The first day of the rest of my life ...
Thanks for the good wishes. And my, what perceptive men comment on my blog!
We went out for dinner. Just for the record, I did not die. I'm beginning to think that maybe my allergist was a tad overdramatic.
Jeff's birthday is next week, so we got each other new speakers for the house. Our right speaker has been dead for some time. However, our right car speaker is out as well, so music is beginning to sound normal that way. Until, of course, we play something older that uses the left and right channels separately. Fun. (Hey, kids, like this Beatles track? You should hear it with vocals!)
Christmas and birthdays have resulted in an audio-visual glut. I've got ... five? Six? Music DVDs, plus "Serenity," season 1 of "Babylon 5," and the entire series of "Space: Above and Beyond." Sci-fi heaven.
You know you're watching too much science fiction when you dream new "Firefly" episodes. (Not that Malcolm Reynolds is not welcome to show up in my dreams any time, but it wasn't even that kind of a dream.)
For Christmas I got Jeff an XM radio subscription and tuner. Oh my, is that nice. Live INXS. Acoustic Yes. Spock's Beard. I listen mostly to "Fred," the "Classic Alternative" station; and "Music Lab," the prog rock station. The kids like to stick to "Cinemagic," which is all movie soundtracks all the time.
So if our eyes are glazed over for the next few months, you know why. Music. Sci-fi. Music. Sci-fi. Dude.

If you're dreaming up new Firefly episodes, write them out and share them!
