place"... not to get some lovin, but so you won't miss Firefly.

- Date suggests going back to her place, and all you can think is "she doesn't have cable and her rabbit ears won't pick up fox..."

- You cut your date short so you can get home to watch Firefly.

I was struggling with these options this last Friday...

I had a scary moment today. I realized that I was getting more e-mails from notify@fireflyfans.com than from spammers. Which is saying alot. Definately a Firefly Sickness moment.

While stuffung Christmas cards into envelopes at work, you're dreaming up a FF merchandise wish list.

(Yeah, I had the plush Jayne idea too. Vera, Binky & Boomer, and the rest of the arsenal sold separately. And a Blue Sun muscle shirt (hehe, me in a muscle shirt!) and a long coat just like Zoe's, and Wash's dinosaurs...)

Ooo!! Mad fest!! Melee and I get to be in a music festival together, and we're going to drive people INSANE! We're already planning on wearing browncoats.. but the great new development: the location of the event includes the word "alliance."

ooo.. wer'e going to be annoying.

The girl i've sat next to in rehearsal for years is refusing to sit near me, because she's afraid i'll "be weird."

oh, she has no idea!

Okay, y'all be good and don't scare the nice people! Be just weird enough to make people curious, and when they start to ask questions...


Another sign of the sickness...

You're horrified to discover you've addressed at least a dozen Christmas cards to Jayne Cobb, The Hero of Canton!

So I am realizing that I have season tickets to the Paramount Theatre here in Seattle, and every single show we are seeing the Friday night show! I am now struggling: Suessical the Musical? or Firefly? I'm going to have to record Firefly... but.... AAAAAaaaaahhhhh.... the anguish of not seeing it first run! (at least this way I can fast forward through commercials!)

Aw, come on, I'm holding your head!
