V from 'V for Vendetta'. The best costume for folk as insecure and shy as I. XD

Know that instance in which, the night before a unit exam, you've got that one song on the brain which shows no signs of leaving you alone?

Allow me to summarize the mentality preceding today's bio test:

"Got to know
Got to know
the cell structure of prokaryotes

Have to study
like nobody"

Extra points if RC is laughing her arse off whilst reading this.

Either medicine and hours of sleep, or curling up with a nice mug of tea, slippers and a cozy blanket while watching re-runs of old Looney Tunes cartoons. ^^

Mom: "Well, I say you should close the blinds, head on back to bed and hope your morning sickness pass--"

Me: "Mother! ... or should I say grandmother?"

Mom: "*snrk* I meant to say motion sickness!"

Aside from the fact I was half-delirious in semi consciousness and three days of lacking good nutrition (thanks, stomach -off to the failblog with you!), I still found it amusing. Neh.

2002: the TV series 'Firefly' is aired, depicting the life of humanity after finding and colonizing a new star system in a futuristic, sci-fi setting with a notable flavor of traditional Western movies. Created by Joss Whedon and pitched as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things", the series explores the lives of the crew aboard firefly-class spaceship Serenity as they eek out a living on the edge of society, taking up transport jobs (regardless of whether or not they are criminal in nature) to make a living outside of the current government's oppressive control.

Due to eleven of the fourteen episodes being aired out of sequence, resulting in a disorganized plot, the series was cancelled before the last three episodes could be aired.

2005: Despite its cancellation, Firefly retained a large fanbase and cult following. Because of this success, Whedon and Universal Studios release 'Serenity', a movie based on the series and considered to be a continuation of the series -at the very least, what the second season might have been like.

Some, like myself, have been introduced to the Firefly series due to seeing Serenity. Regarding the movie, my feelings are mixed, but having actually sat down and watched the series as of late*... Oh, how it exhales sheer awesome on so many levels.

The main cast is almost as quirky and diverse as the genres shown -this much you can gather in the pilot episode, which will leave you craving to see how the ragtag crew goes on from there. Seriously, whenever you've the time, check Firefly out, and perhaps by the end of it you will share my lament at its unfortunately short lifespan.
 
* Know how most sci-fi shows (Star Wars, for example...) disregard the reality that there is no noise in space in favor of kasplosions and ships powering into hyper-drive? I was quite impressed to find this is not the case with the Firefly verse; with some nice musical scores to boot. :3
