Discombobulated Thoughts - 10/01/05

• I saw Serenity last night. It’s a beautifully done film; Joss Wheddon should be proud, but as a Firefly fan, I wish I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I don’t want to spoil it for others. I’ll wait to explain. I’m glad now that I couldn’t go to see it for free in Boston on Tuesday in exchange for a written review. I don’t think I could have given it a fair, unbiased review so soon after seeing it. But it really was a brilliant movie. It’s certainly a good two hour ride.
• One of my co-workers is just giddy over DeLay’s indictment. I’m still living in a world of disbelief in the system. I don’t believe anything will really come of it because this administration and the Republican “base” appear untouchable. The sins they accused the Democrats of are sins that they can commit without fear of conviction or loss of faith from their “base”.
• It’s friggin’ cold here in Maine all of a sudden. Still no Fall in the trees.
• Someone from the insurance company for the lady who hit me called and left a message. I’m guessing it’s about the pain and suffering. I told my mom I really care about the lost money from having to drop from the art class, but she thinks I should ask for more. I wonder if I could get them to pay for a maid.
• My mom is finally home safe. Apparently Red Cross tried to force them to evacuate from Houston and they got trapped in that massive traffic jam. She got off the interstate and stayed in another Red Cross shelter. They ended up at some gas station in the middle of nowhere waiting for like 6 hours in line to use a one pump nozzle. Once they made it to Austin, they had to turn around and go back to Houston, where someone had “taken” my mother’s ultimate Red Cross disaster notebook that she’d spent 20 years putting together. That was probably an accident. Anyway, she’s home now and debating retiring, which is a shame.
• I’m now certified. Well, I’m certified in this new interface engine. At least that’s what the piece of paper I got yesterday says.
• If mold grews in warm, wet environments, will the cold of a Maine winter kill it, I wonder.
• Since it got cold, I have two new furry best friends…
• I’ve got a pimple on my nose right next to my nose stud. Ow.

   Yeah, Serenity really rocks. I hope they make enough money from it to make more. The first weekend’s results don’t look too promising.
   Peace,

   Yes, after having had time to think about it and discuss with friends, I’m over most of my disappointment, which had more to do with fandom and less to do with the brilliance of the movie. I must say that I am in awe of Joss Wheddon’s talent at everything he does. He truly is a genius and it’s too bad that Fox didn’t see that with Firefly.

   I’m rewatching my DVDs and thoroughly enjoying them. I’ve never rewatched my Smallville DVDs or even had the inkling to do so, so I guess that says something.
