Acronym Wars

I’m chatting with my friend Amanda, describing my sudden Haiku kick. She makes me laugh. You probably had to be there, and since you weren’t you probably won’t laugh. Here’s a transcript anyway:

Haiku #1

I should be studying for an upcoming EE128 midterm. Instead I’m working on office code.

Code streams from fingers

As iTunes plays The Police

My grades slowly drop

I need lots of practice…

Serenity

I saw Serenity last night. What a great movie. I won’t say more, for those of you who haven’t yet seen it, other than to say, Go fucking see the movie!
Great quote from the Serenity Official Visual Companion, out of a couple paragraphs from Nathan Fillion:

I remember when Joss called me, back when he’d just written the movie. He said, “I’m done, I’m done, I finished.” I said, “Read me the first line and the last line.” He goes, “Okay, the first line is, ‘Earth-That-Was.’ And the last line is, ‘Wow, sure was weird the way Mal died in the first act.’”
