Ahhh! Weekend Turmoil!

But first, some pimping. I know I've told some people to read deepredbelle's Mythologies, and if I didn't, well, I am now. She writes like poetry, the good kind, and as anyone in my writing group knows, I'm no fan of poetry normally, so the fact I like this should tell you how good it is.

Also, I am a bad, bad person for forgetting to pimp Silk by fan_elune. I was at work last week reading that and I could have left early; I stayed to finish it. I read Middlesex a while ago, and the processing of silk that she brings up here has that same inside-knowledge feel, and she wrote about Fanty and Mingo, Serenity-only characters, and made them fabulous (as in 'absorbing' but also as in faaaaaaabulous, savvy?). One of the most sensual and awesome backstories for side characters I have ever read, for real.

Aaaaaaand we're back to weekend peril!!! Friday might be movie plans, but my sister and brother-in-law are coming in at midnight to Newark. Anyone know how long it takes to get from here to there by transit and how much? I might just do that and try to make the movie.

Saturday, I think I'll be home to see aforementioned sibling and sibling-in-law, but there's a party I want to go, too. It necessitates finding a costume, a little last-minute, moreover, but sibling and in-law will be at a wedding, so I could probably go. Maybe I could drive down? I have no idea.

Interesting

To those I haven't answered about my last post, I'm just giving up on it for now. No one is more frustrated by inability to rectify the myriad ways I approach one topic than me, I promise. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to drop something so fast, it's just a tad too depressing for me right now.

I distracted myself with a preview of the Serenity novelization. I have to say, having some experience with novelizations, that this one is pretty good. The selection up on Amazon has a rewritten account of the scene from Serenity Valley that was the opener of the episode "Serenity" (let's have a Pee-Wee's Playhouse "Woooooo!" everytime I have to write 'Serenity,' okay? WOOO!!!!). It has all the dialogue faithfully represented and it's got a good rhythm to it. Think I might have to pick this one up. I've bought more embarrassing novelizations in my day, for movies I didn't like half so well or that weren't half so smart as Serenity. So, why not?

Also, WOOOO!!!
