I always think about this one for a few seconds, but my answer is always the same: Serenity. You all know that I bow at the altar of the Whedon, and I love everything that man has ever created, but I think Serenity takes the cake. I can still remember how it felt to experience it for the first time in the theater, and then how difficult it was to go back a second time, how thoroughly gutting and cathartic and all-consuming it was both times. It felt like a true film, sweeping and cinematic in every sense, packed to the gills with characters I loved and dialogue that made me laugh and action that put stars in my eyes and drama that made me sob until I thought my lungs might come out of my chest. I will never tire of this film. If I had the time, I would gladly watch it every day. I think my favorite thing about Serenity is something that wasn't even on screen - in Joss's commentary track (which is delightful and hilarious and moving the whole time, and it's just him! &Joss;), he says that in the climactic scene, when Simon is down and River kneels by his side, Summer was crying so hard during Sean's take that they had to stop filming to give her time to collect herself and film her part of the scene. Since the Tams are easily my favorite part of Firefly/Serenity, that gets me in the heart, just as much as the scene itself does.
"My turn."

This weekend, I got a start on my holiday shopping! I felt like such a grownup. It's really nice to actually have money to do this with, because then I can get substantial gifts. I only knocked 3 things off my list, but it was a good start! I also did something I've been meaning to - I got more winter gear. Especially BOOTS. I got the most kickass black winter boots, and I of course have to show them off.
Aren't they sooo pretty?
I love themmm. They're Bear Traps and the whole inside is lined with faux fur, so they're super soft and comfy. I wore them all day today and I had no discomfort at all, whee! They're waterproof and designed to be warm so I'm hoping they'll be enough to protect me from the vagaries of having to walk 20 minutes to and from work every day in the MICHIGAN WINTER, ahhhh.
I also got super warm Isotoner gloves with ~thinsulation:
Not pictured: comfy earmuffs! I was quite warm and bundled up today with all this gear in addition to my hardcore down filled winter jacket that I bought earlier. Bring it on winter! I'm ready for you!
Re: my current music, I just made Mad World into a ringtone and it's the most soothing thing to wake up to EVER. Glambertttt. <333
