Joss Wheadon is my master now

A weekend that re-affirmed my view that things make you happy.

Shopping in Croydon on Saturday. If the world needs an enema, Croydon is where they are going to insert it. While you can see that everyone involved with the town has really striven to make it as pleasant as possible, with trees, pedestrian areas and trams, it’s let down by the enormous drag factor of its citizens. This is where they get the guests and audience for day-time confrontation shows, just running round the place with a big net, or tempting them into the back of a van with McDs. The teenagers are ugly, the adults are fat and the kids run wild without adult supervision but free from the fear of abduction because they’re all ugly too.

It’s not all bad, there was one girl in a tee shirt that read ‘future footballer’s wife’. Rather amusing and, for that town, like a night out with Wilde, Marx and Rochester.

Came home knackered and stuck the film ‘Serenity’ on.

Oh yes - fantastic!

In fact it was so good I shot out the next day and bought the box set of the series. This is something I’ve not done since I was single and Saturday night could be something of a drag but oh my God it was excellent. Have only watched a bit of the first episode but it’s like the first time I saw Star Wars…better, in fact, as the memory has not been pissed all over by the sequels.

Ah, sci-fi and western mythology, is there anything better?

Seems contradictory to say "single" and "Saturday night was a drag" in the same sentence.
