Pop Cultural Moment: Firefly Movie!

Via Slashdot - Fox didn't give the series a chance, but Universal bought the movie rights and Whedon is going to try and make a <http://hollywoodreporter.com/thr/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1969026">big screen version. It really was such an excellent little show, and got cancelled just as they were started to develop their first substantial story arc.

I just hope that Firefly: The Movie is not as crap as Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Movie. The latter put me off the series for years - I didn't discover it until D. became addicted and foisted it upon me!

and in other news..

Have not posted here (or much of anywhere) for the past couple of days - being tied (ok, not literally) to one's desk to fill urgent urgent urgent work requests tends to disincline one from wanting to spend still more time on the computer when one gets home :P

In addition, the persistent hunching over the keyboard has left my back rather stiff, a state that was only remedied by vigorous fencing this evening.

Note to self: pretending that your opponent's blade really is sharp has proven to be an excellent way of keeping track of who has right-of-way, and of inspiring one to be extra careful not to get hit! :D I did quite well tonight!

I've got some writing to do for some of y'all (you know who you are) - I'm not ignoring you, I am getting to it this weekend. I could try and crank out something now, but I can almost guarantee it would be a turkey!
