The Things I Do For Love

OK, so it might not be love. It's too early to tell. But I did spend a few hours traveling to local music stores looking for the VERONICA MARS soundtrack.

I didn't even need it. I have half of the songs already. Some I now have thrice.

But I don't care. I will do everything in my power to ensure the survival of this show. I've only been a fan for less than a week, but that just strengthens the feeling that's too soon to call love but probably is anyway.

I've never gotten this wrapped up in a TV series so quickly before. Maybe BUFFY.

Watch. UPN. Wednesdays. Nine.

Serenity

Official synopsis for those not in the know:

Joss Whedon, the Oscar and Emmy nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL, and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, SERENITY. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.

I saw it last night. It was good. Wonderful to look at, tightly packed plot, and dialogue that lit the house.

I'm extremely curious to see how an audience unfamiliar with the source material reacts. My screening was split between fans and randoms, and it seemed to go over well.

Thanks to TPM for providing the tickets.

And, small world, it looks like Atrios, was there also.

I said "pussy", then "cunt", and when he said "animal", I went back to "pussy".

The correct answer was "beaver".

So what you're saying is you have a problem that is totally your problem but you'd like to find a way to make that problem my problem.
