Check out this awesome, super-long interview with Joss Whedon! Mild spoilers.
Finally, I post the pictures I’ve been promising for weeks!
My room, from the kitchen. See our lovely tapestry and the Wall of Sex!
My bed, under various lighting conditions.
My desk! Observe the Sandman images, my enormously thick Black Market Physics Textbook (bottom shelf, green with the yellow band), Charlie the laptop of gorgeousness, and all sorts of lovely and geekish books and DVDs. Also: mah awesome lamp!
The Door of Liberal Glee — highlights: Philadelphia Weekly’s “Vote Kerry or Burn in Hell”, Republicans for Voldemort, and my “Bush is stupid, throw rocks at him”. And a detail of Our Titles. “Disillusioned Rogue” was a description of Mal in the pamphlet they handed out at the Serenity screenings. “Cocking a snook” is the term for sticking your thumb to your nose and waggling your fingers at someone. “Specimen of eternal volubility” was the slur Oliver Ellsworth, one delegate at the Constitutional Convention, used to refer to Luther Martin, another delegate.
The Fridge — “make your own damn dinner”. Complete with my Fruit Stash (alas, near empty when this was taken), our Chocolate Stash, and my Kaylee umbrella. See also the “Shadow Government” poster from “America: The Book”.
The “Get Fuzzy” Wall — for Christmas last year, I gave Ko a day-to-day “Get Fuzzy” calendar. She’s been saving the comics since the beginning of the summer and taping them to the storage closet door.
My in-progress wall, above my bed. See my “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” shirt, autographed by three principal actors of Spamalot, a bunch of Anne Taintor postcards, a half-dozen Serenity posters and adverts, and the Lost pullout from a TV Guide last year.
My poster wall, with Ko as living sculpture. Above: our line of Hero lobby miniposters! Below (L-R): Chumscrubber, Discworld: Family Values (autographed by Pterry), Hero, Star Wars Episode III: Who’s Your Daddy?, Rent (the movie), The Incredibles, Moulin Rouge, Serenity.
The hole in our wall and Ko’s amusing caption: “Wall: 1, Priscilla: 0. If she had just cleaned her room like I told her to, violence would not have been necessary. -Ko”
And Ko’s room: One, Two, Three! See her computer’s desktop: us with Terry Pratchett!
For anyone like me with a love of special effects, check out this fabulous interview with Loni Peristere, visual effects supervisor at Zoic Studios, on the FX of Serenity. Warning: contains spoilers! From that interview, there are also links to equivalent interviews for other films, including Dave McKean on Mirrormask and Mike Johnson demonstrating how the puppets were animated in Corpse Bride.
Stupid CVS had every variety of Halls’ cough drops in creation stocked EXCEPT ice blue. The world conspires against me.
The Daily Show is auctioning off for charity two old set pieces on E-Bay.
And bonus, new promotional shots for The Colbert Report.
Woah. Joss certainly kept that quiet.
*squeals as fangirlishly as she can in spite of a sore throat*
Pictures from the Serenity premiere in LA! In addition to our BDH (including brunette!Alan, though no sign of Gina), we have Aly and Alexis (Willow and Wes–now married), Amy Acker (Fred), and CHRISTINA HENDRICKS. YOSAFBRIDGE WAS AT THE PREMIERE!
And oh my good gravy, the Getty ones are even better! Page one, fourth row, second image. Go there NOW. Sean Maher, I love you like a fat man loves hamburgers. Everyone is too adorable for words! Even Summer, whose dress looks like it was made out of a plastic garbage bag. Well, River is nothing if not resourceful. :D
And speaking of Whedoners, it occurred to me last Wednesday that one of the Michaels (we have six) in my Cinema Production class looks amusingly like a young David Boreanaz. A fellow Buffy fan in the class agrees! He even has the hair that goes straight up! I am so amused.
Boo! I’ve been trying to keep this cold from getting its claws in me, and I wake up to green mucus, a fuzzy brain, a realization that I’ve eaten all my fruit and soup, and an email that informs the building that there will be no hot water until noon (when I have my first class). This does not bode well for my day.
Oh, wait! Cantaloupe and bananas in the fridge! Score! And I have almond milk, so I don’t have to worry about dairy thickening the phlegm.
I am further cheered by these links:
The Utah State Fair must be flippin’ sweet to use Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro as their spokespeople! Check out the ads. Highly amusing!
I decided to go to sleep just after midnight, as my brain just wasn’t cooperating, and I set my alarm for 4:30. And now, at 9:15, I raise my fist in triumph and nominate myself for the Golden Calf Award for Excellence in BSing. For question #4, I managed to write 3/4 of a page on the experience of the letter D! Definitely going to office hours next week…
I’m coming down with a cold. I blame Ko. It’s not even midnight (my blog’s timestamps are still on Central time), and I want to go to sleep, and I’ve barely made a dent in my psych homework, and stuff is sticky from where I just spilled juice all over myself. Bleh.
