FIVE DAYS, TEN HOURS.

Got together with Chungy, Eunice, and Mein Schlienen last night. Originally we were all going to Chungy's for dinner, as her mom had offered to make us authentic Korean cuisine, but she'd had a long day, so we didn't want to impose. Instead, we had dinner at Chili's for old times' sake, got gelato at Paciugo, then returned to my house to watch an anime called Appleseed and some Firefly. Appleseed was gorgeous -- I think I missed half the dialogue just admiring the blend of CG and traditional 2D animation.

Firefly was interesting, as Chungy had somehow gotten it into her head that there was a lot of teen angst-type drama on the show. I wanted to make her rewatch the episodes she'd seen ("Serenity", "The Train Job", "Our Mrs Reynolds", and "Jaynestown"), because I don't have the foggiest clue how she could misremembered so severely, but as Marcelina had been with us when we watched those four episodes, I didn't want to make her rewatch an episode for Chungy's sake when she was already so excited about the show. Instead, we watched "Ariel", which I felt had a good representation of the Firefly dynamic, without necessarily requiring a lot of backstory for Eunice's sake (who hadn't seen any).

After that, everyone went home, and I vowed to fix Chungy's bizarre misconception through excessive consumption of Whedon-y goodness. I only wish that we'd been able to convert her earlier, so that she could have seen Serenity with us. Oh well, I sincerely doubt that the May 26th screenings will be the last ones, so it's probably not too late.

(Oh, and Rachel -- Marcelina agrees with me that Cherise would make a much better Zoe, if only for the hair. Hah!)
