ELDRITCHSANDWICH

Well, that's it…yesterday was my high school graduation. That means 1) I am now a full-fledged participant in this horrible, horrible thing called the Real World, and more importantly 2) I will now be writing much more frequently (I hope). So, if you've been wondering where Part 2 of Scorched Earth is, I'm here to reassure you that it's coming. When? Well, if not tomorrow, definitely by this weekend. Liu fa liang, zong se ao!

Ok. So I saw the film last night and I've been processing it since then in my mind. I've always been a comic fan and then the cartoons and movies so I tend to watch who's in the background of every scene to see if I can name them. I really didn't need to do that this time though because the director kept shoving the camera at them as if to say... 'look, look at the powers, look'. As a fan I enjoyed the film, the effects are great and there are some really OMG moments. As a critic the directing was a little off and the writing left much to be desired. Bits of conversation was stilted (although this could mean deleted scenes) and there were too many 'profound lines'. By this I mean, when a character has a moment of realisation and says something like 'May God help us'. Once or twice? Fine. Repeated instances of this? I begin to question the script. Overall I enjoyed it and will be seeing it again and buying the DVD, but as an example of film-making the director should have a serious paycut... I know you have pretty/handome actors/actresses, but a round of close up reaction shots after every major event is not necessary. Inner fan girl liked the effects, loved the darker storyline and is still somewhat in awe of the film. Hmmmm this is quite long, maybe I should post a thread?

So i go to my box today to check my mail, and guess whats in it? My S3 ticket! woot, i'm excited but nervous, cause i don't know if i'm around, theres talk of a deployment in September(At least I know ahead of time right?), so i havn't booked a room cause I won't know the date i'm actually leaving until July when i get back from visiting my family. I'm hoping rooms will still be availble in July, so i can just book then, but IDK. if my digital camera was working I'd put up a picture of my ticket just to brag a lil bit more, but its not :crap:

So my teenagers went and created a Yahoo Personal profile for me. I am getting ebombed now. The link is in the Imponderables most recent thread. It is very embarrassing. I do not know how to talk to people I do not know. On a personal level. At work I am fine. I am not a "small talk" person. Now I can talk all day about nothing. Just not with people I don't know. So here I am. The world can see me and I don't know who is looking. Its a bit gratyfying tho. Gives a girl a boost. :crap: :biggrin:

Can I just say I really hate the last few days of school. The administration makes us turn in all the books before the last week so the kids know they don't have to do anything because grades are cut off, but we still have a whole week with them. What a waste. Oh well...Still teaching is the best job on the planet. Mind you I could really go for that lovely outdoor classroom with a few bright students and electronic tablets for the kids with touch screens>>>Come on Joss when's the 'verse getting here?

yes I keep posting and typing and such. Profound boredom has set in and I just had the best idea. I think I could come up with a way to use some Firefly episodes in my English classes when we are learning narrative structure and I was wondering if anyone ( mostly looking for parent opinions) would object if their junior high age ( that's 12-15 years old ) child watched a Firefly episode in class. I would probable stick to the train robbery as it has the best narrative structure and the least inappropriate comments. So what do you think?>

Been a crazy, crazy day. Had nine issues today all before 10. Think all but one is closed today. Been emailed by some interesting people. Had some lovely comments from you SHINY people. Not well today. Asthma is acting up and I have this fantastic cough. It is starting to hurt in my chest when I cough, so I llok forward to another prescription! Yeah Me! My kids (all 47 of them) want to see XMen 3 tonight. So I am going to try to stay awake long enough. May need a nap before hand. Interesting that the local theater is playing it around the clock. This movie is going to be big. I wish Serenity had this kind of buzz. But then again, do I REALLY. DO I want the masses in love with the BDM. Can they really appreciate it? I think not. This profiles thing is really weird. I have not been out on a date for almost 20 years. Not sure I am ready. Unless ofcourse FurtureMr calls. If that happens you wouldn't see my backside for the door! :evil: Oh MR! Fridays! I LOVE Fridays! Or I would if I didn't have to go to my other job tonight and tomorrow. May have to stop at the DR tonight, so work and the movie could just be a pipe dream :disappointed: My work crush, who is married, is married. Oh and he is um 3000 miles away. But he is lovely and he makes my day. SO thanks Work Crush. Happy Memorial Day peeps. Remember those that have served this country! Say a prayer for the boys and girls still serving!

I've been with this site a few months now, and its safe to say it's the best thing that has happened to me. Before you say: 'Wow, what a loser,' understand that I am a loser, in the truest sense of the word. Before this, I was in...a bad place. Needless to say, it consisted of negative contemplation. But, then I watched Firefly, as kind of a last act, if you will. I was finally happy with something in life, actually made happy. It doesn't sound like much, but it was a lot to me. That brought me out of contemplation, and into decision. I started to recover, and became less of a loser. Well, in my own mind, I guess. A thank-you to everyone here who gave me faith and happiness, be it through creation, wit, or just someone who's there, namely: Dr. Pain SameErtia Flywithmecaptn Guywhowantsafireflyofhisown (llamas) Copilot Citizen Phoenixrose Chrisisall Joss Whedon and the Cast Thanks for listening. -13

every time i think of firefly im like "wow its so amazing!" then i think "F%#@ its over..." there is truly nothing like it. And then a glimmer of hope! an article saying [i]maybe[i] a sequel... other than buying as many copies of serenity and firefly as i can afford, what else can we do to encourage even this glimmer of hope what would mal do?

This is the third night in a row my friend has come over with a few beers and tried to escape his ex. Im all fine and dandy with that, and with hanging out. Except I dont really feel like drinking any more alcohol for a while, even though I havent gotten drunk any of these days. And he sticks around for a long while which means I dont get to bed untill late in the night.
