Firefly

Well, only about two-and-a-half years late, we sat down and watched the pilot episode of Firefly on DVD courtesy bytepilot.

A good start, I think. Enjoyable bit of Traveller for the TV, Joss Whedon's hand is very evident; I look forward to the 11 (or is it 12?) remaining episodes, at which point we will have to borrow Serenity from somebody.

Got the arms (legs?) -hooky things that go round your ears- lengthened on my specs today. Only about a half centimetre, but they're much better. They no longer sit so close to my eyes that my eyelashes catch the lenses every time I blink. Try it to see just how annoyed you can become in a half hour. I still don't intend to wear them much (though I'm wearing them now), but at least when I do, they won't annoy the bejasus out of me.

In other news, there is no other news.

Low in calories.

Some kind, yet anonymous soul has put a virtual box of Valentine choccies on my information page.

That's the first Valentine's anything anyone has ever thought to send me in any way shape or form.

There was the card in 1973 or 1974 from some infatuated young lady, but the glow wore off as soon as I realised that the envelope had my address on it, but my cousin Steve's name. The entire subject has been pretty much under interdiction ever since.
