Moon's characters seem to get conflict and pain from their families
Hmmm. The leads do, apparently. They're always terribly misunderstood by those closest to them. But they do seem to pull together when necessary. Certainly the Serranos are some huge power in the Familias universe, and the Vatta in the new series (same universe, different location, perhaps? both use ansibles) appear to be struggling to protect one another as best they can. FWIW.
Vatta. New series.
I cannot
believe
I am out of date on
Science Fiction!
t fires up Amazon...
You know, I don't know why I haven't been around here more often, without the Buffistas I have to have discussions of ninjas w/ beautiful plumage w/ my own head, it gets boring.
I want Pirate Ninjas though.

I'm also left-handed, and made this pattern for AnotherAlaskan for Christmas. I used the flat pattern, because my 10.5 circulars are too long, and it came out a little small. I recommend using the larger size. It's so fun to make, though, and I think it went over well as a gift. I need to get more suitably ugly yarn now!
I bought some orange yarn this morning (well, now it's yesterday morning), and I plan on using double-pointeds. I want to get used to using them, anyway - I have plans to make historically accurate stockings - and I'm fairly sure I don't have circular needles that will give me the guage I want.
Someone on another board emailed Universal to find out when the preview for Serenity will be shown. The answer was May 6 attached to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. (This could be a rumor, but still.) I got the info here

A Few Words From Joss
Joss saying that April really is the cruelest month worries me...
after the move to September was announced, "everyone" seemed to be saying that it was a good thing, that it meant the studio wanted to promote it more, blah blah, but I worry that they don't have confidence in it, that they don't think it can stand up to the summer movies. And now we won't even see the trailer until May, so I have five months more to worry about that.
I need Serenity now.
Vatta in the new series (same universe, different location, perhaps? both use ansibles) appear to be struggling to protect one another as best they can.
Making their way....the only way they know how.
And that's just a little bit more then the 'verse will allow.
Okay, now I have to make that into Firefly filk.
Serenity of Hazzard
It's the Serenity crew,
Doing what they can do,
Out on the frontier, they'll be smuggling steer or maybe galactic porn.
Pulling a heist,
Stealing some pills.
Someday the 'verse might get 'em, but the law never will.
Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the 'verse will allow.
It's the Serenity crew,
They're theives, but they're good,
Fightin' the Alliance like true futuristic Robin Hoods..
