Gifts from the Out of the Blue

I had been wanting to see Done the Impossible: The Fans' Tale of Firefly & Serenity for quite some time now. I almost bought it on several occasions. Well, one of the people who helped make the documentary is apparently a listener of Monkey's podcast. He met up with James (the Carson of the podcast to which Monkey's plays McMahon) when James was ( Read more... )

aw, dude! I've had that for three years now. I bought it at the con the year it came out! I wish you'd said something.

But now you have your own copy, so there's that. Yay! Very kind of that fan!

Did you like it???? Did you learn anything about the show that was cool to know?

It never occurred to me to ask anyone about it. durrrrrrrrr on my part. :)

That's darned cool... glad you have a cunning hat to watch it with.

The wife of the couple that stayed in out room this year suggested I create a podcast about the... unusual erotica I've written recently. (You don't wanna know) I told her there was no way I'd be doing that... I guess you never know who'd listening.

If you did a podcast I would listen! Is it the zombie stuff? You can just say "yes" or "no" ;)

It *is* strange because you truly never know who might find your podcast. (or webpage or blog) When I was taking Web-based Instruction we had to design a functional lesson for our main project. Mine was on writing Haiku. YEARS after the class was over I started getting emails from all over the world - not many, maybe six or seven - from people who used the haiku site. There was one really mean email, but the others were thanking me! Two were elementary school teachers who were using the site in their classes, even! Really made me feel wonderful. Well, except for the mean email. I wanted to write back and say "hey, I'm a STUDENT and this is a class project. The site says at the outset this is not an actual lesson, but my final project, and that it was not meant to be a resource for anyone doing any advanced study of haiku." But as her email was written in all caps and had horrible grammar, I figured my defense would not be understood.

"Yes" :D

I love your Icon! I made ribbon cherry blossoms for my nail tech once... they were pretty but a pain in the fanny. I swore I'd never make them again. One day maybe I will.

And that mean person sucks! What was her problem? There are so many more things in this world to be annoyed with than someone's website.

I can understand why - the Firefly pictures were impressive. Especially the Mal and Zoe that borrowed you for their pictures. Everyone was good, though. I loved the guy who was dressed as Wash!

Megacon looked fun. It reminded me of Dragoncon - loads of costumes of all sorts and shows. Made me homesick. :) I don't know a lot of anime, but as many of my friends are addicts I knew enough to appreciate what I saw.
