Serenity was everything i wanted it to be. I do not remember it being so loud, but that could be because i watched Firefly every week late at night with the sound down low so as to not wake everybody else in the house up. Good times. Now what is there to stay up for? Wanda at Large? Until Veronica Mars airs here and is shifted to a midnight slot (if not taken off air completely) by some network scheduling genius, there is nothing worth sacrificing sleep over.
So i sacrifice sleep in other ways. Trying and failing to write an entry about my want yet fear of visibility, and whatever fallout awaits me after telling
my Partial Differential Equations lecture's (except Death Cab for Cutie t-shirt wearing guy [all this time and he still wears the same shirt!]) favourite SRC President candidate to go fuck himself. But then having to deal with what visibility that post would garner me - not having the conviction or the belief that i can hold any assertive position on anything - arrests any output. There is a reason why i write on nothing but television, movies or music, and a reason why i complain and aspire to write about something else.

Yes, i bought this for the song Late At Night, for obvious reasons. My So-Called Life is probably the most perfect, wonderful and befitting television show to ever have illuminated my lounge room. And, like all things that i find suited towards me that are accepted wholey, embraced and loved, its given time was never going to be enough, like so many others (hi Freaks and Geeks). Anyway, Late At Night soundtracked the scene where Jordan asks Angela if they can go somewhere.
That scene... How every other Liberty High student in that hallway fades and a world is created, bound by Brian, Jordan's friends, Rayanne, Rickie and [i can't remember]'s eyes, of Angela and Jordan. Jordan's stride. Angela against her locker. Her lean. Brian in the middle. How he dissolves as what is going on becomes apparent. And Angela's heart as what is going on becomes apparent. How Jordan asks. How Angela says "sure". Everyone affected. Vilgilant. Rickie's head canting to lean against his locker. Rayanne. Jordan's friends. Brian silently destroyed. How their hands meet. And how Angela walks slightly behind Jordan, smiling... that smile... I cannot imagine that scene without that song, and i cannot hear that song without imagining that scene. The most beautiful moment ever on television. No wait, the most beautiful would be Angela's dance after Jordan drops her home after that "Red" scene... yeah... it's an ok album.
Both the asking out scene and little dance scene are available
