Firefly Marathon 2009: Our Mrs. Reynolds

Come on, let's face it, guys.  This episode is a wet dream for most men.  We have all the elements here:  

  • the blushing, innocent bride who needs a man to take care of her
  • the blushing, hot innocent bride who needs a man to take care of her
  • the blushing, ever-so-willing bride who needs a man to take care of her
  • did I mention hot?

Also, this is the same bride who wants to do nothing but please her man in any way she can - even at the expense of her freedom to choose!  Oh, wait, that's bad.

What I really like about this episode is the true strength in the character of Saffron or whatever her real name is.  I cheer for Yo/Saff/Bridge when she proves that she is not what she seems.  She turns the tables on all men (sure, Mal is a nice guy but he is rare in this Verse).  She is a survivor.  I only wish we had learned more about this character.  Her past must be very interesting.  I suppose it doesn't really matter because Joss Whedon writes women characters that can kick ass.  Only this time, she is a woman who kicks ass for her own survival.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
