That was alright. Well, either it was alright or I'm too tired to fully appreciate shiny goodness. Summer sure glammed up for this event! And Alan couldn't bother to shave. That's our crew. Interesting Inara theory. Maybe we'll get a second movie to learn about that. Or another set of comic books, at least. Some new content would be most welcome.

How in the heck did I completely fail to notice that on Firefly, the young Simon was played by Zac Efron? I remember thinking the young Simon & River were perfectly cast, but apparently I never looked to see who the young actors were.

Ah yes, that Farpoint wrap up I promised…

I love Browncoats. Seriously. I posted on the board that I liked angelus80's signature block, the only thing better would be one of McGee. angelus made one for me :)  How awesome.

How do you shut off the water in the shower such that you disconnect the handle from the pipes? My mother managed that yesterday, and now we can neither turn the water off nor on. So no shower today, and we've probably wasted 30+ gallons of water. The second plumber we called (the first hung up on my mother) is supposed to come this morning.

Where's an environmental terrorist when you really need one? I was passed on the road this morning by a shock-yellow Hummer 1, covered with bumper stickers. Among others: 'Liberals Hate America'  and Obama with a line across his face and 'Lynch him, don't elect him.' I wanted to slam my head on the steering wheel. The next car to pass me (another SUV) had but one sticker on it: "Got Hope?"  Not much anymore, thanks.

I've oft heard that Browncoats are the 'scariest fandom'. Beats me why, esp after I've just had a 3 hour dinner with 10 Browncoats representing 5 states and 2 countries to celebrate one guy coming to visit, then heading out to the movies and then the DVD player with most of them. But given the current kerfuffle over in Supernatural fandom, I think those folks might deserve the scariest fandom title. And I say that as Supernatural fan (not fanatic.) I knew about Wincest, but not about the volume of RPS and such.

There is good news today - I'm getting a raise, effective Friday. Woo-hoo!

Having a very dubious time regarding Torchwood of late. My Mom's pal did indeed burn Season 2 for me, and I was stoked to start watching the DVDs last night...except they don't work. Yeesh. The discs don't work on either DVD player and didn't work in the first couple software programs I tried, before Windows Media Player turned out to play it. Sort of. The picture's not good and I hate watching on a 15" computer monitor. 

Meanwhile, I sent my Torchwood art off to Comic-Con with fellow Browncoats to hopefully get signed. Bruce was there for Preview Night and first thing Thursday morning, so I figure he probably got signing tickets. (He won't be getting back to me until Tuesday or so.) The problem is I sent gifts of prints to all the actors as well, and in the case of John Barrowman I also sent a gift for him and Scott, some cocker spaniel art. What I'm hearing from San Diego is that John's handlers refused to allow anyone to give him a gift (!) I've heard of not allowing gifts during presentation, but during signing sessions? WTF? I'm hoping Bruce had the forethought to try and give John's gift to Scott, or Gareth, or one of John's family members, apparently they were all there. Evidently Gareth's line was much more relaxed so I'm sure that part of the program went OK.
