Granted, it's a D&D quiz (don't care for all the rules, and something about dice, so I've never actually wanted to play it), but that's still proof:

So, I'm in the university library this morning looking for the DVD box set of the British version of "The Office" (which wasn't there :crap:), and I noticed that the "Firefly" box set was in the TV series section! And, I ran into one of my film professors the other day at lunch. We got to talking, and he told me that he's thinking about adding [i]Serenity[/i] to the Intro to Film class syllabus. It would be perfect to show b/c sci-fi storytelling grew from westerns, and it would be great as an example of those connecting tissues. It just comes to show you really can't stop the signal! *** I was in a local craft shop the other day buying fabric to fix a dress that is a little too low cut on me. (I don't like people being able to see down my dress.) I noticed this brocade fabric with Mandarin patterns on it. This fabric was being sold in squares for quilt making, and it dawned on me to make a quilt in the spirit of Firefly. I bought red, brown, black, and champaign colored squares. I also bought this very simple quilt pattern with squares. I didn't want anything complex b/c I've never made a quilt before. School and work are keeping me too busy right now to start on the project, but once it's finished I'll post a photo in the Blue Sun Room. Later, Phyre

And it was great. Don't know why I wait 6 weeks but it was well worth it. I won't give anything away for those who want to see it but I will say it is very, very funny. I also went for dinner with John and the Andes (lol, that's from the film, and my friends are both called Andrew), and we had a drink in the pub. A good day all round. TTFN Jennifer -x-

My legacy of infrequent updates continues, with at least a month since my last. My life is difficult sometimes, I willingly admit. There's not much good on TV, my health-plan doesn't cover the cost of my medication (which doesn't work to begin with!), and my brain disagrees with me on a daily basis. First of all, as any of you still in University knows, the Finals are leaning hard over my shoulder, scrutinizing me for any weakness before they snap my head off and suck on it like a peppermint for several hours before finally deciding to swallow it. Stress doesn't begin to cover it. It's all the more distressing because I don't know how to use PowerPoint, which seems to be a required skill to even attend some classes, now. I swear, it's like I'm fumbling in the dark, some days. It doesn't help that my body's first reaction to extreme stress is to shut down my immune system entirely. My body is very stupid. If I could, I'd sell it and buy a smarter one. I'm also slowly chipping away at Legacy. I just did a word count, and was confronted by the fact that I'm at more than 81,000 words for the third season alone, and that one is just about a third of the way done. In the upcoming chapter, we finally reconnect with the crew of Legacy, and actually hear in the text what Jacob named his son. As soon as I post it, I'm pulling the spoiler from Confederation, Part 3. Make 'em wait until they read it to make a 'what the hell?' face. And there's a happy surprise for one of the crew in this episode, which'll make up for a couple of quite unpleasant ones that are going to come in the next few. Finally, when I'm done of Finals and I have some time to myself (and when my passport finally frakking arrives), I'm hopping a plane to San Diego, and jumping the border to spend a week on the shores of Baja. I got an irresistable itch to leave the country a while back, but as long as I was still in school, I had to back-burner it for a while. Still, it'll be all the sweeter to ditch this glorified speed-bump of an Island to bask in the sweet... glorious heat of Mexico for a while. Oh yeah, and about a week ago I had a nervous breakdown. Still dealing with that. It ain't easy having the few friends I have departing to teach in the Orient by the end of summer. Ain't easy at all. Still, I'll survive. I'm like the hydra; you can't kill me. You can hurt me a lot, but I ain't goin' down. Besides, maybe this'll be what gives me the kick in the ass to either get a hold on my life, or to flee it and try starting a new one in Ontario, or Tijuana, or maybe one of those piddly little islands in the Carribean where folk live happily in a shack. I wouldn't mind living in a shack, so long as that shack was in a warm climate. Mmmmm. Warm Shack.... *drools* Anyway. Go read Legacy. I'm going to keep telling you to until you do. Trust me, I have a lot of patience, young fellow. I'm waiting...
