Firefly

I follow an amazing Tumblr by Jesse Lonergan called Dancer a Day.  Monday through Friday he posts a drawing of a character dancing.  It's silly, it almost always nerdy, and it's completely awesome.  It gives me a smile and it makes me question my geek-cred when I don't recognize the character.

Dude.  If this doesn't make you smile, somebody must have peed on your rug.

Yeah, well. The Dude abides.

Or this?  I mean....come on!

So, do you ever think that when they’re alone and nobody else is around, Han sings Wind Beneath My Wings to Chewbacca?
Of course not, he’s Han Solo! He’d never sing Bette Midler!
But if anybody ever deserved a heartfelt singing of Wind Beneath My Wings, it’s Chewbacca.

Its fantastic and I highly recommend checking it out.

A couple months ago Josh and I gave up on watching the newest version of Battlestar Gallactica.  A very generous friend from book club loaned me her blu-ray discs of the entire show (for longer than I want to admit), and Josh and I tried but just couldn't finish it.  Every time we started to like a character something terrible happened to them, and not in the Game of Thrones way, more like in the way of the show Lost, where it just opens up 8 more story lines none of which I have the energy to follow because I want to know WHERE THE POLAR BEAR CAME FROM???

Sorry...  Anyway, we gave up and I felt the need to redeem the sci-fi genre to Josh.

I turned to Firefly.  A coworker of mine told me about this show several years ago and I've loved it ever since.  Josh was fully on board and he enjoyed it just as much as I did.  I picked up the TV series from the library on a Friday, we watched the entire thing by the next Thursday, and I bought Serenity the following Friday.  We both love the show, and I think we will be purchasing the DVD set soon :)

The timing just happened to coincide with Jesse Lonergan asking for requests on his Dancer A Day tumblr.  Being in a Firefly state of mind, I requested:  The Crew of Firefly.

Today this was the post:

The crew of Firefly for Kristina!


I love the Internet.  Thanks Jesse!
