Between car repairs and gardening...

hildy89My local library recently added free wireless access in their main branch. I hadn't had a chance to test drive it until now. Since the weather is hot and humid and my apartment is in rebellion, I decided to disappear over here for a few hours to get some writing done. My running away from home probably won't last long. There is just something appealing about multi-tasking. Here I'm focused on the computer and occasionally scanning the shelves or staring out the window. But it's harder to get up and get that drink or watch a dvd while I write. I do think I get more done that way. Less writing, but more in the general housekeeping.
I moved around some of my smaller furniture to see if I could make some space. I'm still wild about having the trunk in the front hallway, but maybe I can dress it up somehow. I acquired a bunch of stuff when my parents moved. At some point I will need to do a real inventory and get rid of stuff.
I haven't had a real chance to comment on "Serenity". I saw the screening in Norfolk after an insanely long drive from Northern Virginia with two fellow Firefly fans. We had some construction that caused backups. Even the people leaving from Richmond or Charlottesville were having problems, so we felt a little better afterward. The trip back was a lot easier. The real problem with seeing these screenings is you have some people who have seen it before. And they like to quote. We had someone doing that during Joss' introduction which really needs to be heard without kibbitzing. Fortunately the fan next to me gave him a good hearty "Shhh" and glare and he quieted down during the movie. I found someone at the movie getting rid of a spare ticket and the house manager actually asked if anyone had any spares once we were inside which was nice of him. They gave out a lovely promo booklet with info on the cast and Joss and the movie, along with a nice keychain now adorning my motley collection.
I'm still deciding what to think about the movie itself. Squee is definitely there, but also Meep and Whimper comes to mind. It's a sheer rollercoaster. I'm really glad I stayed unspoiled for this though. Some things need to be seen to get the impact. And with Joss, it's usually right between the eyes.
