Firefly

I didn't see Firefly when it was first broadcast.  I have Netflix to thank for catching it on dvd.  What a great television show, (space cowboys, essentially), and at the end a good movie to tie up the loose ends.  While I lament it only lasting one season, so much better that than for it to die out with weak writing and characters.

Here's a fun quiz about the show.  I didn't do too badly for having seen it only once, but I partly attribute that to the show being so good itself, that the story and characters kept my attention.

Your result for The Firefly / Serenity Test...

Nicely Done!!!

Here's a link to the quiz.

More Good Fun

Here is Scott Weaver and his replication of San Fransisco made out of toothpicks.

Lunch, Anyone?

Here is fun food art over at Funky Lunch.

The pig reminds me of a poor man's Boar's Head, appropriately made with ham, but I think I'd rather eat Nessie.

Rickrolling

Rod Dreher first introduced me to Rickrolling, an occurrence when one opens a link or post only to find one's opened a portal to a Rick Astley video. He's found another way to be Rickrolled. Try not to cry, all you die hard Nirvana fans - this is fun stuff.

Dying Easter Eggs, Naturally

Here's a video tutorial on how to use natural materials to dye Easter eggs. I've done this before, and I don't know if it is a matter of the video quality, but my eggs had much more vibrant colors, especially the blue from the red cabbage. Mine were a beautiful bright blue. At the end the host makes a "crack" about happy dying. It is more apropos for Holy week than I think he realizes. Pax.

Rescue Me!

Another funny. It's said that a joke is only funny if there is an element of truth to it. Did you laugh?


The dig is toward government workers, but I think it might be made toward society in general.

Too Funny

Apparently, someone with a great sense of humor has personified President Obama's teleprompter, communicating through a blog and a twitter account.
Check it out for some lighthearted and sometimes pointed humor.

Really great and funny interview with Congressman McCotter.

Since It's So Cold

I wish it would just go ahead and snow! Here's a fun quiz to take while you're waiting for the fun, flaky, white stuff.

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent

You feel like something good will happen to you eventually, but not soon. You don't really like to work, unless work feels like play. You only are successful when you are doing what you love. You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing. Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them. When it comes time to relax, you always go the extra mile. You take relaxing as seriously as anything else in life.
