Oct. 20th, 2005 12:14 amFor any of you Browncoats, here's a very interesting and enlightening account of how the 'crusade' to save Firefly was orchestrated. I did not almost get teary when the cancellation was narrated, because that would be entirely too sadly geeky.
Also, people, I need your help. Convince me not to sign up for NaNoWriMo. Really, talk me out of it.
gabby_silang, this is all your fault. Now I'm actually considering it, but... I really shouldn't get into it. Really shouldn't. I do not have time for this. Joey might possibly kill me. And I just don't. Have. Time! For this.
And here's gakked from entirely too many people on the flist:
Take a look at my icons. Comment with the following:
1. One that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.
Comment using an icon of yours that you LOVE, and tell me why you picked THAT one too.

Mwahahaha!!!
I mean, yeah, sure, I would have loved trying, but you know how it is, comments aren't really the best ways to convince someone. MSN might be better, but... Real life. There's nothing like real life. I could tie you to a chair for the whole month. Yanno. Efficiency. So, yeah, I would have loved trying talking you out of it, but right now it doesn't seem possible, because I have no time for it: I have to go to the kitchen to get an orange juice.
*resumes with the evil mad laugh*

By the way, had time to watch A Knight's Tale yet? *wonders whether to expect love or scorn at the mention, since people seem to either GET that movie or... really not*

Date: 2005-10-19 04:48 pm (UTC)No, if you're just tied to a chair, you can still talk to Joey
instead of being entirely focused on your story for a whole month. And she can untie you during the night, providing she has a way to lock the bedroom's door.Though locking Kaylee and Simon might be more efficient.*seeing weird images of the real Kaylee and Simon locked up together, and fighting them back with a giant devil fork*Yeah, I did. And I made a post mentioning it in subtles way. It was called "Black Prince of Wales".
No mention to what I thought of the film, though, but there's definitely no scorn to wait for.

Date: 2005-10-19 06:25 pm (UTC)She's doing fine. But then she loves Paris.
Well, I have some troubles for the fun part because of problems with a certain someone who managed to make things go bad on Monday late evening/night. Grrr. But thanks to the lack of cell-phone and therefore sms or phonecalls, I think I can manage to forget him for a few days. That will do him some good. And since she's coming home tomorrow, I suppose we'll watch at the photo album of the California&Arizona trip, that should be cool and reminds us great memories. And she's bound to fall in love with Nunki.
She loves the French Serenity poster, btw...
I'm probably going there from the 27 to 31. I hope I can watch the DVD before, because it's way better on the DVD player than on the noisy laptop, but then my brother is in Paris too and whenever I come back home he is watching TV or a DVD.

Date: 2005-10-21 08:15 am (UTC)I was brought some Irn Bru and Dr Pepper and Red Bull yesterday. I think I will spare them for group dinners. I love to freak people and disgust them. Ah, Irn Bru. *wbeg*
Hmm... *realises she also need to find back Rob's The Prisoner DVDs and watch them within the next two weeks* Yeah, I will definitely see some DVDs during Brittany.
And plan plot for NaNo. Have you made up your mind about it btw?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-22 07:32 pm (UTC)I'm ignoring the call of NaNo. And I shall keep ignoring it until it is too late! *is strong*
no subject
Date: 2005-10-23 03:12 am (UTC)It's ok, I found a Red Bull ally, I know Noelle like it too.
Until it's too late? I think you can sign until November 21st. Good luck in resisting for still one more month. *eg* O:-)

Date: 2005-10-19 05:59 pm (UTC)Yeah, I completely missed that post. I haven't kept up with the flist as carefully as I should have, I'm afraid. *goes over to said entry*
no subject
Date: 2005-10-19 06:31 pm (UTC)But then, moderation is a good thing too and fangirls sometimes make me cringe. I entirely support you.
...
Ok.... I'm gonna throw a rpg dice and see what happens. 1&3 for you, 2&4 for her.... Ah.... When are you free to come and borrow that giant fork? *wbeg*
You haven't? Ah, that's too bad, I posted so many über-interesting things, such as... er... hmm... You know. Stuff. Worth posting about. Things. *cough*

Date: 2005-10-19 09:50 pm (UTC)2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.
Comment using an icon of yours that you LOVE, and tell me why you picked THAT one too.
1. Not very original, but your "writing addict" icon. It's just...you! The writing addict! *hint* writing addict who should update some of her fics! */hint* :p
2.Argh, can't decide b/w the lost eyefuck or the alan eyebrow. I love both of them! :p
3. What does the text say on your firefly mal icon? (which I like very much, btw)
And I chose this icon because, well first because you made it *eg* and also because I can't resist spiky hair and sunglasses, especially on Sark, but you already know that. ;)

Date: 2005-10-20 07:53 am (UTC)2. Hmm, see, I'm not actually that happy with the eyefuck. But oh how I love the eyebrow. *beams*
3. It's from the song Dead Souls, by Joy Division (but I know it as covered by NIN). Someone take these dreams away that point me to another day, a duel of personalities that stretch all true realities. (They) keep calling me."
Heh. Saaaark! Man, I miss the good ol' days. Seriously, it's tough to be a Sarkney shipper when Syd's being soooooo boring I want to shoot her myself just to spare everyone the bother.

Date: 2005-11-13 01:28 am (UTC)Love the song, love the icon even more.
I've only watched ep 1, but oh boy, boring! If only Salvation could make it on screen one day... ;)
