Things this Wednesday

I'm still fairly content free right now. I'm enjoying another eggs and potato heavy Passover. I think I'm going to Red Hot & Blue tonight to watch the Bullets (I refuse to accept this 'Wizards' renaming nonsense) play the Bulls. Barbecue Beef Brisket. Mmmm...

I'm getting another publication bonus from work, which is swell, as I can re-direct that toward replacing the burnt out husk of my old CRT. I'm stepping up to at a 19" LCD. With pivot action. I spend half my time at work with really lengthy documents, and rotating into portait mode is super-nifty.

Saw "Serenity" Trailer. Continue to not get "Firefly" at all. Sorry. Does nothing for me. Zippo.

Welcome to the Anti-Squee. Or I suppose it's more of an Un-Squee.

I didn't hate the show when it aired overly much, but I did come away with the feeling that Joss and ME thought that they were doing some Really Profound and Meaningful, but the finished product didn't live up to their lofty expectations.

I understand that some folks are still big Joss-fans and are excited to see something by him that he's clearing interested in and enthusiastic about. I'm just not willing to put that much trust in Joss anymore.

Oh, I'm sure there are people who just genuinely like it. Regardless of whether it has the Whedon brand name on it. Just as I happen to not care for it, also regardless of the Whedon brand name. There are folks who will love and hate things based upon that, but I'm generally not one.

Joss, obviously, really cares about the product. Which is generally a good thing. In the specifics? I just don't give a crap about the setting or the characters so it doesn't matter. It might well actually be quite good - won't matter because I'm just not into it.
