Well my girl friend has known since before we even started going out that we would be going to this movie together when it comes out... She will come even if if I have to give up steak for horses at dinertime.

She hasn't seen FireFly... But with Joss whedons comments about how hard he worked to make this a seperate entity it should work out well enough.

I'll know if arguing the merits of 1982's Bladerunner is lost on someone born the same year.

So, I read your profile and it turns out you're distinctly female. If you're married to Johnny Depp, you're Vanessa Chantal Paradis. Nice work.

Just coz I was born in the same year as Bladerunner, doesn't mean I haven't seen it.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Classic.

Affirmatively female.

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.

I assume, ya I know, the entire local browncoat population. I mean, come on, you have to go to the first showing.

I'll be taking Jake with me. I'm sure my folks will be there. Um, maybe some of the guys Jake works with; we usually all get together for the sci-fi stuff. I hope some of my coworkers. Perhaps the regulars and staff at my favorite watering hole.

You'll know it's me because I'll be singing the theme song and several of Lux's catchy songs. If Jake has anything to say on it, and he does, I might not be in costume. I'm still practicing my powers of persuasion.

Especially, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

I don't believe any single line of soliloquy has had a greater impact on my philosophical outlook. That, combined with a line I can't recall the source of (paraphrased): "One hundred years from today, you and everyone you know and love -- your children -- will be dead and gone."

Humanity and all our appurtenances -- culture and society and righteous causes -- are not so much a solid, as they are a slow-flowing liquid. Like glass. One hundred years from today, these thoughts, these cares, the wealth I might scheme to attain, will be lost like tears in rain; expunged from any record by the slow rub of Time, and the indolent meanderings of the river of Humanity.

The only record that can hope to remain is Art. Ars Longa, Vita Brevis. In every sense.

Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
Ars Longa and Vita Brevis are the names of Heinlein's Lazarus Long's pack mules. The saying is also the stem of "So many women, so little time". Just to tie things up with a neat little bow.

I think I'm going for a solo trip to the theater myself. That depends on two things though. 1.) if there is a midnight showing here 2.) if I dress up as Wash

If either of those occur I'll be going alone. Otherwise I might be able to drag some friends to it. I expect to see it with them in one of my viewings at least.

Dude. Depending on the weather, I'll either be dressed as Wash or Jayne. But only because that's how I normally dress (casual). If it's warm: sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt, Chinese military pants, sandals. If it's too coolish: long-sleeved Izod knit shirt (vee or mock turtle necks), Chinese military or USAF BDU pants, Nike ACGs (hiking boots). Those are about the only things I wear after business hours.

So, I don't see where going dressed as Wash is going to make you look like a hopeless fanboy. Maybe a slob with no sense of style; but, hey, I --like Wash and Jayne -- am all about comfort and utility. Everyone offended by my dress habits can osculate my gluteals...

Sartorially,

zoid

Whoa! Deep. Perhaps a little too deep for me. I'm only a masters student.

When reading through your post I was thinking that a hundred years from now everything will be recorded so nothing will be 'lost'. Those moments will all be like hail stones in rain... floating away but remaining for a time until they too melt away.

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.

Army/Navy Surplus. Even in the 'wannabe' city I live in we've got three or four. I've probably got 20 pair of the Chinese ones (c. $27 each), in various states of wear. Some are only fit for mowing the lawn, anymore. I like the Chinese ones because they're baggier, with bigger pockets and more breathable fabric than the USAF ones. When winter hits, I put on a pair of sweat pants underneath them (I refer to this combination as 'shells and sweats'); I stay warm outdoors, even with Midwest winds sweeping in from across several flat states, and I'm comfortable indoors, too.

I've got desert-issue and forest camo summer-weight BDUs for everything else. I couldn't go back to jeans if I tried...

v/r,
