Finally, last night I watched Serenity.  I had wanted to for a while and my mum kept telling me "you're a sci-fi nerd, you'll enjoy it" but I just never got around to it.  For me, watching a movie these days constitutes sitting still, doing nothing, and having to think myself into the plot.  Now, whilst I don't normally have an issue with this, these past few weeks have been a little taxing and when I sit down to watch tv I like it to be as mindless as a plastic chopping board.

All the signs were pointing me in the direction of the tv last night ... I'm a regular reader of another blog and he mentioned how good a programme Serenity was (I admit I had seen bits of it when it was screening on Sky 1 but I never wanted to absorb into it so I changed it to a doco), then mum rang and said she had seen it advertised for screening on sky movies that night, me ?  I just wanted to go home and forget about my day, so I sunk onto my bed and mindlessly surfed.  At 8.30pm I woke up and generally when I watch a movie for the first 5 minutes I'm either hooked on it or not, I was.

Its kinda wierd how when I really just want to space out I tend to find the wierdest programmes to watch, I caught the better part of a movie called Blind Flight yesterday about an Irishman and an englishman held captive in Lebanon, a true story that kinda blew me away a little, and a couple weeks ago I actually watched House of Sand and Fog and F*ck me if it wasn't one of the best movies I have seen in years (I typically watch fluff movies or RSB flicks, more for entertainment value and distraction as opposed to feeling things) and then a couple nights ago I actually watched Million Dollar Baby, F*ck me again!  Now I've always been a fan of Hilary Swank (Boys don't cry) but mixed with Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, what a team!.

Anyway, back to my point, I watched Serenity last night and although slow moving in parts it was a very good movie, now what I would like to know is, was the movie a pre-cursor to the series or was it the final chapter?

My weekend is shaping up to be something from a teenagers diary ...

I have my sister and her partner arriving from Auckland tonight and they are staying with us (YAY) and then tomorrow we have a wedding to attend (Destiny Church !!! hmmmm should be interesting) and then sunday its a birthday dinner for my brother before my sister goes home on monday.

Oh well, no time like the present to go and get myself lost in work type stuff.
