"She understands, she doesn't comprehend"

My brain is fried, what do you expect? :)

Living like the crew makes ya really appriciate things
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 00:25:00

When I got my new job I immediately made a list of things I wanted/needed to buy with my first few paychecks. I had to go without a lot of things including tuna helper while I looked for decent pay. It's on another computer right now but this is what I remember:[list] [*]Fix the car: She was hobbling. It was hard to get her up to 50 MPH. [*]Pay back Eric: He loaned me $25 when I miscalculated a bill [*]New Bras: cause a wire was sticking out of one and the other few were just uncomfortable now [*]Bento Box: Cause I wanted a pretty one [*]Large Scarf: To cover my hair when I am in the convertable [*]Sunglasses: I lost mine months ago and they would look cool with the scarf :) [*]New Camera: The old one broke months ago, I was tired of not having pictures of all the stuff I go to, and I had my eye on a Canon Powershot [*]Wash Patches: For my sweetie's new Wash costume [*]Kanzashi: Pretty hair ornaiments geisha wear. I wanted just one to stick in my hair from time to time. My old bira kanzashi finally broke after so much wear with my kimono [*]Water Filter: Cause water in FL taste like a science project. I mean I never knew water from a city could taste so horrid and still be safe. [*]Air Conditioning: My car is black, and I live in FL I need not say more :) [*]Pedicure: cause I've never had one. I take care of my feet myself. I figure I'm old enough to endulge in one. [*]Warriors of Legend Book: Cause I still harbor a crazy love for Sailor Moon [*]Zoë's Dogtags. Meant to get them ages ago and couldn't. They'll make a nice addition to the costume. I've taken care of a lot of these by now. Car is fixed, eric was paid, I LOVE my new bras, I ordered a sweet yellow bento box, I got a large pink scarf that fades to a lovely toffee brown and looks most excellent on, got sunglasses that rock, my camera is the SHIZNIT I'll link to pictures it took at the end of this post. Now I just gotta remember to get a water filter next time I am at the mall. I haven't seen any affordable bira kanzashi I like, and we'll work on the rest.... I have something new also...I have a crown on one tooth and it has decided to venture away from me....so onto my first dental appt without parents around. This will be fun....cept not :P Onto awesome pictures! I apologize for the big ones... I forgot how to link up on here

Mal costume in the works
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 00:25:33

So, yeah... I was thinking about getting a haircut this week, but with Moonlight Rising in a couple of weeks and Serenity Day a couple of weeks after that, I think I'm gonna let it grow a while. And in the meantime, start hitting the Army-Navy store and the Salvation Army for suitable boots, coat and accessories. With the proper clothing and hairstyle, the nose ought to be pretty much the only thing distinguishing me and Mal - unless I can find a prosthetic nose while I'm at it. Geekery, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love Nyquil
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 04:11:46

But I love Tylenol Cold and Sinus Severe liquid more than Nyquil. It's the only thing that mostly relieves my upper respiratory infection agony enough to sleep. For that, I'm grateful. Even though I didn't get to scuba dive this weekend (stupid illness not allowing me to clear my ears) and therefore didn't get my AOW certification. But most importantly, I booked my flight to Hawaii!!!! I'm going to be a bum for 2 months. Well, 3 weeks really because I'm going to work on a farm for a month, but still. Yay! P.S. I also love that a bunch of The Forsaken are putting Forsaken related messages in their signatures!

Firefly Rescue
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 05:14:46

My recent Firefly-fandom random moments: No, really, I just saved a firefly from being squished! My mom was about to tissue the poor thing, but I stopped her and said it had extreme sentimental value, and was good luck. XD You should have seen the look on her face. She was like "Let, me guess...Serenity?" Yep indeed, folks. Also had a Miranda moment during my ACT a few weeks ago. One of the multiple choice answers happened to be "Miranda". I sort of whispered it, and the girl next to me also gave me a strange look. :stupid: Last weekend we were making visors at my friends house at her birthday party, and since I'm an impacient person who didn't feel like making a huge effort on this, decided to write "Can't take the sky from me" in big white lettering, complete with glittery clouds and a little albatross. Needless to say, my friends had a field day!

Tired, but Good
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 05:19:31

Got tired of not having anything in this space. Thought it needed words of some kind. Tired but good today. Been a long weekend, and I'm not too keen on going back to that one place where I spend most of my time. You know...that thing that starts with a W. Sad, I used to love my job, but now it's just one headache after another after another. Anybody want a slightly used bookseller?

Deliverance Fanfic FAQ
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 16:02:37

Im still writing the first episode of Deliverance, but untill then I can give you this FAQ to answer the questions I have recieved from you. Q:What is Deliverance? A:Deliverance is a Fanfic set in the Verse, the story is centered on the crew of the transportship Deliverance. Q: How long will the fic be? A: At the moment there are 4 "episodes" planned. Q:Whats the story between Alexei and Farah? A:Well, youll have to read the fics to find that one out. Q:Why do all the characters seem to have dark pasts and secrets to keep? A:The people onboard Deliverance stay on the ship because they all have darker sides that keep them from functioning in a normal society, its the factor that binds them together. Q:Who is Oakes and is he as screwed up as the rest? A:Oakes is the ships mechanic, and hes the most "normal" of them all. Q:Will the BDH be featured in this fic? A:No, at the moment I have not planned to feature any of them in the story. I do however plan to feature several "lesser" characters. Q:What characters from the show will we be seeing? A:Well, im not telling. Much more fun to keep people guessing. Can tell you they will not always be introduced by name so keep your eyes sharp. Q:Is Alexei religous or does he just have a thing for christian symbols? And if so why? A:Yes, the captain is deeply religous(hence the name Deliverance on the ship). Why he is a believer youll have to find out later, all I can say is that he feels that he needs to atone for unnamed sins. Also, I can say that he found God during the war. Q:Are any of the people in the fic based on real people? A:Yes and no, several of the characters are based on traits in my own personallity, but none of the characters are actual people. Q:Will there be a TVshow made of this? A:Frankly the funniest question ive gotten sofar, and no. Although I would love if Joss Whedon called me up and said, Hi want to make a firefly spinoff? I dont see it happening. Also, some of the scenes are a bit to hard to make a fanfilm of, atleast at the moment. But if I find a way, and good actors, the fic might be turned into a fanfilm in the future. Q:When is the first part of Deliverance due? A:Cant say for sure, Im hopeing it will be done in a week or so. In the meantime check out the preview I submitted to the Blue Sun section. Q:Is this fic going to get all brooding, dark and horrible? A:I will have to quote Joss Whedon on that one. "I'm very much of the 'make it dark, make it grim, make it tough,' but then, for the love of God, tell a joke." - Joss Whedon So yes and no again. The fic will visit some of the darker parts of humanity, but there will be humor in there, possibly some muddersmilk and a fair share of hope. Q:Will we be seeing some Romance onboard Deliverance? A:Possibly, dont want to spoil to much, can however say that a relationship between the current crewmembers is unlikely, and if it happens will most likely just end in misery since they all carry a huge amount of baggage. Thats all for now folk, see you tonight with another blog where ill be talking about my new jobb amongst other things. See you all around the Verse!

Saw Beer Bad, earlier today.
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 16:30:13

I just saw Beer Bad earlier today, and I don't believe I ever stopped laughing for the entire episode! I loved it! [spoiler]Cave Slayer was awesome![/spoiler] The very end was so funny I think my laughter shook the house! Joss Whedon is pure genius, but you guys already knew that.

Firefly/Angel Crossover
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 19:21:01

This is an idea I've been toying with for quite some time now. What if Firefly is Angel/Buffy five hundred years later? I thought of this question, and decided that I would go with yes, as I like to think of Angel and Illyria battling evil in the verse. Which further got me thinking that the Pax was not an accident, actually intended by Blue Sun, which is actually the new Wolfram & Hart. Anybody else think of this? I was going to write a fanfic, but...no ideas yet. Anyone? Thanks for listening.

Just Curious, River6213
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 21:39:53

Just curious, River. Why have you killed Seryn, Tristan and FutureMrsFillion? There may be others, but those are the ones I saw in the threads I was checking out. Have you been taking your meds? Siiimonnn!!!! Oops! Just found Dayve with a crossbow arrow through him. anyone know of any others? Ok, now I'm dead! No less than I expected.

I missed you guys.
Tuesday, 23 May 2006 21:42:21

Yeah, I'm back. The computer guy and I managed to talk mom into a new machine. It's all shiny and fast now. Also, I just ate an almond or pecan cookie (at work; there was a snack tray laid out for the big general meeting). I thought it was a raisin cookie. I'm violently allergic to nuts, so I just wasted the whole afternoon puking, curled up on the couch shivering, and trying not to scratch the hives. Pain. . .

Hello everybody!

Saw Joss's video on SciFi.com - he's still playing the future of FireFly close to the vest, sitting by a phone that's not ringing! It's worth a look, whaddya think?
