More Firefly/Serenity babble

I was just hunting through my pockets and found a leaflet that the cinema peoples were handing out after Serentiy. Didn't look at it at the time cos was still all OMG WTF WOW...

BUT 12th nov. there is a Serenty Event here, with River and Kaylee - talks, photos shoot etc
WOOHOO!! If you go to http://www.utevents.co.uk/ you can win tickets! There's no real detail on it yet tho and no mention of any similar ones across the water, tho they did have the early pre-screening sessions and stuff over there.

Of course my only SLIGHT woe is that we don't get any of the boys. Why can't we have the boys? The boys are teh h0tness. Mind you the girls are too, but ... HOT BOYS.
Since I discovered firefly_daily yesterday I am developing a huge crush on Jayne (adam baldwin). He has some of the best facial expressions EVER. And his arms and hands... oh my!
Not that this reduces in anyway my deep and abiding lust for Cap'n Mal. In fact all the boys are damn hot, even Simon has his moments tho I'm generally not one for the pretty boys. Throw in all those pretty pretty girls too and well, what more could you ask for?
Apart from a swimming pool full of melted chocolate to chuck 'em all into of course.
*stares into space*

just a little bit more firefly...

Just one more. Honest. (for now)

For those of you wandering what the hell this firefly thing is all about, I found a very nifty lil photo essay/ep guide to give you a taster - http://www.livejournal.com/users/liminalliz/544525.html
Look at all the pretty!

Now go and buy/borrow/steal the dvds. Then go see Serenity when its out. All of you!

Return of the Zombie Mouse!!1!!!11!!

Yep, they did it AGAIN.

This morning the cats - including Cat Who Is Not My Cat - were all sniffing round behind one of the chairs, but as I was late for work (as usual) I just fired him out, fed the others and left.

This evening, after bringing ziggy in and stopping via the chippy, I notice Lana poking around the hoover, and that she's dragged a top off the heater onto the floor beside it, a sure sign she's hiding something. Could be that she's thown up (not sure why she hides that, perhaps so I won't notice), but why sniff around? I decide not to deal til AFTER I've eaten and changed.
Eventually I get up the courage and lift the top and sure enough, there is teh leetle vermin, legs pointed skywards. So I grab the Dustpan and Brush of Removal and prepare to remove.
AND THE FUCKER MOVES.

Discretion being the better part of valour I screech 'ITS ALIVE!11!!!' and flee. Well I was running late, and stuff, I HAD to go. Honest...
After riding I very bravely decide to go straight to Pilates in the hope that teh Z0BM1E M0UES will have been dealt with by the time I get home. I have no idea quite HOW this is going to happen, but I am an optimistic soul.

Alas, my hopes are dashed. I creep back into the house (in case the Z0BM1E M0UES leaps at my throat, or something) and there the little bugger is on the mat. No longer on its back either so I have no idea if it's alive or dead. Doesn't look particularly alive, but not entirely dead either.
So I fetch a cat (I know I know, I will burn in hell or come back as a mouse) who pokes it a bit, but I still can't tell if it's alive or not.
So I fetched the Dustpan of Removal again and, after some dithering and screwing up of my courage, running away and back again, I eventually reached the sticking point and tried to nudge teh moues onto the pan. At which point of course it REANIMATED and made horrible HORRIBLE scrabbling noises on teh pan while I fled to the front door and flung it out into the grass.
Still, at least it didn't go for the jugular or try to eat my brains. This time.

Sometimes, I wish I'd gotten a dog.
