Got my friend to watch it, and he fell in love with it. Yay! So, I have the rest of the world to convert. Um, rather big job. Oh, well. I'm trying.

Okay I just re-watched Safe. I love the dance scene but my absolute fav part would have to be when River steals the roll off of Jayne's plate. She doesn't even do it fast like, she's just slowly reaches out and snitches the whole thing LOL I think River knew that Mal would come for them or maybe it was just one of those she knew they were gonna be safe and thought it was her father *shrugs* When she said 'Daddy will come for us. We'll go home' It's something to think about. Also, did anyone catch just what it was that Mal said that Simon was 'very proud' of? The subtitles don't catch it. I caught folk at the very end but... Night all. ~I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me...

Hi All, I find myself slightly conflicted today because my distaste for any television company owned by Rupert Murdoch is clashing with my overarching egomania. Ordinarily I baulk at the idea of giving them any money but I am drawn towards getting a subscription to Sky Sports and my ethics are fighting my ego for dominance of my brain. I play Tournament Paintball and currently play for my home town (Portsmouth) in the Paintball Association League here in the UK. This year my Team is in the First Division, usually called "Pro" (but we aren't paid or anything just sponsored) Apparently Sky Sports are going to start televising the League which means I get to be on TV. The downside is that to see myself I've got to sign up to the British equivalent of gorram Fox Can I salve my conscience and save my soul by yelling out Firefly quotes every time a camera is on me? My Team Captain Amy is also a big Joss Whedon fan so I don't think she'll cut me from the squad for doing it. Any suggestions? I am Rupert Murdochs Bitch :crap: Oh yeah, these links are me playing. The first is me playing the Paintball World Cup prelims in Orlando, Florida and the second (bottom pic)is me playing for my old University in the European League in Bitburg, Germany

One good thing about today, I got out of half a day of school. Reason: dentist. Blah. Anyway... I have Aikido later today. For those of you who are saying 'Ai-what?' it's a form of Karate... sorta... The reason I brought up the dentist was that I just randomly mumbled 'Two by Two, Hands of Blue' and then I had to explain all about the Blue Sun corporation and Firefly to her. She had blue latex gloves on when she was cleaning my teeth. It was funny. Then we got into a conversation about WWII since I'm reading a book about it... She said I should go see Schindler's list. I think I read on one post that someone was comparing the Alliance/Blue Sun to the Nazi's... I honestly don't see a comparison. And I have a quesiton regarding 'Safe'. Did they mention that Book was a preacher? I mean, I remember Mal saying that he'd been wounded as a bystander in a gunfight and that 'neither me nor mine were the aggressors'.

Apparently it is a day for appointments, or routine maintence as I like to call it. I always feel like the proverbial blind bat when I go to the optometrist. They take your contacts (well, technically I take them out) and lead you into this dark room and stick your face on this huge machine. Then the endless rounds of "is this one clearer (click) or this one (click.)" It's an exercise in patience! At some point you want to scream, "I don't care which one is clearer, just get me the gorram outta here!" So back on Monday for a recheck and then 12 boxes of shiny new contacts for the year. I have to keep my eyes in top shape to watch my DVDs. Be well!
