Kaylee is my favorite

But River took a better picture.

Adam took me to a screening of Serenity at Pixar tonight, and I was VERY very satisfied. It was a treat to see that batch of characters again, and there were a lot of cheering audience members. Rock. I hope it does well enough that they make some more.

It's too bad we didn't have dvds after My So Called Life was cancelled. Who knows what sort of resurrection might have occured?

Cringe In Fear, Surface Dwellers!

Have you seen those first-ever pix of a giant squid in the wild? Me neither! There's that one picture everybody's got, but I wanna see the prey "enveloped in a coiled tentacular ball." The Royal Society is holding out. I was able to get the DNA sequence off the tentacle they snagged, but after I forwarded it to the Cloning Department I felt sort of empty.

Actual Burning Man

I just can't get over how jealous I am of this guy, showing up on fire. I once read a book in which a race car driver, after a series of mishaps, shows up at a formal party in a dripping-wet tuxedo. I've always wanted to do that. This guy's aiming several notches higher.

I love the funny stance for the handshake. "Oh, do excuse me, I seem to be aflame."

Widowmaker

My bike got stolen! Probably right while I was writing my first ever post. The good news, such as it is, is that they left behind the clipped remains of one of my lock cables, letting me know it was the work of pros with tools and not some slip-up by me when I locked it up. They got my helmet, too.

This makes two bikes I've disappeared this year. The other one received an unfixable crack in its aluminum frame right where the back wheel attached.

Got a bicycle you need to "go away?" Looks like I'm your guy.

Sigh. I really liked that bike.

Tronka Warning

This is the real reason they don't sell Chevy Novas in Mexico.

Marc and I watched the first disc of Shogun tonight. Richard Chamberlain has two expressions: Glaring and Puzzled. Marc aptly pointed out that means he's in a tie with Jessica Alba.
