Did you know you could fly

So last night I decided to introduce my mother to Firefly. We watched the pilot, and then she said, "well we can watch the next episode if you want to," and then after that one she said, "ok fine just put the last one [on the disc] in!"

So I've turned my mom into a Firefly fan :) I told her we could probably get through the whole series before she leaves :)

I'm finally starting to feel a little better -- most of the fever-ish symptoms have stopped, now there's just the cough and the sore throat from all the coughing. And the being worn out easily. This one really knocked me on my butt.

I also finally decided to watch Serenity for the first time since I saw it in the theatre. I bought the DVD when it came out to show my support, but I never watched it because I couldn't bear to see a certain part happen again. Finally, now, the wound is not so fresh, and I was able to watch it again. I'd forgotten how good it was.

Ok, so this damn cold thing that I thought was just cold + fever has gotton worse, not better, and now I have a particularly sore throat. Not ouch-I've-been-coughing-too-much sore throat, but big-swollen-strep-feeling sore throat.

Lovely.

I guess I'll be heading to the health center tomorrow. Not to mention that I finally took a look at our take home final and the question is more like term paper material. Not sure how she expects us to answer that in an exam-length essay. And the fever means that my brain doesn't work very well, so I'm pretty much drawing a blank even on where to start.

On the good side -- Serenity trailer!!! And since I'm in the mood, I'm gonna go watch an episode or two of Firefly while sipping hot soup and pampering my sickiness.
