Power went out tonight. Fun. Or not fun. Transformer blew, knocking out a few others along the way...big wooden pole that it sets upon caught fire...what fun! So I was without power for the longest time. Before dinner and now it's bedtime. Did i miss anything? How was the party? So sad. I was looking forward to seeing everyone tonight and talking. Happy Birthday MG! Anyone have any good 'power's out' stories?

Well, they'd wanna be... if the movie sucks beyond belief. No offence to any fans of the show. Anyways, AJ and I were watching Evil Dead ('cause we're up to "E", it's gonna be 2010 before we even get to the second half of the DVD collection). Really, it doesn't stand the test of time methinks. It's very bad. Anyways, so there's this female character and she hears a noise in the pitch black of night and so decides the best thing to do is go running out to the woods, ALONE, to investigate in her nightclothes. Okay then. Then she gets attacked and raped by a tree. Yes, a tree. Me: What, is she just gonna go back to her friends and tell them she was raped by a tree? I wanna see the police report on this. AJ: Watch the movie. Me: 'Excuse me, I'd like to report a rape.' 'Can you describe your attacker?' 'Well... kinda leafy and green...' AJ: Would you watch the movie? Me: I mean, would you even report that? Seriously, the police would ask all sorts of questions and then they'd wanna see if they could get a SAP sample... AJ: *snerk* I mean - WATCH THE MOVIE. Later, as she is being comforted by one of the guys. Me: Don't listen to her, she's crazy, she was out having relations with forrestry. AJ: He's just in it for the treesome. o_O

I am a horrible person. There was a contest through an online magazine where you had to write, in 50 words or less, a scene where Jason Voorhees stabs some Hollywood celebrity. You could pick anyone you wanted. I decided to emulate Joss' writing style by stabbing him and Allyson Hannigan. The scene was meant to be complimentary, because I imagined him the tragic victim of haters. But when I trimmed it down to 49 words, I had to cut out most of the substance, and that just left Jason stabbing two people in what I now realize reads as an angry reaction to Firefly's existence. I got an email back from the guy handling the contest. He said, "On a personal note, having seen Serenity, I totally agree with you." Why, oh why didn't I stab Fox executives instead? I feel crappy. I'm sorry, everybody.

If SciFi can budget a show like Battlestar with all the special effects,then why not a FIREFLY with less effects and more drama.My interest in FIREFLY has always been about the characters and the actors that play them.The storylines of each one and the combined big picture of where it would lead to in several years. I wanted to learn about Book's past slowly over time.It's great how all the characters seem to fit together even though they are completely different.I can do without some big space battle every week that cost big bucks and takes camera time from our BDHs.Don't get me wrong, I love to see Serenity in flight and landing on some moon to ditch the FEDS,but I can't see Firefly's effects costing more than those of other shows.If the effects have to be cut then cut them, but GIVE US BACK OUR SHOW!!
