The car is cool, but I'm not sure I would see it on the street and immediately think, Firefly!

It's like a fanfic of a car, really. Not the same as the text. Extrapolations and interpretations and incorporations.

Cool car! But ya, not as immediately identifiable as say something like this: Interior.

Exterior.

Parked next to this one up at Griffith Observatory!! VERY COOL!

Ohhhh I've seen that car around town... My 10 y.o adores it (and can't figure out why we don't do that to my Explorer)

Man, I just saw the strangest commercial on Nick... from the drug council... using leeches! UGH!

Ugh yeah I've seen that one too. The worst part is that nobody's been able to prove those anti-drug campaigns really work. I've even seen one study that claimed the anti-campaigns encourage teens to experiment more.

It's even worse when you've been dozing off and happen to wake up to it. ::shudder::

The first time I saw that damn leech ad, for about half-way through I thought it was for real (granted, I was not entirely sober). I got covered in leeches once as a kid, from swimming in a pond. My mother was wigging out, and I was, Hmm. Interesting.

What thread is this? Oh yeah... I may get another toaster. A colleague has promised to watch Firefly after he finishes devouring Buffy and Angel (from the top, not the bottom) because he likes them so much.

So. Cool. I have always wanted the time/money/insanity to X-Wing out my car.

Topic? Uhm...Wash is no Wedge, but Firefly loses none of its awesome anyway.

I was going to clean today. But I got a cold. I also got my present for my mom late, after I had given her another and decided this would be for her birthday in February. It's S1-3 of The Waltons. But did I mention I have a cold? Well, I do. So I was weak. Weak, and also thrifty, so I thought I should watch The Waltons first, before giving it to my mom.

A bit of backstory: When I was a kid, The Waltons was the only show my mom would regularly let me watch. I loved it, but dreamed of watching other shows. Visions of Little House on the Prairie, Mork and Mindy, and The Dukes of Hazzard danced in my head, but pretty much it was The Waltons. Even when we had no TV, my mom would search out friends with TVs to visit on The Waltons night so that I could see it and not be a DEPRIVED CHILD. You might think that this would make me hate The Waltons as a form of rebellion or something, but instead, for years it was the One. True. Show, until it was eclipsed by the True. One. True. Show: Firefly.

At this point, I hadn't seen The Waltons for ages. I expected that watching it would be a little like watching Little House on the Prairie reruns - kind of fun, but not as satisfying as the original. OMGWTF The Waltons is freakin' fantastic!! I don't know if I'm going to be able to give my mom these DVDs. If I learned anything from this show, it would be that I would be selfless and give them to her, but I may have learned a bit too much from watching Firefly.

xposted with Bitches, because I just can't help myself.

Aw libkitty, you're adorable, and you made me want to watch The Waltons, and the movie Spencer's Mountain, too.
