I'm not really here, I'm still at my parents' house, but I've managed to snag a bit of time with my father's laptop while he's running errands. When he gets back, we're going to watch more Firefly. The LOTR films opened a hitherto deeply buried vein of fannishness in my quiet theologian dad, and after seeing "The Train Job" and "Our Mrs Reynolds" while visiting me last weekend, he's been desperate to see more episodes. Today we watched "Safe" and "Shindig" - I'm thinking next we'll watch "Bushwhacked" so next time he can start with "Jaynestown" and go straight through to the end.
(Should any Firefly-ians be terribly, terribly shocked that I showed him "Train Job" rather than "Serenity" (the episode), I was pressed for time.)
All you writers should rush out to see Walk The Line, because it's about the redemptive power of stories. More on that, I hope, later.
Hope the past week has been good to all of you.

LOL!! It comes to us all, sooner or later. *g* So glad to hear you guys are enjoying being geeky together! Can't believe I still haven't seen any 'Firefly' yet. I did pre-order Buffy season 7 on dvd and couldn't belive how cheap it was - like, a third of the cost the dvds were a few years ago.... Not sure whether to be happy or worried about this!
Haven't heard of 'Walk the Line' - will look into it!
Enjoy the rest of your break!

It's a biopic about Johnny Cash - but unless you actually break out in hives when you hear an acoustic guitar and a Southern-US twang, don't let the country music put you off. It's a great film.
Hurrah for cheap dvd sets!
*hugs*
