Shiny! I just got my special edition Serenity in the post. It had to come all the way from Amerikay, but it is shiny shiny shiny.
I just gotta find time to watch it now.
As you may have guessed from the lack of posting- hang on, that isn’t strictly true as I have posted a few reviews, but there have been less of my ramblings than usual, so I’ll reword that sentence: As you may have guessed from the reduction in my ramblings I’ve been a little busy lately. Yeah, more students around at work and whatnot, but that isn’t really the issue. I could easily post at home, no, I’ve been preoccupied with visiting pound shops and buying crap. Why, I hear you ask[1] . Well that is easy; we are holding a football awards night out tonight. And as the Organising Committee[2] I’ve been run off my feet coming up with award categories and deciding on who should win and getting prizes. And what wonderfully crappy prizes they are! Although who knew it’d be so hard to find something costing €2 and doctor related. Weren’t there like hundreds of crappy stethoscopes[3] about when you were a kid? Anyways, despite harrowing setback like that, and the fact that Hickey’s was closed by the time I got there last night and so couldn’t get the ribbon for the medals, I have every confidence that tonight will be a total success. Or at least a drunken night. I’ve been saving up my weekly unit limits and reckon I can get totally pissed and come to no harm.
That is the way it works right? As a ladddeeeee I get what, 14 units a week? And I haven’t had a drink in two and half weeks, and so I get to have 35 units. Thats a lot of vodka and diet coke.
Work tomorrow will be fun.
Oh, and the interests of staying positive let us not mention the ROI’s performance at Croke Park last night. Discretion and valour and all that.

I’m waiting for episode 22 of Heroes to load up so I can watch it. Almost at an end now. Oooooh. But while I’m waiting I thought I may as well show you what I picked up today in my quick stop[1] in Chapters.
Item the first: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I’ve heard many great things about this series, but have never picked any of the books up. So when I spotted the first in the A Song of Ice and Fire series I figured sure what the hell. I may not get around to reading it for a while, but it can’t hurt[2] having it on the book shelves[3]
Item the second: Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous by The Joss God[4] and John Cassady.
Which obviously enough’d be followed by the 3rd, and final purchase: Astonishing X-Men: Torn also by Joss Whedon[5] and John Cassady. I’ve had the first in this series for ages, but only now have I gotten around to buying these two parts. I’m not going to read them just yet. I’m in the middle of a book, and then I have A Midsummer Night’s Dream to get to for the Once Upon A Time Reading Challenge. But after that. Then I’ll get stuck in.
I’m not sure if I’m one of those rare women that has patience.
Linknotes:
- I was going to call into Peats to take a look at headphones, but spent too long book browsing ↩
- unless it falls and bangs me on the head, but then again, it is only a paperback, so I am willing to take the risk ↩
- Shelves, floors. There isn’t much of a difference ↩
- All hail ↩
- Did I mention I saw Serenity in the cinema over the weekend. It was well shiny ↩

Once more Joss posts on Whedonesque
Since everyone’s all abuzz with the CW rumor, I have to get all official and say: WE’VE STARTED FILMING NEW EPISODES!
See, that, the deliberate raising of our hopes, only to dash them. Dash them utterly:
Of Dateline. I’m such a troll.
No, there haven’t been any overtures from the CW as regards a SereniFly spin-off. I haven’t even heard the orchestra tuning up.

so there I was, making my usual round of blogs when I got to Whedonesque. I’d read last week about the rumours that a few of the Firefly actors had been seen leaving an exec building[1]
And now it appears as if we may be getting what we deserve:
Firefly. You gotta spill it if you have any additional info, please!
I’ve heard the CW is considering bringing it back as a series, miniseries or movie for next season. Hurrah! For you who missed my message board posting, on Tuesday, Nate Fillion, Summer Glau and Gina Torres were seen coming out of one of the exec buildings at Paramount, where they are putting together the new CW unit.
Course this is still all nothing but rumour and speculation, and given Joss’s comment saying that his phone is silent, lets not hope too much. (whedonesque may be down due to overload of people hoping and praying it is true)

After seriousness comes great news:
Your order for Serenity (Widescreen/2005) has been posted.
Please note PLAY MAIL ORDER will show on your statement.
Please allow 3-5 days delivery.
(the source won’t go anywhere)
Course because officially it wasn’t supposed to be released until the 20th I sent it to Sligo. Damnations! Its going to be the 23rd before I get to watch it. Must remember to bring home my region-free disc for the PS2
Also, rumour has it that Serenity may have won the BBC film 2005 film of the year award, but of course, that rumour may be false. Dashing hopes onto sharp pointy rocks.
