District B13

I saw a pre-screening of this movie at the SXSW Film Festival a couple months back and enjoyed the heck out of it. Very sharp. And who can resist French with subtitles? Opening June 2nd. The two main charactors do all their own stunts. Nice! Check out the preview:

She is a might unpredictable, moodswings of a sort....

FireFly's 'Verse reminds me of Texas, good & bad grammer mixed with everyone packing guns (just no hopped-up pickup trucks). :) I do lead a very full life outside of FireFly (I'm an author & artist, I love to write stories & sketch but I'm not very talented). :( It's not like I'm obsessed with this show or anything... (ha!), at least I haven't gone so far as to wear their costumes (esp. Jayne's hat!)... I have converted 6 folks to the FF 'verse to-date, they've purchased the DVDs & music tracks (but not Jayne's hat). :) Counting down, chasing new FF converts! Hint: the way I convert new fans is by letting them watch my shows, I'm too scared to lend them out!

New Job and Quilt Project done
Monday, 22 May 2006 06:31:28

Well I got a new job and I survived the first week of it. It will be so nice not being poor. That was a rough ride there for a while. So far I like it...but DAMN do I make a lot of phone calls out to places. That's nearly all i did my first week. But I did get a reprive though. I took pictures and made ebay auctions with said pictures. Boss was rather happy with them icon_mrgreen.gif My man went to his parents to spend that with them. I would have gone too but he also went to spend time with one of his drama prone friends I don't care much for. So I skipped the trip. Instead I got a lot done around the house. One of which is FINISHING THE BABY BOY QUILT. Thank goodness. First I had no blue thread, then I was too poor to get any, then I got a job that keeps me too busy to work on it, and now I finally sat down and finished the sucker! So I hold it up in all it's glory! I'll take it to work and get a picture of it to share. I hope my sister likes it enough to let him have it. She is a name brand woman. I don't think she particularly likes home made things but hopefully I did a good enough job so she won't mind.

Winning a poker tournament
Monday, 22 May 2006 08:15:48

Got no where else to brag about this so I'll do it here. I just won an online poker tournament for the first time. Nothing major, only a $6 buy in with 50 players, but it's a start.

New fic: Easy Tickets
Monday, 22 May 2006 14:06:17

Fellow fairflyficophiles … I’m going to start posting my new story, yay!! It’s a busy work day, so chapter one as soon as I get a chance, probably this afternoon. Here’s the spiel on it: Easy Tickets is a sequel to The Fish Job. I’ll review a little, so you don’t [i]need[/i] to read The Fish Job first, but it would help. It’s mostly written already. I aim to post every weekday, so it’ll keep coming... I don’t have so much internet on the weekends; that’ll be spotty. This is really a Mal/Inara story, though that may not be obvious at times. Buoyed by all the positive feedback on The Fish Job, I’ve let myself get a little more descriptive (wordy?), and I’ve also given my original characters free rein. I hope this doesn’t make anyone’s eyes glaze over! If so, hang in there - the BDH’s are still the main thing. I meant to go lighter than FJ, but I guess trauma and angst are just my way. *sigh* There will be fun, but I visit dark icky places too, beware!! This is rated PG-13 overall, with a fair amount of R and a little NC17. I’ll try to include warnings but I don’t like to give everything away at the top of each chapter, that can ruin the tension, you know? Comments comments comments!! I do this cause it’s fun, but the comments come in a very close 2nd!! Thanks for reading, and thanks for all the feedback on The Fish Job! You browncoats are the best! And finally - I have to say thanks big time to VERA2529, LEEH, and GUENEVER for beta++. The plusplus being much thought provoking discussion and so many helpful suggestions. This story has gotten way more complicated than I originally planned, and I couldn’t have worked it out without their help! EDIT: forgot to say - just to set the timing - FJ came after Objects in Space, this follows a month after. So pre-BDM. But this isn't going to stay in cannon, that's too hard to do! So I guess I'm going AU.

GRADUATION DAY
Monday, 22 May 2006 15:43:11

Howdy all! Today is a good day! Today is a sad day! Today is the day that my lovely, lovely, lovely first born son graduates from High School. All Hail FMF's lovely #1. It is sad because (a) it means I am officially old and (b) my 2 boys are my best friends and my most favorite people in the whole wide world and it means we are getting closer to the day that they leave me. :crap: They are blessings! I am very proud of both of them. I often wonder, how in the :censored: life we have led these last 17 years, they managed to come out so witty and charming and trully, trully kind. I take no credit, for I am sure I have done more damage than good. Everyday, both my boys renew my faith in the world. Kisses and more Love than I have for the verse to both my boys, and a hearty CONGRATULATIONS to #1! :BIGGRIN:

Respekt the Thunder
Monday, 22 May 2006 21:17:26

Saw another episode of firefly with my browncoat mate Kethla today, gotten to Safe sofar. She doesnt want to fast since she is savoring every last drop. In the afternoon there was a thunderstorm, not uncommon for these parts during the summer. I noticed that the kids living in my building lack all respekt for thunderstorms. Im not frightened of them, I even like them, sitting there all snuggled up in the candlelight. But I grew up in a house wich meant that everytime there came a thunderstorm we would disconnect all the electronics and stay inside. These kids treated it more like a party and lacked any understanding of the real might and danger that lightning can bring with it. Guess its a bit of a culture clash thingy, oh well. Goin to hit my bunk now since im all tired and stuff. See you all around the Verse!

Old thoughts on the site being down
Monday, 22 May 2006 23:51:55

I was driving back home one evening last week, singing to the Buffy soundtrack when I remembered that I had once done a parody of one of the songs but I couldn't think what or where. Then it clicked that I'd done something after the official site went down for aaaages.... I can't find the original (I wish Google would search the copied version of the site) but as best as I can remember and improvising where I can't... [i] Every single day the same arrangement We go out and write the fight. Suddenly today, a strange estrangement Pages not displayed, broken links in sight. We all need the host to show our posts, Just hoping it's not toast. We're just going for the refresh Clicking it in vain. Starting to make River look quite sane. It was always here and so delightful Now we find we're all alone. Suddenly the site has turned so spiteful, Why can't it be shown? Have Haken's fuses blown? We've got tales to tell, and things to yell, But this pain we can't quell. We're just going for the refresh Needing it right now Calling our computer a right cow. Will it stay this way forever? A Wash-like end to our endeavour? Call IT or someone clever, We don't want to be... Going for the refresh Hoping it's alright. And we can't even read The treehouse thread we need And we just want to see The siiiiiiiite. [/i]

Call me stupid - show status?

I feel everyone except me knows this answer - but it is incredibly quiet on the FireFly front. Last I heard, if European DVD sales went well there was a chance of another F.F. production (format unknown). Well, DVD sales in Europe have been phenomenal. How much more can us Browncoats do? Not knowing is bugging me! So, anyone heard even a whisper???
