gwynLast night I had a dream that took place in the Firefly universe, primarily with Zoe and Jayne. I know that Mal, Kaylee, Simon, and River were elsewhere even though I don't think they were in the dream (although I don't remember all of it, just a few minutes of it). It had to be post-Serenity the theatrical movie, because Wash was gone and Zoe was trying to move on. I don't remember what I was doing, other than discussing things with them as we did some kind of adventure thing. Zoe and Jayne had had a romantic history before Wash (clearly my dreams Joss themselves, since she met Jayne in the Out of Gas flashbacks) and they were trying not to get reinvolved, though they both wanted each other. Jayne was a whole different guy, very soft-spoken, sweet, thoughtful, and intelligent, even though he still dressed like the Jayne Cobb we know and love, and apparently that boorish Jayne was a front that he used for some kind of deep undercover thing.
At some point the dream turned into something else entirely, but I was definitely enjoying running around a space station with them (it looked a lot like the place in The Message) and finding out about Jayne's real personality. My dreams are rarely fannish in a good way, and almost always devolve into something bad or a flat out nightmare, so it was nice to be with characters like Zoe and Jayne.
I am so glad I've discovered Community.belmanoir and I watched a bunch of episodes the other night, including last week's, which I thought was a kind of genius of meta-ness that I have never seen the likes of before. At first, I was all "Oh, crap, a clips episode" because I hate clips episodes. Then I was all, "I saw that episode, but I sure don't remember that scene." Then I thought, with the third clip, "Hey, they're doing episodes we never saw," and then I finally realized Oh. My. God. It's a clips episode of clips that never happened. Whoever thought that piece of genius up should get an Emmy, really.
I loved that the clips included, as well, their constant fighting, and a couple of Lord King Bad Vid type montages of UST. (Although, I'd toyed with using "Gravity" for a vid, and now I'll probably never be able to listen to that without laughing.) It's clear that the people involved in this show are fans. They know how fans think, and what they care about, and subvert it so perfectly.
I'm desperately behind in my vid for Club Vivid... it's awful. The deadline is this weekend and I'm only halfway done, but I feel like I've run into a brick wall and can't get the most important parts done. I've never worked up this close to a deadline before. I hate it that I'm getting later and later with my vids every time I make something for a con lately. And I have to start on the premiering vid immediately afterward. (Which, btw, thanks to everyone for voting in the poll -- the winner by one vote was Community.) I'm not the kind of person who likes to work up against deadlines; I prefer to have time to let things sit, percolate a bit, and then go back and fix the problems that become clearer when you have time away from them.
I'm not as excited about Fast Five opening this weekend as I'd hoped to be -- I think it's because I don't have anyone I share the fandom with to go with to the movie. It's not something that's much fun alone, and it's kind of depressing to go to something you feel so passionately about all by yourself. No one to squee with and grab their arm when Dom and Brian look like they're going to kiss or fuck each other or something.

It's not a tear-jerker tribute but shows her as the able woman we all remember her as.

If I were anywhere near your area, I would very happily go with you, as I don't really have anyone to see it with, either.
