If I go to bed [i]right now[/i] and fall asleep within the next 15 minutes, I'll get 6 hours of sleep. Unless I don't wash my hair in the morning. Then I can get 6 1/2.

Get out another brown coat please... One of my buddies was over last night so I could finally get him to watch some Firefly. Now, he was already about half way converted... After listening to me talk about it, and after reading some fan fiction, he was almost fully one of us. Last night after watching 'Serenity' and 'The Train Job' he's relating with Mal, and asking me how much he can pick up a boxed set for. I tell ya... This show almost makes getting the converts too easy. Chalk up another one for me on the big board. :biggrin:

Tomorrow is the day of prom at our school, and the last day before Spring Break. So since it is a wasted day for us all to babysit nutty children, I let my students choose either reading Great Expectations silently, or watching the Firefly pilot. They opted for the pilot. So we shall see how the high school kids like Firefly. Hopefully, this time tomorrow I will be able to report on 34 new converts.

I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be writing in here. [i]Dear Diary: Today I watched "Shindig." It was funny. Ha ha.[/i] What kind of crap is this? Today I want to discuss good writing, and why there isn't any. Can anyone tell me the different between good writing and bad writing? I don't mean, writing you like and writing you don't like.... cuz, y'know, I HATE Britney Spears and everything she stands for, but the producers that write all her material... damn if her songs don't keep sticking in my head. THAT, my friends, is Devil Music. Is it the dialogue? Is it clever plotting? Is it the JOKES? I see a similar vein in Joss and M. Night Shyamalan, and while David Mamet and Aaron Sorkin are totally different animals, there is a certainly prettiness about their prose. Anyway, I'm not writing diary entries. Though I will consider porn, if someone asks. XOXO
