I *think* I remember either RFK's or MLK jr.'s funeral. I would have been one year old, but I remember knowing someone important died and it being on TV. I have vague memories of Vietnam on the news, but usually my mother couldn't bear watching Vietnam coverage.
I specifically remember the Watergate story and hearings, and next the Patricia Hearst kidnapping, and when she went on trial. I think from this and Watergate, I got a warped view of the news (and maybe the world). Okay, maybe not so warped. Maybe I ended up jaded/realistic, early.
The first and only Republican my (maternal) grandmother ever voted for was RR. She was an FDR Democrat in the extreme, and had voted for Carter in '76.
One of the authors I'm currently working with is named Simon Tam. It's making me happy.
Hey, Firefly is featured on Brilliant But Cancelled: [link]
Anyone know where I can find a copy (preferably .mp3) of the acoustic Firefly theme that played at the very end of the Serenity credits? Such a tragedy that it wasn't included on the score CD.

IMnotsoveryHO, Firefly is the definition of Brilliant But Cancelled.
Thanks for sharing the link. Alas, I do not have the plugins required to access it at work, and my computer at home is pretty hopeless right now.
Sigh...

It's a copy of the map Wash and Mal pour over in Safe (was given out in FOX's press kit back in 2002). Unfortunately it's massive so it's quite hard to make out the planet names and such.
And yes. I'm a massive geek today.
dcp is my new favourite person.
Um? While you're sending, dcp?

Also there, if you're not lucky enough to be Una.
