A DE-LURKING WARM-UP
Thursday, June 7, 2007 1:38:32 PM
Well, first off, a hearty Ni-Hao to all the shiny Browncoats holding the line here at FFF.net :)
Been off-line for, well... longer than I like to think of. Well, I've HAD internet, but this whole 'being in a committed relationship' thing really cuts down on the time I spend at a keyboard, I've found. 
(Don't worry Kaylee, I still only have eyes for you :)
Anyways, turns out I've been out of the loop since something like last September, so I thought it was high time to break the hiatus with a long-overdue (and most likely highly verbose) log entry. A little bit of a warm-up after a long slumber, so too speak.
Can't really blame my girlfriend, though, for being out of touch, as she's just as much a 'Coat as I am, now. (We just had our one-year anniversary in April and she got me the Done the Impossible DVD and a real shiny Serenity poster :) And we've been doing what we can to convert the masses, as well. We got her brother hooked with the BDM recently when it came on one of the HD movie channels (which rocked!) And we've managed to hook quite a few more with the Firefly bug; hopefully they're all dutifully spreading the word as well, of course.
So, I've missed out on quite alot of expressing my opinions on various things, so I'll just spew some out right here:
Oh, so I hear that Dark Horse is going to be putting out Serenity Lunchboxes in the near future? Absolutely shiny idea, I wish I'd thought of it first. Oh... wait. I did :)

And blah, blah, blah... :) I've got better shots of these on photobucket, but I don't want to fill this page up with images, and I'm not as internet-savvy as I used to be, so if anyone's so terribly interested I can put those up in a more relevant post or something.
Nathan Fillion in Drive: WTF with cancelling another good show, on Fox no-less? I was just starting to get into that show, and all of a sudden... nothing? Still, bright side is now he's free to film more episodes of Firefly??? (Please????) Seriously, though, did Fox need to make room for yet more reality-TV or something?
Oh, and Summer's going to be in the new Terminator show. That's awful damn shiny, too. Can't wait for that. Definately need to see her doing more action scenes, seems like this'd be the show for that. ('Course Firefly would be THE show for that, but I suppose that goes without saying around here :)
Any news on that movie Jewel was going to be in? The Tribe, I think? (To be honest, I mostly remember she's running around in very little clothes in it, which, well... the testosterone in me isn't going to let me get that image out of my head any time soon. Not that that's an image I'm eager to be rid of.) Still, chauvanism aside, I'll be watching for that to come out as well (In my bunk :).
Uhmm.... oh, Joss isn't writing Wonder Woman anymore? Hmm... I remember reading his post about that on Whedonesque, and it sounded like it was at least a civil sort of decision. But still: isn't Wonder Woman sort of right up Joss's alley? Could there possibly be someone else out there that's more equipped to write a WW movie? (Starring Morena Baccarin, of course :) But hey... frees him up for another, perhaps more imporant, and certainly much shinier, franchise? (Can't imagine what that would be, think it starts with an "F".... ends with a "irefly"?)
Well... let's see. I know I've missed out on a LOT more than that. Been lurking for awhile, now, and while I've tried to check in now and again and see what's up... (Isn't Gina Torres in a movie coming out soon? Seem to remember something about that, but don't recall...)

Catching Serenity as an idle rental on DVD made me an instant convert. I only wish I'd caught the bug sooner. It's rare that a work comes along that's that inspiring. My only regret is that I'd only caught one episode while it was running (Bushwhacked), Fox made it rather hard to catch any more eps on a regular basis...
Firefly has, in all seriousness, been what has re-opened my eyes to the fact that there is still room in this world for creativity. I had literally not put pencil to paper in about four years until I had seen the BDM. (And I'm still paying off student loans for my BFA :) So yeah, being a Browncoat kinda sorta means alot to me. I can't let Serenity drift out into the black, 'cause there's a long-lost part of me stowed up there. (Following Kaylee around like a loyal puppy, no doubt :)
About the nickname: long story short, it comes from a comic book I've been working on for the past, oh, 6-7 years and still isn't anything I'd show to people. (Not a "this sucks" thing, just a "it's not what I want it be yet" sorta thing.) So, the name's stuck with me for a long time, you could say. For a hint at the double-meaning in it: the name of the book is A New Clear Day. I could explain this more, but I won't here. Not enough space.
About the smiley-face emotes (these: :) Well, I simply can't stop using them at this point. Been doing the online thing for many, many moons. MUX, IRC, forums, MMORPGs... They just come naturally now :) In a hundred years it'll be an accepted part of culture and you'll even be seeing them in high-minded literature, I'd wager :P
You can take my hope when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. (Or if Kaylee asks me nicely...)
