You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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

it's not like a krav instructor is entirely outside the realm of possibility.

The ones that are on the market now are, as far as I can tell. That's not hard to tell.

eta: BEST WEDDING EVER -- I want one of those

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

Then that will be my gift to you. Sushi, followed by curried goat for the dinner?

I'll stop at Burger King on the way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Just make sure some of the sushi is still alive.

One of the instructors was talking fondly about The Hump -- maybe I should marry him. Another said he had been a sushi chef -- I could marry him, maybe.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

shrift, I feel so close to you right now.

It's the Earth! It's right there, being closer to us. Just ask Tim.

Cause I'm not sure I've ever seen you in anything that wasn't (a) jeans or (b) leather pants.

How can you trump jeans and leather?

I will post pictures when I have them, if only for the novelty factor. Bed now. Must be at hairdresser early tomorrow morning.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

And Sinapore pulls out of Serenity, going for a direct to DVD release instead. I wonder if they'll get the official DVD out before the pirate DVD is out there?

I am one with Singapore.

And! Free canings!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Too perfect

The evil is this way?

Saw Serenity again last night, with one of my sisters. She did not watch "Firefly" or "Buffy" or "Angel." She liked most of the movie. Laughed out loud a lot. But the scenes with the Reavers freaked her out and she would not go see the film again. (She regularly sees movies she likes mulitple times.)

This sister sees a lot of movies and had seen the "Serenity" previews several times. She was not interested in seeing the movie after seeing the previews and only went because I suggested it. After she saw "Serenity" she thought the movie was not well-marketed. She said that fans of the show were already going to see the movie and needed very little prompting. It was folks who never saw the series or any of Joss' work who needed to be told why they should want to go.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

After she saw "Serenity" she thought the movie was not well-marketed.

When I told friends I had seen and enjoyed Serenity, I, without fail, got a "Really?" or some variation on "Really?" . It has a B-movie sheen and the telly ads didn't work to dispel that.
