14 to 77: Firefly for All Ages
Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:56:41

I'm staying at my sister's house while my band (The Bedlam Bards) plays at the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire, so I took this opportunity to show Firefly to my sister's family. My fourteen-year-old niece has been the most gung-ho recruit. So today I was IMing with a musician friend I converted by teaching her a tune off the sound track (the wedding music in "Our Mrs. Reynolds"), and she told me that she had recruited both of her parents, who are seventy-seven years old! It got me to wondering who the oldest Browncoat out there is. In other news, I was singing "The Ballad of Joss" just after closing at the faire this weekend, and a vendor I'd never met came over and listened with a huge smile. She's one of those many, many devoted Firefly fans out there who doesn't hang out online with other Browncoats.

So then,

I'm shattered! I can't handle 3 days of shindiggery... was wonderful meeting Team Random - totally how you expect, although i can't wait for Sam and Hilary to meet up, to see who talks the most!!!! Love ya both :biggrin: The BBQ was a success (thanx Sean) and the vodka was very easily drunk, surprisingly few chocs eaten and minimal Alan squeeeeeeeeing, i think we found it hard to do all that AND talk!!! Thanx to Dr Evil for doing a wicked CD...you could have put a pic up of yourself so we knew who you were! Brilliant A great time was had by all. Not bad for my first blog Until next time/shindig Everybody needs a stalker...:fork:

I am a fan of Stargate SG-1. On Friday, July 15, 2005 I watched the first episode of season 9. A week later on Friday, july 22, 2005 I watch episode 2. At 6:45 pm I turned on the tv and went to the sci-fi channel. I must of saw the commercial for Firefly 20 times so I thought to my self "This sounds cool" so I watched Firefly. now I watch FireFly and Stargate SG-1 on fridays 6:59 pm-9:00pm. Now they play scenes and behind the scenes footage of Serenity. I can't wait for it to come out. Only 45 days!!!!!

It's a painful process but what the hell, right? I was thinking about what I respond to so fiercely in Firefly. Of course, there's lots of things- Amazing dialogue, so clever and funny and grim the day doesn't feel complete until you've worked a piece of it into conversation and of course characters who weaknesses are almost more endearing than their strengths. But that can't be it, can it? And then I found this quote (I love quotes. I collect them. I am a word whore.) - "I know that every good and excelllent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for -- whether it's a field, or a home, or a country." -Thornton Wilder And that's what I love, the fierce, impossible beauty of the fight.

D is for Droppy... and that's good enough for me.

Yeah, all the waiting and agonizing over my soon to be revealed Calc 2 grade appeared to be well worth it. I got a D. Better than an F. I assume it's better than an E. But oddly not as good as a C...a letter which brings us such words as commonplace, caustic and cacophony. I would much rather be delicious, decadent (definition dos) or dashing. Here's hoping you have a downright delightful day. Droppy
