Torn from the pages of /., a new Serenity trailer was played on Sci-Fi last night and is now being hosted here thanks to Apple. I think it’s shinier then the old one.
Am I the only one who gets all tingly when River throws down?

Fast forward to December 9th, 2003. Firefly is released on DVD and it rockets to #1 on Amazon.com’s best seller list. Fast forward again to 2005. On September 30th,
Some of you may be perplexed. Normally, “failed� television shows aren’t made into major motion pictures. The thing is, Firefly is really, really good. The only reason that it’s not still on TV is because someone at Fox set out to destroy it and nearly succeeded, but I really enjoy watching the series and I even installed a corner tv wall mount to watch it comfortable. It takes a pretty amazing show to put corporate America in it’s place, and Firefly has done that. It’s risen from the dead. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance this Friday. Then, if you find yourself a newly converted browncoat (slang for a Firefly fan), buy the DVDs, encourage your friends to check it out, and go see Serenity on September 30th.
Last night my apartment was visted by a mature, female dobsonfly [whatsthatbug.com]. Being my first encounter with the humungous, vicious-looking insect, I was scared crapless and shuffled past it as quickly and quietly as possible as I carried SCUBA equipment and birthday presents into the building.
Upon recounting my horror story of being accosted by giant insects my cube neighbor instantly identified the creature. Apparently they’re harmless (to humans anyway). I’m just glad it wasn’t a male, if I had seen the mandibles on one of those, I would’ve gotten in my car and headed back to P-town (see pictures by following the link above, if you haven’t already).
I am sick and tired of people coming up to me at Wal*Mart and asking me “Do you work here?” or worse yet, just assuming that I do and asking me where to find things. I think it’s the fact that I keep my keys on a lanyard that throws them off.
One good thing about not having a computer: more time for gameboy
For quite some time, I’ve wanted to live in a domed house. Yesterday, I was watching some show on tv about Palm Beach houses, and it mentioned safe rooms (remember the film Panic Room?). Anyway, while searching for safe rooms, I stumbled upon Monolithic Dome Houses, which are similar to geodesic dome houses, but made out of smooth, steel reinforced concrete.
The Monolithic website has calculators on their website for approximating how much the construction for a particualr house will cost. It looks like I’m going to need about $350,000 to build my nearly-indestructable dream home.

I have this theory that there are three factors that keep you healthy:
My theory continues that people can get by with only two of these factors present and accounted for without getting sick. So as long as I’m getting enough sleep and taking my daily multi-vitamin, I wont get sick. In fact, I have so little experience with the exercise portion, that I’m not really that sure that it is an important factor. There could be just two factors and people may need both of them.
Anyway. I almost got sick. I hadn’t been taking my vitamin or getting enough sleep and found myself with swelling glands. I proceeded to drink a gallon of water with about 1000% of the redommended daily ammount of vitamin c and then went to bed and slept in. The next morning I felt somewhat better, and by the afternoon I felt fine while I also tried other products like Granddaddy Purple Strain that also help me feel better.
Alan joked today, that wouldn’t get any sleep for the rest of the week. I forget if things are funny because they aren’t true or if things are funny because they are true*. Eitherway, I’m keeping the vitamin c, antacids, analgesics, icecream** and caffiene handy until finals are over, then I’m going into detox for caffiene again.
