Serenity
Went home "sick" from work tonight. Terrible, splitting headache, doncha know? Actually did have a bit of one from the last idiot I had to talk to. Half an hour to convince the SOB that arguing with me wasn't going to change the fact that his money was probably stolen by his accountant. Wasn't going to change the fact that we did get the return he wanted to send us, so sending us a new one wasn't going to make us send him more money to replace what the accountant stole. Wasn't going to change the fact that we had already told him what bank he needed to talk to. Wasn't going to change the fact that filing multiple requests for a refund trace WON'T speed things up. And would just tell him to contact the same bank we already told him to contact. No, filing an extension request is not needed, we already have his return, even if he didn't get his money. And over and over and OVER again. Grrr.
Anyway, left work, fixed something to eat. Spanokopita, yummy. Took my shower, was running a bit late for the free screening of Serenity tonight. But still managed to get there an hour early. I'm still waiting on those Star Trek transporters, I hate driving in stop-n-go traffic.
There was such a line when I got there. I went in with Carol Doms, managed to get good seats. Had interesting conversations going here & there, nothing out of the ordinary pops out, though. The promoters did do some giveaways. Stupid questions to win. "what show is this movie based on?" "what vampire show did Joss Whedon do?", etc.
Enjoyed the movie, but I don't think it's going to go over big at the box office, because you really needed to have seen the tv show to understand most of what was going on. But is worth paying to see, definitely. There were a few club members there who had never seen the show, & said they did like the movie, had enough of an sf background that they weren't totally lost. But still.
Sigh, am feeling a bit of identification with River just now. Several of the characters, actually.
Hee hee, did enjoy one line by Kaylee. Don't remember it exactly, but it was something about not having had anything in her nether regions in the last year that didn't have batteries. Jayne sure wanted to hear more about that.
