Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, I was an executive producer on Firefly!

Showoff.

I am so unimpressed with Jefferson. Sorry, just am. Though I have the Hitchens short biography and I will read that. Hamilton didn't own OTHER PEOPLE.

And I don't at all buy the "you have to judge a man in his time" argument. Hamilton and Adams both were abolitionists and there were many.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Awww, are you feeling like Duckie on prom night in Pretty In Pink?

I'm taking a class on Dante.

You can bring me in for show and tell. Supposedly, I'm a descendant of Beatrice. I get no royalties, though.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

See, we aren't political opposites. I totally agree with you on Jefferson. We can overcome partisan politics and sing kumbaya together.

In my TBR pile is 1776. Sadly I have to plow through Purgatorio and Paradiso along with Barry Glasner's The Culture of Fear first.

You make me laugh. Which is good. I just rewatched Out of Gas to cleanse my (very particular and opinionated) palate.

I liked Inferno for its creativity of violence. Paradiso and ...um, the other one, kinda bored me, given I don't recall a damned thing.

I know I scared my 11th grade english teacher with my glee and laughter over some of Inferno's circles.

Obama delivered the last political speech I could listen to without heckling or turning it off. Whatever that means.

You know, Hamilton wasn't bad looking.

And, he's money, baby.

See what I'm saying. In the founding father's fuck, chuck and marry, it would be fuck Hamilton, chuck Jefferson, marry Adams.

And I think I might have squicked myself.

"Don' be e-scared"

I actually rewatched "Serenity", the pilot. That's some crunchy good stuff. I mean, really good. Whenever I see the odd review that claims Joss's tv roots are showing in the feature "Serenity," I think, "weird, 'cause whenever I look at an ep of tele that he directed, it always looks like a movie."

Rewatching the pilot made me sad and kind of angry. It promises such wonderful things to come. And Joss really made a fully realized, lived-in world in that pilot. The network was fucking out of their tiny brains to not air that. They must have wanted the show to suffer, I can see no other reason.

I did that tonight as well. And then OoG. Then Trash because I didn't feel like getting off my ass to change the dvd and it was being stupid anyway and I didn't dare tempt the dvd player gods and I liked that one too, but wasn't up to coping with gore or betrayal elsewhere on the disk.

Um.

Serenity was damned good. I wondered, as I watched, if it would have been enough. I haven't deliberately seen movie movies in years, so I'm hopelessly ignorant.

I liked that show, damnit.
