Heh.

Wasn't someone involved with the show also calling it "Showers of Gold"? (As in urination rituals, not as in Rumplestiltskin.)

I hope I didn't just misremember that as Heart of Poo. That would be disturbing.

Ok, the mental images here are soooooooooo not helping.

Ad for the Firefly Web Browser. Really funny.

Book gets a mention in the lamest deaths in science fiction.

Much nerdly discussion ensues about whether Boba Fett was actually killed by the giant desert sphincter (Sarlac) or not, including questions about the canonocity of games and novelizations.

Best comment: "Girlfriend in a refrigerator I know, I know, it's serious."

Pattern for a Mrs. Reynolds Shawl. (And read the blogpost about how the designer met Christina Hendricks at a con.

Spending money I don't have on music, recently discovered Mirah via a Deadwood fanvid I beta'd and fell in love Mirah's "Cold Cold Water" [link] and immediately had a Firefly vid playing out in my head.

Besides being a really cool song with theatrical spaghetti western bridges, I fit all the lyrics to the various characters of Firefly. I just have to share my imaginary vid (if you are kind enough to read this, I recommend playing the song from the link while you do so, that way it won't seem so lame!):

I saddled up my pony right

And rode into the ghostly night

It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open

Mal and Serenity flying into the night

I left the only home I knew

I stayed alive and I found you

Now I take you where the water's deep

And make the air you breathe so sweet

Zoe leaves the ship she grew up in, survives the war between the Alliance and Browncoats, finds Wash, life is good (and the water reference reminded me of the scene in Objects in Space where ocean sounds played over their intimate moment.

But is it not enough to be complete? Please?

Let me give you everything you need, please?

Wash to Zoe. If only because Zoe is already such a well-rounded complete person, and Wash wants to be necessary to her (stretching it a bit)

We found a way, we found a street

Directions sweat under the sheets

And I let you have it, let you have it

Simon and River find Serenity on the docks of Persephone. The rest might be crazy space incest.

But it can be a lonely place

Desire comes, desire fades

There's a bright one caught your fancy eye

It's okay so long as you stay mine

Kaylee and Simon, Kaylee is of course the bright one, but River wants Simon to remain hers (CSI strikes again!)

And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame

That you let other numbers in the game

This made me laugh, because it's Jayne.

Now I suffer for your hungry eye

Oh why must it see more than mine?

It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster

Simon's bitterness towards River

But when I ride again into the night

My torch will shoot flames strong and bright

And my absence will remind you of

How tough it is to be in love

Mal leaves Inara behind (I still wish we'd gotten to see that on film), Inara pines for him at the school.

And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey

And it works great for you to have your way, hey

River to Mal

But if the west can be a desperate place

You search all day for just a taste

Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water

General statement of the desperate survivalist aspect of the show

And if you think i've gone too long

Listen the sky will sing this song

As it burns up all the memories

That flow like water out of me

Meta statement about us fans missing the show.

I can see it, Juliebird.

Fanvids for the brain!
