Greetings Earthlings!

So this online today....
Serenity 2 A New Hope?

Please....

Been playing around with for a while Made in honor or Gordy's Serenity game and the crew of the Kimet.

( poster behind the cut )

My buddy Gordon runs our Serenity game and his wife got him custom Plot Point Tokens for his birthday.





Nifty eh?

When we started playing Serenity this fall Gordy wanted some other players in the group other than usual suspects. So he recruited some new blood Laura (a college student at MSU) and Eric (her boyfriend).

She hadnt roleplayed much and he had played mostly D&D they turned out to be a great addition to the group. We thought they would be around a while because she was only turning 20, but turns out she was younger than the average when she started college and worked hard and graduated a full year early!

So with her graduating and leaving town soon we had the last ride of the Crew of the Kismet this past Saturday. Ann made a lot of really good food and we had a farewell of Mina and Captain Frank Jager adventure.

Before they left Laura gave each of us a present. We received a nicely made dice bag with our characters names sewn on them. I was touched.

I had my doubts about the two of them, but they turned out to be fun to have around our gaming table.

While at work the other night I had an odd thought. What if the Firefly 'Verse is the future of Earth 2. I know Joss said there are no aliens in the 'Verse, but bear with me.

In Earth 2 the stations are controlled by people that want to make a perfect society and seems to be corrupt. Not unlike the Alliance. In Earth 2 the Earth has been used up and we need a new place to live. In Firefly they refer to Earth as the Earth-that-was.

Perhaps the Terrians passing on their abilities to to Uly and perhaps the other Syndrome Children is what allowed humans to develop the technology to terraform planets? Like I said I know Joss said there are no aliens in the 'Verse, but I still think its a neat idea.

This is very whacky and amusing.........

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
t's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

Been a while since I posted anything. If anyone wonders I have been working a lot of overtime. I have been working my regular 36 hours in Howell plus two or three extra shifts at the Comcast account as well. The money will be nice but the house looks likes the dogs have been in charge of the housework. :)

The good news is though starting tomorrow I will be working the Comcast account full-time! Monday through Friday 9pm to 6am. YAY! Guess I really impressed the client there. This means a nice raise and no weekends! We havent signed a long term contract there yet, but things look good. I guess my philosophy of asking myself WWJD (What would Jigglypuff do?) has paid off. :)

In other madness I had a dream the other night that we bought a house and were doings some remodeling on it. We were having a second bath put in and for some reason Ann wanted to install for lighting the type of lights you use to grow plants indoors with. I said "Hell No!" and so then Ann and her two best friends were mad at me because without those types of lights, they couldnt write poetry in in the bathroom. No I didnt eat anything odd before bed that morning.

Yesterday I went to pick up a refill and while waiting I heard one of the people at the front counter asking first someone named Costello and then Abott. I wondered aloud if Laurel & Hardy were next and a couple of Senior Citizens there laughed. Glad my humor is appreciated somewhere. The dogs never laugh at any of my jokes unless they involve bones or chasing squirrels.

Lastly we are playing Serenity tonight. I am planning to play the card playing gunslinger with the mysterious past. Gordy is running this game should be fun, have a couple of new players coming I will let you know how it goes.

To infinity and beyond! God that was stupid, I need more sleep.... but I must make the house safe before the dust bunnies go feral!

Saw Serenity with Ann, Steph, and Gordy. A good movie. It had its problems, but I enjoyed it. River came off as too Buffy-lke for me, and some of what happened to the characters I didnt like. Especially when Simon Tam turned out too be an Alliance Spy! Kidding.

I am just hoping that it does enough box office to justify more movies. I would actually prefer a HBO mini-series, though I know that would never happen.

Serenity 4/5 for Firefly fans. 3.5/5 for the mundanes.

When you see this on your flist, quote Firefly..

Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me the wickedness of my ways?
Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.
Inara: I think I'll pass. I thank you for this.

Book: Give me that. River, you don't...fix the Bible.
River: It's broken. Doesn't make sense.
Book: It's not about making sense. It's about believing in something and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you. You hang on to those, now.
