Whew. Just finished my third Firefly-themed music video, and MAN was it hard (yes). I thought the River vid was hard. Then I thought the Inara vid was hard. I didn't know hard. The problem is that song's often called "epic," so I tried to give the video the same feel. I don't know if [b]watching[/b] it will feel epic, but the process of creating it sure was. Here it is: "Follow My Way" (music by Chris Cornell) Mal character study with spoilers for every episode, plus the movie. 4:40 WMV Two sizes Full (856x480) - 40.3MB *Updated*

In the last two weeks I have watch Serenity at least 30 times and with in the last three months I have watched FireFly Three Times. I admit one it first came out I was a secptic, and being an idiot I didn't watch it when it was on TV. When it came out on DVD, I got adicited to it. I love the mix of humor and surious tones. I work at a video store and Serenity is my must watch, it is the movie I recomend to everyone. I have not had one verbal commplaint yet. Power to the 'Verse!!!! God Bless!!!!

Okay, I'm going to hop up onto my soap box for a second here. Is it just me, or does the site seem a mite harsh lately? I don't mean this log in any disrespectful way at all; I just wanted to point out that, over the last month or so, I've noticed comments getting a whole lot less with the polite and more with the...well..less polite. I don't want to act like I'm lecturing everyone on constructive criticism, but I do personally feel that no matter what you have to say, there is a nice way to say it. Having put a lot of my artwork and fanfic and now photoshoped stuff up in the BSR, I know how much a person puts there ego out there whenever they post. And I will be the first one to ask how can I make 'this' better. I love to hear CC. It's how we grow as artists. I just think that we need to treat the internet like we would a regualar conversation. Use all the same filters people! Please. I hope this is just a phase, or we've got some trollers who are all pmsing right now. Anywho, I'll step down off my box for now. If I am way off, excuse me, but I think I might be closer to the point on this one.

First off, I'm 26 years old, which ain't old or world-weary by a long shot, but I've been around the block enough times to have developed some cynicism about the world in general, and to have come to the realization that my life ain't going to turn out like I'd thought it would. It's pretty easy to just get stuck in the daily grind of work and stress, and money, and all the other baggage that comes from trying to make ends meet. Here's the thing though. Lately, when I'm driving in my car, I like to pretend it's spaceship. It's got needles and dials, and levers and everything, and in TV they always seem to have lots of little switches to hit in those ships. (Loved what Alan Tudyk was talking about with his character, how he had those three switches he'd hit whenever the scene called for him to get something ready in the cockpit. :) Actually, my car's a little bit like Serenity. It's always on the verge of falling apart, and it's basically held together with baling wire, duct tape, and love. (Well, maybe not so much the love insofar as my own car goes...) I do a little pre-flight check before I go anywere. I no longer park my car, so much as take it in for a landing. Here's another thing: I work in a grocery store, far from glamorous, but it pays the bills okay. I run the night crew there. Basically from 10pm to 6 in the morning, I'm in charge of the stockers, the floor guy, and the overnight cashier. I'm really not terribly cut out for a leadership role, but I sort of happened into the job. Now that I'm totally stuck on this show, though, I find that I kind of channel Mal when I'm on the job. When I have to do one of those "I'm the boss, listen do what I tell you" things, I try to think of how Mal would handle the situation. Wierd thing is: it kind of works. Perhaps it's just me, but Firefly re-opened a door into my imagination. For me that means alot. I've been dealing with some serious writer's block for years now, almost to the point where I was starting to look at a life where I wasn't going to be doing anything creative. I've actually started drawing again, for the first time in almost four years, and I'm revisting a couple stories that I never got around to starting. The Serenity may be grounded for the time being, but since it fly into my life, I've gone from burnt-out minimum-wager to starving artist. And that ain't nuthin... Holding 'till Mal gets back.

I know I shouldn't whine, but I can't wait until I get out of my small town and get to travel around the world. That's what I want to do, travel and do the things that I love to do. Be myself...a songwriter, author, painter, and couch potatoe...when the t.v. calls for it. anyway...that's all i have to say. ~Beth Daleen

The other day in one of my classes, the professor was talking about a book and how it, or something about it was supposedly being made into a movie. She mentioned that if it came out during the semester and any of the students went to see it, then she would give extra credit. (I was thinking, "cool, that sounds like fun".) She then went on to say that last semester she gave extra credit to her students that went and saw [i]Serenity[/i]. My hand shot into the air--how could I let that comment go by without saying [i]some[/i]thing? All red-faced, embarrased, and excited I blurted out--when she was finished, of course--that [i]Serenity[/i] was [i]the coolest movie EVER[/i]! Someone else in the class agreed with me, too! The best part was that my professor let me speak my piece and then she agreed with me when she said that she was a "rabid Joss Whedon fan". There was a little Joss Whedon moment in my English class! And the best part was that it was about [i]Firefly[/i] and [i]Serenity[/i]! Yay! I go to the best Universtiy EVER! (Okay, not ever, but that was SO COOL!) Go Utes! (I go to the Universtiy of Utah.)
