The alone time in the condo continues, only I'm really enjoying the quiet now, and really grateful things turned out this way. I caught up on my sleep. I talked with Jennifer; our first really great conversation since she moved to Seattle. I tried to watch the Lord Of The Rings, but kept drifting off, and was annoyed when the movie kept waking me up, and so I shut it off and slept some more. Later, I returned Mark's dvd to Hollywood, planned stuff with Mollie (who was also, randomly watching LOTR), rented porn, picked up some books at Borders, went home, ate, read, worked on some cd stuff, jacked off, showered, and now I'm here again. I almost felt lonely this morning, and now I just feel relieved that no one else is here.

I'll probably get some more CD work done within the next 24 hours. Shawn really seemed to like what I had done on his cds, and it would be nice if I could one day finish those so he actually listen to them as they were intended to be heard; to experience them with the images and the edits in order. And I want to say that it was a great experience watching him listen to this stuff, and seeing that he really did get it; that I had at least on some level achieved something with my insanity! lol And I was amazed at how much I enjoyed listening to them too. I thought I'd finish them and never listen to them again, but as odd as it was to be heard in such a painfully honest, blood, sweat & bones kind of way - it was also rewarding to be appreciated for digging to such depths. I've made some fairly powerful cds, but I've never been with the people they were made for as they experienced them, so this was a special treat for me, which may never happen again, so I'm trying to keep that with me. And his feedback on it; his memories coming back from my words and music - that was so great! Even the not so nice bits had been transformed into art - which made them strangely beautiful somehow. I hope when all is said and done that the cds are enjoyed by everyone who hears them: including me.

Oh! There is an article & a blurb about SERENITY in the new Entertainment Weekly (August 19, 2005 issue); any press for Firefly / SERENITY is good press in my opinion; I can't express to you how much I want that movie to succeed! Actually, I want everything Joss touches to succeed, but I already love Firefly / SERENITY, and that's the next hurdle, so I'm really itching to see this film turn heads. Mollie & I tried to convince Shawn & Jonathan to watch Firefly, but they turned us down. Maybe they will see the film first, and if they like it they can go back and watch the series that spawned it. I imagine many people will do that. I know that since the film started being promoted more & more people have started renting it. I recommend it to people at work all the time. Sci-Fi channel is airing the show now, and while I'm grateful to them for giving the show more of an audience, it seems kind of hypocritical of them. When Firefly was cancelled by FOX, Joss tried to sell the show to other networks (including Sci-Fi) and they all turned him down. He got the movie to work though, but it saddens him that he can't really tell all the stories that he wanted to in just a movie, or even a trilogy; he'd need a tv series to do that, and if this movie could revive the series, that would be my dream come true. The cast is amazing, and Gina Torres looks fricking amazing in the cast photo in the magazine. Firefly actors Summer Glau, Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres & Adam Baldwin were all featured as different characters in the Buffy-verse. Firefly actors Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin & Morena Baccarin have all voiced characters on Justice League Unlimited. I love those guys.
