Serenity N… last night!

The chain of events that lead me to watch Serenity on opening night is long, but not overly complicated.

Somewhere along his path in life, Tim Bard watched an episode of Buffy and liked it. He’s not a fanboy, but he’s close. Okay, he might be a fanboy.

Tim and Theo became friends.

Ohio struck my as a crappy place to be (almost simultaneous with Theo moving back from France and Tim needing a place NOT with an ex):

“Hey Theo, need a roommate?”

The house called “La Casa” was formed. Hilarity ensued. Well, hilarity in a very non-productive sort of way. And drinking, and darts. Lots of ensuing ensued, quite.

Tim makes me watch BtVS a la “A Clockwork Orange”. My droogs beat me up by the river. Firefly comes out on DVD. Tim buys. I am once more chained to a chair with my eyelids forced open.

Tim moves to Vermont. As he is stepping through the threshold, he asks me to make a solemn vow that I will watch Serenity. I might have nodded. The sun was in my eyes.

Serenity comes out in the theater. I watch it, opening night. Other than the near fatal dose of American Consumerism Humanity, it was an enjoyable experience.

And by enjoyable, I mean totally sweet. I’ll do an actual review later.
