Food plant actually. I work for General Mills. I make sure your Betty Crocker frosting, fruit snacks, and Big G cereal is good before it leaves the plant.

Yep, we are one of the few departments (Quality and Regulatory Operations) that still has internet access at our desks. Hopefully they ever look into what I "do" with that access. This site isn't exactly business related, but hey, we tend to get away with a lot of things on third shift. No daytime brass looking over your shoulder all the time.

P.S. I updated my profile.

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!”

Was there a hot tub involved? Was Haken there moderating the party? Of course Firefly was on the big screen, right?

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)

Y'all have great dreams. I dreamed about a beached whale. I was on the beach and he started talking to me. There were really high white walls all around us, so I couldn't go anywhere but beach. 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?

Great Dream!! I obviously need to immerse myself in Firefly even more cuz I want one too.

Every time someone on Angel or Buffy says "Shiny" I perk up smile and sigh wistfully while my housemates look on, shake their heads and wonder about me.

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...
kill....

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.
