Musings of an Idiot

Firefly and Serenity

I finished watching the remaining episodes of ‘Firefly’ and it was sad when I finished watching the 14^th episode because I did not want to come out of the universe. And there were lots of story strands remaining unanswered. It is cool that ‘Serenity’ is coming out soon and the advance reviews which have come out say that it is going to be a nice movie – a pleasant surprise for general public, who have no idea of the ‘Firefly’ universe.



Darryn and me had been avoiding painting our shared office for almost an year and half – partly because we could not extract time for doing it and partly because it was too big of an ask. Since the school holidays started – we decided that we needed to do something about the room and after much deliberation and random sources of inspiration {like Jamie telling us that maybe we should use newspapers as our wallpapers} –we did something totally un-predictable and random. We stapled newspaper all across the room in different directions and symmetry and on top of that we started putting posters, movie clips, production stills and stuff – to create a color pattern and I must say that both Darryn and me are really pleased with the outcome of the exercise {especially since we managed it admist the countless number of meetings we have had over the past couple of days}. Anyone who comes into the office, at some point or the other gets lost in the myriad movie images staring from across the 4 walls. To top things off - we dismantled our huge desk, which took up 1/4th of our office area and Darryn got a smaller desk from his home and now the office looks really chic. I will take some snaps and post them up the next time I get the chance.

I feel drained, vacant and lost, at this point in time or maybe I am having one of 'those' days. Feel the desperate need to shout at top of my lungs till I can't scream anymore but it is not a practical thing to do. Something seems to be bothering me sub-consciously and my conscious mind can not do anything more than feel trapped in the unknown. I started chalking things out in my head for the next movie but obviously the best laid plans can come undone and am waiting for the first draft of the script -after which I can probably take more concrete steps. All I can do in the meantime is fantasize, dream and plan on what I would like to achieve with the movie.

Signing off for now.

{P.S - Forgot to mention couple of things
> We got trashed in our netball game, lost 30-12...probably one of the worst results we have had in a long time. Good thing though was that couple more team members discovered some of their talents at shooting and it is cool that we are still growing as a team
> Got my hands on the reciepe on how to make seekh kebabs and am going to do it over the coming weekend.}
