-- I just ordered Transformers: The Ultimate Guide on amazon for Mark. Because he's such a guy and even at 31 years of age still loves Transformers to the point of owning the series and movie on DVD, the soundtrack to the movie, and several toys from the bygone days of his childhood. He saw the book at borders and wanted to get it then - (for $25!) - I told him I'd get it for him cheaper on amazon, which I did, by almost $10.

-- I also just ordered HBO for the next six months, because it only added like $4 a month to our bill, and I wanted to be able to watch Rome. I didn't order it for Deadwood when S2 began (mostly because it's a given that we'll own the DVD), but I did for a TV series I'm not even certain will be worth it. (Though I'm pretty sure it will be. Look at the cast and creative folks behind it. I think it's going to be amazing!) Anyone know how many episodes the series will run? Six months should be long enough, right? Oh well. If I don't love it, I'll cancel HBO. Also, does anyone know when Deadwood S2 will be out? I keep checking, hoping, and no luck as yet.

I am such a geek.

-- I am listening to The Signal on my iPod today - which still needs his very own name - which is the podcast for Firefly/Serenity news. So far, I've heard interviews with both Adam Baldwin and Gina Torres. Awesome. It sounds like if Serenity does well enough, a sequel is very possible. Adam really stressed how opening weekend numbers matter in Hollywood, and that even fans who have already seen it can help best by seeing it again opening weekend.

-- Yes, my IPod seems like a "he" to me. I really need to come up with a name. Harry? Fred? The horse I owned in middle/high school was named Fred (he came with the name) and I loved him. He was actually a 4-H State Champion, so the name is not as ignomious as it sounds. Still, I'm not sure it fits my iPod. Fred, the iPod. Hmmm.

Any other suggestions?

[livejournal.com profile] nm973 pointed out to me that you might enjoy the essay on the music of Firefly that I've just posted on my LJ. I transcribed it from the book of Firefly-related essays, "Finding Serenity", edited by Jane Espenson, and as a score fanatic, I found it very interesting.

Thanks! I've bookmarked it to read at work tomorrow, on my...er...lunchbreak. Yeah. :)

It sounds really interesting. Thanks for transcribing it. :)
