Last night had a marvelous time of gift exchanging at FGC. I got toys and a dvd and comic books and with each gift that I opened my voice got higher and higher and shriller and shriller. It was great. =D I'll have to post a picture of my brand new Fellowship figures cause they're so wonderful!!!!!!!

I love toys.

I had this wonderful dream last night where Wash came back to life because he said that the Powers That Be were fixing a mistake, or something. It was wonderful and heart soothing, you know? I've heard that Joss has said that there will be no more Firefly movies so now my dream will never be jossed. It was a good kind of catharsis for my injured not-so-inner fan.

One of these days I'll get around to writing up why I don't love Serenity as much as I should and how Wash's death has something to do with that but not everything. Alas, today is not that day.

It's fascinating how the works of C.S. Lewis cause so many different kinds of reactions in people. Lately I've been seeing a lot of discussion on Susan and everything that happens to her in Narnia books. So many people have an opinion of what Lewis was trying to say there that is so completely different from my own interpretation that I've had to resort to writing fic. Because Lewis never said anything about eternal damnation.

And, you know, for all the grief that us BOFQ's give Mary Sues they can be awfully useful at times. *is cryptic*

Oops, must toddle off to flip my laundry. *whistles*

I've been meaning to write something very similar-sounding ever since October. Wonder how similar our two essays would be.

I watched some Firefly the other night for the first time since I saw Serenity and got all sad/happy when Wash was being cute and funny. *kicks Joss*

Poor dead Wash. *pets him*

Poor dead Boromir, too. *pets him. nurses sore finger when he jabs me in indignation with tiny plastic sword*

Wash was so cool. I can't believe they did what they did.

To be fair to the movie, a lot of my issues with it are really issues with Joss and the way that he likes to tell stories and how that differs with how I like my stories told. Or something like that. ;-)

You know what this means? I just have to become a producer and get people to tell the stories the way I like them.

Boromir might act all big and tough but I have it on good authority that he was rather fond of the petting.

*sniffle* Stupid Joss Whedon, always killing off the characters I love.

He could have at least have given us some warning, a hint of shadow, some incidental music. I nearly leapt from my seat in the cinema :-O Poor little baby Wash.
