The Joys and Sorrows of Firefly

This past summer I was introduced the wonder that is Joss Whedon's Firefly. As soon as I was able I bought the series online and watched it all in one day with DC. We both were in love with the show and ran out and bought Serenity after finishing the series. Having now watched the movie twice and revelled in the special features I can blog about it.

Rant
WHY THE HELL DID THEY END WITH ONE SEASON!
So wrong. So very, very wrong. What's gonna happen to Zoe now that she's lost her hubby? Will Kaylee and Simon last? Is the Alliance still after them? Does Mal and Inarra get together? What was Book's past?
As you can see, I am a lil agitated.

Joss Whedon's The Dollhouse starts this month, pretty exciting. I hope it turns out well though there are so many recycled actors from Buffy and Angel.

Boutiques and Raves with a mild Rant

Knitting is Knotty…
So I’m told. Today I visited Magpie Yarn [ here ] in downtown Lexington and now really wanna learn how to crochet or knit or something with the amazing collection they have there. Who cannot love soft, beautifully colored balls of yarn? I’m just sayin’…
I’m definitely not the domestic type but I’m definitely not going to pass up anything that could possibly be pretty and promise me some awesome accessories so knitting, I’ll give it a chance.
When checking the shop out I met a very pleasant woman, who I never got the name of but I’m guessing its Jane Homeyer, the owner. (If not, tell me your name hun, I think you’re amazing). The shop holds classes and she says that the shop welcomes those who just want to come in and sit and knit for a while (how homey can ya get?).
BTW the site is easy to navigate, and I for one will not even take the time to learn how to use a site if I have to (lazy I know).

Magpie Yarn is right there in a square of amazing boutiques such as Out of the Box featuring funky jewelry, art, and very cool clothes. There’s also The Black Market, another boutique with great shoes, books on the craziest stuff and art, mini Buddha candles, etc, etc.
Also check out Sqecial Media. Sqecial has the largest boutique like store I’ve ever seen in this region. They have boks (old and new), clothes, wall hangings, candles, incense, jewelry, and just rows and rows of stuff! I was able to get my hands on Francesca Lia Block’s Hangman and Ruby today (YAYAYAYAY!) as well as a bumper sticker for my laptop that says Faith:verb which I certainly think is awesome.
Downer to boutiques: Incense induced headache/dizziness.

Rave
Handmade paper! So today, looking around boutiques and all I ran into a lot of different handmade products, including journals (my addiction). Reading about handmade paper was super interesting too. Apparently the stuff is made from Lokta, a plant that regenerates way faster than trees (6 years I think) and is way easier on the environment that way. So cool ya? Plus handmade paper looks great and feels really nifty.

Rant
Starbucks. So they want to help the environment?
1) Why aren’t they using Fair Trade Coffee?
2) Why don’t they have recycling bins in their stores?
3) Why are they using paper towels in their bathrooms instead of hand dryers?
I mean, really?

Rant

Un-Christian
http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2007/nov/03/a-momentous-shift/I found this article through Stumble and was like, “oh hey, we sell that book.” After reading the article I’m reminded yet again why I’m aggravated by people, both Christian and non-christian alike. Everyone is judgmental, even the hippie-I’m all for everyone to be happy people. Jesus, Ghandi, Buddha, and so many really cool peeps said a lot of stuff about love and a lot of stuff about how to live but they all were down on the judging others thing. Everyone should look at themselves before they tell someone else how to run their lives and try to be an example not a dictator (Hitler’s bad ok). Sure, if you see someone looking for some guidance give ‘em a hand don’t cram a bible or a torah or a whatever down their throats. Sheesh. BTW this book sounds pretty cool…I’m just sayin’.
