You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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

....The second documentary, "Done the Impossible: The Fans' Tale of Firefly & Serenity," tells how loyal followers of the "Firefly" TV series, called browncoats, saved the day after Fox cut the cult favorite in 2002 after just 11 episodes. They used the Internet and e-mail campaigns to stoke protest and even took out an ad in Daily Variety to pressure Fox.
Ultimately, creator Joss Whedon, of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fame, took the project to Universal Studios and made a full-length feature film, "Serenity," which tied up "Firefly's" major plot points.
"Done the Impossible" is the story, told by the show's stars, fans and Whedon himself, of how the canceled TV series became a (modestly) successful movie.

Anyone seen the video for Muse's "Knights of Cydonia"? Looks like the person who came up with it, is a Firefly fan...at least, that's what I'm telling myself. :)
You can probably see it on YouTube or similar, or you can check it out at the official Muse website using the media player in the bottom right corner. [link]

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Okay, I had to turn that video off about halfway through because it was hurting my head too much.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
saw that awhile ago, still think the FF influence is a stretch (although it was seemingly influenced by a lot of various shows), and still highly disturbed...

I think it's hilarious and I like the song. I'm just weird, I guess.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I love Muse, but that's one of my least favorite songs from the new album.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really love it, especially the first minute or so.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I stumbled onto the Variety advert the other day online (it was linked in a random article). It's very pretty - I love it still. That advert is actually what made me investigate (ie find) the Firefly fandom, so it's all your fault Allyson and friends.
Also, there have been several times in the past year where either me or my friends have run into Joss in the UK randomly. Somebody contacted me a few days ago saying they'd had just ran into him on their street. Considering they met him in a museum a while ago in Scotland, it's now become the running joke that Joss is stalking them. That bastard. Stay off our land *shakes teacups*.
Also, no Serenity novels. I'm glad, really - although I liked the concept in theory, I know I would have ended up getting gradually more annoyed as I turned the pages, ending up burning them after page 20 when River resurrects Wash using a spork.
