I am at home again for the second day in a row. On Monday I ate crabcakes for lunch at a restaurant, whose reputation I will not slander here, but I will not be eating there again. From that lunch, I seem to have contracted some sort of vile stomach ailment which keeps me awake all night running for the bathroom. Today I am on a all-liquids diet.

So, since I'm not at work, I thought I'd take this opportunity to update this rotting website. It seems that lately the only time I think of anything to write about, it's in the morning on my way into work, so by the time I get home and actually have a chance to post something, that idea is long gone.

We bought the only season of Firefly on DVD a couple of weeks ago at the recommendation of many many people. Firefly was aired on Friday nights on Fox a while back, and as any show in that damned timeslot would have been, it was cancelled — without even airing all of the episodes.

The first two-hour episode was a little difficult for me to get into. It had a few technical problems that didn't sit too well with me, but I kept watching. We are now on the 4th or 5th episode, and the show has really blossomed.

The episode called "Mrs. Reynolds" had me laughing so hard that I maimed myself. Somehow my hands/arms were flailing wildly at one point and smacked together, and I thought for a moment that my right hand had drawn my left hand's blood. We paused the DVD and turned on more light to check, and in fact I was not bleeding but it still hurt like the dickens, whatever that means. At this point, I can't even remember what was so funny...
