ever find yourself going about your daily routine, minding your own business and suddenly something comes up that reminds you of Firefly? since it happens to me only all the time, i figured i couldn't be the only one. there were some just this weekend.

Oooh! Ooh! I got a couple!

I was at a concert a couple of weeks ago, and there was a song the band sang called Glory, and listening to the lyrics and the song reminded me SO much of Mal! Saint of Cheese was there too.

I heard the song Hallelujah the other day too... but I guess that's more of an "only on this board" thing.

I went hiking on Saturday near this old run down ranch, made me think of the town in "Safe".

I saw some EMTs on my drive home last night, decked out in blue, made me think of "Ariel".

The old hay fields near my work are how I imagine the setting of "Heart of Gold".

The Sheriff from 'Train Job' has been in the last two episodes of Fox's 24.

That and Friday's USA Today made me think of my favorite show again...

Every time I'm in yoga class (yes, yoga class. Gotta problem with that? ), the instructor says something like: "try to find a place of serenity..." or somesuch, whereupon I experience a pang of Ultimate Suffering ("Have no place I can be..."). Most counterproductive.

This probably isn't exactly what you meant but today I was in my local co-op, going about my business when an extremely weird woman took it upon herself to follow me around and comment on what I was buying. Now, I'm generally friendly and this is a small town, but when she told me that, "No one uses cumin, whatever are you thinking?" What popped into my mind was, "This here is a recipe for unpleasantness." That and the fact that I wished I could kick her into the engine like Mal did to Niska's henchman.

So what made me think of Firefly?

1.Waking up with Riverish hair.

2. Seeing my brother eat an apple- and warning him not to just munch on it but be careful and cut it.

3. At fencing practice I thought of Mal’s...uh...fencing skills. How I wish I was there instead of Inara and how I really could of taught him how to kick that snobby Atherton’s butt.

4. Got a flu shot and thought “time to go to sleep” (and no my Doc didn’t look anything like Simon).

5. Friend tried to teach me once again to ride a horse and I just knew I’d be kicked off Serenity ‘cause I’d never look as cool as Mal, Zoë, and Jayne.

6. When my little blue cars muffler had to be taped together, my horn was disconnected, my lights only turned on when you banged on the console, and my car only stopped when you used the emergency brake- but it could still race away from a stop light faster than the new cars, I knew it was no longer a Mazda, but a Firefly class.

7. When writing to my best friend over in Kuwait- “I didn’t fight in no war, best of luck though.”

8. Looking though junk mail and saw a book club invite.

this is exactly what i was thinking, as is what Hjermsted experienced when seeing the sheriff on 24. like how excited i am to see Nathan Fillion tonight on Buffy.

there's a weddng scheduled at the church where i work; Egeland & Fillion...the Fillion is Jeremiah, but guess where my head goes?

this morning i was listening to my radio in the car and found out the producer's last name is "Reavers." my immediate thought was "poor guy!"

Ahhhh, I had a Firefly dream last night. I think I've been reading a little too much fanfiction, since the events ran similar to a story I have been reading. All I know is there was a big group of us at Kaylee's house and we were having a big sleepover party. Everyone was in character. Very odd. I was very disappointed because I was walking around the house and I overheard Kaylee and Simon talking, and I thought "Alright! Here's going to be something cute to listen to" but then my dream decided to take me somewhere else. Very disappointing!

It seems every time I see a cop car lately there are 2 at the same time. There first time I noticed this I said, "Two by two, hands of blue."
Then I cracked myself up.

There's a sign on the highway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles called Wild Wash Road, of course, our Wash always comes to mind. And now strawberries equal Kaylee. So when they said that Jessica wanted some strawberries I immediately thought of her as our Kaylee.

On the fox firefly board there is a thread that is buried called inadvertent Firefly references.

1) Getting pulled over by the alliance, er... police the other day. Had all kinds of comments about purple bellies and keeping cargo in the open going through my head while I presented my paperwork for inspection. The plastic dinosaurs and palm trees on the dashboard got a me strange look.

2)Shopping in the mall I found a loose brown tank top and my first thought was that all it needed was a Blue Sun logo.

It's a good thing your coworkers are understanding. Mine make fun of me when I call things "shiny." The other day somebody did tell a really stupid dirty joke and nobody was laughing cos it wasn't funny and I said, "Well that was creepifying." That got a laugh.

Everytime I put the key in the ignition of my truck and she fires right up: she's a collection of cheap parts, but she'll run forever 'cause I'm a mechanic that's half awake. (I'm telling you that MOPAR makes the Firefly class. The parts are all after-market and interchangeable. He%%, you can pick them up at junkyards, dust 'em off and plug 'em right in. Chrysler won't be around in 2517, but MOPAR'll keep right on cranking out high-performance stuff.)

Everytime it dawns on me that I need to find a job, 'cause the one I got is about done. Can't rely on luck, not ever.

Everytime I come home to my husband and he makes me laugh; everytime one of the guys I work with says something scathing about him. Most people don't get James and me at first glance...

James makes over my 'wife soup', never knows what's going to be in it, though.

I used to be in a band called Serenity that just became defunct right before the first episode of Firefly was aired.

We went to a place called Serenity Valley once and lately my friend has been bringing it up all the time!

Happens to me pretty much all the time. I had to store my brown leather trench (yes, it was purchased solely because it looked like Mal's coat) since the weather has gotten pretty warm, and when I put it into the coat bag, I couldn't help but think of Firefly.

The other day I was watching a western and thought how cool would it be if Mal, Zoe, and Jane came out of the saloon and shot up those nasty bad guys.

*Sighs* I really miss Firefly.

It STILL hasn't been picked up. I found myself thinking: "Someone really ought to collect that poor critter before it gets all corpsified and gross!"

Was at the store a little while ago getting supplies for family easter shindig tomorrow and had to fetch marshmallows for fruit salad. And they're in the same section as baking stuff. And I thought "Wow. What Kaylee could have done with all this flour." Then thinking that I know some Browncoats who would love to see this much flour.

We got new critters at the museum yesterday including two baby prarie dogs, a male and a female. They haven't been named yet. They would fight and then love on each other, then wrestle, then love on each other some more, and on and on. I suggested Wash and Zoe and nobody got it. But, I'm sticking to my guns.

Uh, yeah. I was thinking of Firefly on Tuesday when I watched Buffy. Watching Nathan Fillion as Caleb in "Dirty Girls," I found myself saying, "Oh, Mal! What are you doing!" Now I can't watch any pivotal Mal moment without thinking of Caleb. Argh.

Couple of weeks ago, adopted two "fancy" mice (all the wild ones we'd captured in the kitchen had lived out long, happy, well-fed lives in a tank filled with shiny stuff to climb and play with, and no new ones have appeared [many neighbors with cats]...so we went for their domesticated city cousins). The wife insisted on naming the creamy-off-white one Francesca. I, of course, thought that her sister, a spry, inquisitive little soul ("...big world..."), should carry the name, Kaylee.

She's easy to spot; she's the one with the brown coat!

number of browncoats seen in my home town, Starbuck, Minnesota, over Easter weekend? well, not brown--Dad's shade-tree mechanic jacket is khaki with a brown collar, though, and a girl whose khaki long coat that looked a lot like the Zoe's.

tried to use "all manner of" in place of "all kinds of" in a sentence, but my cousin didn't get it. actually she only gets me half the time, but i guess i need to show her the episodes again.

a line from Sweet Home Alabama; "Don't be lettin' all the bought air out." aside from the syntax, it reminded me of Jayne.

my brother, Jay , who took down Dad's Remington pump-action shotgun, cycled it, peered down the barrel to check the site, then put it back on the gun rack and felt compelled to explain why he just does that. he also told me the story about how Dad temporarily lost the gun in a lake, which is why when they clean it, they still find some bits of sand.

he hasn't seen Firefly yet, but he's gonna.

I am wandering by a magazine rack in my favorite book seller when suddenly, from the cover of America's Civil War, I see the name JUBAL EARLY. I wasn't aware, until last night that Lt. Gen. Jubal Early (Old Jubilee) was a confederate general serving under Robert E. Lee. The article in this month's magazine discusses General Early's defense of the town of Lynchburg VA.

good one! Futuresmith had a good catch on Jubal Early too.

for my fellow Dark Angel fans, Michael Weatherly was on JAG last night wearing mostly black, but with a brown zip sweatshirt under his windbreaker.

at the grocery store yesterday while getting Chinese food, i spotted a guy wearing a brown bomber jacket. since he was a complete stranger, i fought the urge to exclaim "Hey browncoat!" now i wonder if he would have known what i meant.

i'll be shopping for my browncoat this weekend.

You’ve got to think Wash, flying shuttle, and gag reel for this one folks.

On my way to school I was trying to change CD’s with my right hand, shift with my left and drive with my knee and of course ended up swerving all around. When I hit the next red light I looked over past the passengers seat, to where the camera would have been (but was really an older lady in her car next to me) and said with a little laugh “I’m driving like sh**”. The lady didn’t get it, but it made me happy.

Oh and Sarah,

"Ain't it just?"

Found myself swearing the other day... "Gorram it, this piece of Alliance lala ain't workin!" and when my evil computer gave me hands of blue, I said to myself "It never goes smooth! How come it never goes smooth?"

Ahh... and when I did not get the point in math class, twas I who said "She understands- she does not comprehend."

My brother hit something, and I said, "You don't have to hit them, you know." He said, in Jayne-like tones, "I like smacking 'em!"

and savor them all with equal relish. we know how she feels about chocolate--and how happy am i that JW automatically assumed there's chocolate in the future!!

a friend of mine made caramel rolls for breakfast on Sunday that were to DIE for! may have to make them a Kaylee specialty, something she makes when she's got all the fixin's.

the same friend and i watched all the eps from beginning to end over the weekend--first time since I got the DVD set. now she's voraciously trying to score a set of her own. she kept comparing Mal to Han Solo. can't be no higher honor to my way of thinking.

Thanks to you folks on this site, many things I normally would not have associated with Firefly now make me think of it (as if I don't think about it enough anyway).

Dixie Chicks (hey Succatash, got a stick I could use to poke out my mind's eye? (kidding)
Crappy drivers
Reality shows (GRRRRRRRR!GnashGnashGnash!)
Smokes & chocolate chip cookies
Garbage trucks
Navy nukes (they're people, not weapons).
Chili
Toast
Beat up cars with stickers all over them
Mopar

I could go on and on, but you get the picture...

Okay, so, first of all, I'm a shrink by trade (or, ideally, by check) (har-har).

Recently, I became aware of the fact that that, oftentimes, instead of saying: "how do you feel about that?" I'm catching myself saying "How're you farin' with that?"

Actually, I kinda like this, as it helps me by-pass the cliche, and is a nice, folksy way of saying the same thing.

Oh yeah, and, tonight I watched an interview with Madonna. She broke into an impromptu version of "Like a Virgin (choke! Cough!)," and when the line came along: "Shiny and new" I found myself chuckling (eliciting an amusing eye-roll from the wife).

I could (and very likely will) go on...

From Soraya’s site…. http://www.nathan-fillion.de/

“...Nathan is a distant relative of the Civil War general Jubal Early, and mentioned the name and the story at some point to Joss Whedon, and Joss ran with the name for a character the Firefly episode "Objects in Space".”

Cool huh?

I am new to FF and have just the other day completed seeing all the shows and the gag reel. Plus I’ve read the scripts posted here for “Trash”, “Heart of Gold”, and am anxiously awaiting the rest on “Dead or Alive”.

What made me think of FF lately? Well, I think about it all the time at work since Mal is my wallpaper. But seriously, where I work is a rumor mill so stories are always going around about someone “doing” someone else. I was talking to one of the team leaders about it and joked that they were probably talking about us since we were talking “alone”. Anyhow the thing that then popped into my head just then was Zoe saying “Take me Sir. Take me hard.”

1. Books about dinos or stuffed dinos: I think of Wash when I see these items.
2. Watching anything that flys: Planes, birds, and dragonfly.
3. Finding myself saying "shiney" about a lot of things.
4. My mother's car: It's old but still keeps running just like Serintiy.
5. A nice, clear night so you can look at the stars.
6. Clouds that are shaped like Serinity.
7. A good, old bar bralw in a counrty movie: I see Mal , Zoe and Jayne amounst the other fighters.

i here ya. i often find myself humming the theme at work, singing the lyrics under my breath.

on Angel last night, Jasmine's new flunky was named "Patience" and Gina said the name pretty deliberately twice. add that to the use of "I will end you" on Buffy and i'm still thinkin' JW is trying to tell us something.

in Serenity, Wash was using a serious "radio puke" sales-guy voice for the stegasaurus. so now if i hear someone on the radio using it (usually jokingly) it always harkens me back.

I had a firefly dream last night. Actually it wasn't so much a Firefly dream as it was a Browncoat dream.

All us Browncoats were somehow all crammed in my house and having a party. It lasted like three days and we trashed my house. But instead of cleaning up the mess, I just left it, went on the road and started living out Sarahetc’s Browncoat Chronicles.

When I woke up it felt like that scene out of Wizard of Oz when Dorothy wakes up. I kept waiting for all of you to show up around my bed so I could say “But it was real. And you were there Sarah. And you too Talrius. And Maniac, and Succatash, and Hotforkaylee, you were all there!”

I had a dream today. Details are a bit fuzzy, but it seems as though I was part of the crew. I think I may have been Kaylee.

We were in a town and it was busy. We were sort of caravanning goods in a line of vehicles through crowded streets. I was riding with Wash. All of a sudden we could see purple smoke coming from the vehicle in front of us. I knew something bad was about to happen so I yanked Wash down in the seat before an explosion went off. When it blew our vehicle went flying sideways into a building. We were scratched and bruised, but ok none the less. The first thing we did was start to look for the rest of the crew. We found Jayne and Book right away since they had been right behind us. (I think River, Simon, and Inara were still on the ship because we didn’t look for them) Mal and Zoe were no where to be seen.

We all started to look through the crowd. Some were only minorly hurt, and some lay dead. It took forever and I was getting deathly worried because there was still no sign of them. Finally we spotted Mal and Zoe sitting in a building with a group of people injured from the blast. They were being treated for minor injuries. I was so relieved that they were ok. I ran right up to Mal, hugged him, kissed him, started crying, and held onto him like I was never going to let him go. I was so afraid he had been killed.

Then I woke up…………(dammit)

And the whale spoke to me, told me to climb up on it's back (or whatever whales have) and we started to fly over the white walls that were penning us in. Weird huh?

Every time I hear someone talk about the latest episode of "Friends" or some other mainstream pap, I remember "Firefly" and weep for our souls. If television is the aorta of pop culture, crap like "24" and "CSI" are clear indications that our society is in desperate need of a quadruple bypass, and Fox canceling "Firefly" (if I may extend this analogy to monofilamentary thinness) was a deep-fried triple Whopper with extra cheese and a side of Death. One of the few truly creative and alluring tv shows in modern times, and the stupid fucktards can it.
Must...
not...

Okay, so I got a bit off-topic. Anyway, every time I see an example of rampant stupidity, I think of "Firefly" and everything seems a bit better somehow.

What made me think of Firefly today:

1) My Lessons I learned from Firefly desktop

2) I'm listening to Send me an Angel by real life. 80's pop, but makes me miss my Angels. Oh great, now Broken Wings by Mr. Mister is on!

3) I'm working on the Browncoat Foundation

4) I'm working on the East Coast Shindig - any a ya'll not sign up yet, better do so! Nonoluna has a super shiny weekend long party planned. With a buffet to interrogate!

5) I'm actually saying ya'll. I was taking lunch orders for my company the other day and asked if anyone had a hankerin' for sumpin'. I work for a chinese company, and had to translate it from Firefly to English.

6) Every time I want to swear at work I have to remember to do it in English because if I swear in Chinese, everyone around me will know what I'm saying.

7) My own shiny brown coat which is brown suede hand made and hand stitched together with leather thongs instead of thread. The buttons are 1947 quarters, and there's watercolor type art on leather patches of eagles on each side of the front and a sunset scene of the desert on the back. My father is the coolest for getting it for me (4 years ago, but hey it's an original)

8) this board and fox.com where I am when I SHOULD be working.

May 14 -- Texas Democrats say they'll stay in Oklahoma to thwart a GOP plan to redraw congressional districts in the state, NBC's Jim Cummins reports. Accusations flew across state lines as Texas House legislators holed up in an Oklahoma hotel traded barbs with Republicans at home over their rebel effort to stymie GOP redistricting plans. Democrats who shut down the Texas State House held a news conference today, (Tuesday) in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
