shrift, that sounds awful. We have 50% humidity here now and it's unusual. It rained last night (which put a damper on Occupy LA's Chalk protest).

Kat, I feel your pain. I think most of my upstairs is fairly recent, but fairly basic and not enough. I *think* I've figured out the circuitry such that I can vacuum or dry my hair (not activities I pursue at the same time) AND still have a/c. But one of these days, I do think I will get an electrician to come in and put in a dedicated line for a/c in each room ONLY. And a lot more circuits/outlets in general. It might be something worth pursuing, even if it is a rental. The circuits for the washer and dryer and outside outlets were pretty reasonable. That and a better unit. I coveted my ex-neighbor's skinny window unit, it was the same BTU as my bedroom one (whereas my skinny window one is just small and barely able to help much.)

Holy shit.

I don't believe it. Sounds like Comic Con jacked up say anything-ness.

However, the guy who wrote and directed the third biggest movie in history probably has more leverage than he's ever had and I know Firefly is the wound that will never be healed.

Holy shit.

Wait, what? I feel like a transcript would make more sense. Everything else I've seen about the panel mentioned more comics and joking about a radio show, but nothing about a reboot.

the humidity is at 82%

Is it really? It doesn't seem quite that sticky.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. I don't know that a Firefly today would be any more successful than it was a decade ago.

The fanbase is bigger now than it was during the series, but I don't know that it's any bigger than it was for Serenity.

I did finally get my dad to watch the Firefly DVDs I gave him years ago. Now he's decided to look for the movie.

Beau said: no way will Castle be in Firefly again.

I can't really believe the idea of a Firefly movie opening with a Wash-Book scene. It's exactly what "we" want, and we don't need what we want. It sounds way weird. But, hey. Maybe Tudyk has changed his mind about involvement in a subsequent movie. It was his call for the original one and done, after all. Oh, wait--evil Joss for killing him, right? My bad. Though I'm not sure what his options were....

Amy, I suggested that if she has any nipples, she take one, and pinch it real hard, and consider if she's ever had any holes created in her body that didn't hurt--take those two concepts, and merge them for the answer to the question. Whether or not my piercing hurt does seem to be beside so many points.

Suits just got real! Badam! This is so much fun this season.

sarameg--it is indeed a weird shit sandwich. I will definitely have to have my antenna up all the time. But my boss? Is being as cordial as can be. Came by at the end of the day (because he knows if I'm in at all, I'm in at 5:45) to see how the vendor meeting I was actually allowed to have went (motherFUCK, he was pissed this morning...), and he seems less nervous about the project we haven't been able to get our hands around for weeks than ever before. So this morning was a hysterical hypocritical air-clearing clusterfuck, and I just know some new things I have to deal with. And I am going to handle the fuck out of this developer. That shit is also going to get real. She agrees to give me a status report every day and doesn't deliver? I'm going to get that directly in front of her manager so it's not me left flapping in the breeze every day unable to report when she stops answering her cell. I'm not going down with her incompetent boat. We coulda been on the same team, but now I know better. Loosely affiliated at best.

The head of my development team is known for going hyper-ballistic. Mind you, I've never witnessed this and I got lost with him in Madrid traffic (I was the one talking down the freak-outers and providing directions from his gps system, and I could tell he was freaking too, but all within limits.) But when he did that plus 10 to a friend and coworker, she shut down and walked out, and then went lethal on his ass later (something along the lines of "That was not productive or acceptable and if you do that again, HR will get involved, even though I think they can't help. But you will not speak to me like that ever. I like you, but I hated that.")

I like him and he seems to have had a come-to-jesus since that, but I really have no idea how I'd react if ranted AT. I'm a personal-issues crier, but work shit, I tend towards the nuclear option even when I'm the point of failure.

Gotta say, a Firefly reboot sounds... unlikely.
