I scheduled the MRI for my misbehaving hip — the first MRI appointment at any facility in my network is a month out (literally one month from today), but honestly, as long as I have it scheduled, I can wait. It's a busy month anyway.

Gotta say, the Firefly thing? Is something I've just had to accept from most of y'all. The first few I saw I really didn't like, like, at all. Then I watched it in a bunch and thought "That was fine,too bad it didn't get another chance," and, well, that's all.

I'm still in that camp -- Firefly never did click with me. Weird how that happens, but different people like different shit.

I liked Firefly well enough. Not as much as a friend who went to the local Serenity showing every year for a decade, but I wouldn’t have minded another season.

There’s a local Italian bakery, and I thought—yay, a panettone source! So I dropped by there today after my haircut. They’d never heard of it. I ended up finding it at Kroger, but c’mon, man. If you’re an Italian bakery, you ought to have panettone in December. Still, the local Kroger has pretty good bakery options. Loads of paczki options around Easter.

Yeah. I mean, broadly, I understand the disappointment...there is much more "Brilliant But Cancelled" in my viewing history rather than fixtures, aside from "Friends" and "Frasier" and, maybe "THe Golden Girls" which I watched because either grandmother liked it and because there was nothing on on Sundays but occasionally young fannish people ask me about it like I got to see Yalta first-hand. It didn't feel that way when I was watching it.)And, yes, I think I'm a Dorothy--she couldn't escape her mother either! (and most of that stuff didn't get a movie, y'all demanding bastards, I add with affection. And, yeah, the movie was, you know, exciting and stuff, but I go years without thinking about it, except that I see Morena in an ugly sheriff's uniform in a commercial now and then.) Wow, that's weird. Now I feel like Homer Simpson reading "Previous instances where I professed to like you were fraudulent." to Ned at the mental hospital(I guess that was a fixture once, too.)
