icepixie: (Bored Mulder)
I finally got around to watching the recorded eps of Firefly I had (just the two-part pilot, or first two, or however they number their eps...whatever they showed on Sci-Fi last week). It's...not bad. Which is a better reaction than the "eh" it got the last time I tried to watch it, so hey. I think it might be the Western element that I'm not sold on. Or maybe it's that everybody MUMBLES ALL THE FREAKING TIME WHILE TALKING REALLY FAST and I have to turn on closed captioning to understand half the words that come out of their mouths, which always aggravates me.

I recognize that it's good, and the ways in which it is good, and it made me giggle a few times, and I love the music, and I was interested enough to watch all of these and make plans to watch the next few, but it has yet to really grab me, you know? It must be a Whedon thing, 'cause that's how I felt about Buffy and Angel, too.

So...more eps. And since people such as [livejournal.com profile] asinpterodactyl seem to be into it, I imagine I'll go along if a big group of people go see the movie in Mt. Vernon (especially if I like the other eps).

That said, I think I'm a little in love with Jayne. Hee. He's definitely my favorite character.

Slowly, slowly comes the Paradise Lost. I'm breaking it up with various pieces by Alexander Pope, who is slightly more readable, and sort of funny. In a way. My Chickering translation of Beowulf came today, so I may start that soon. Or I might do Blake. Decisions, decisions. Speaking of which...

By, let's say, September 26th, since that's the date printed on my nice yellow sheet of paper, I have to turn in a proposal for the written part of my comps (my college's senior exercise, for anyone who's new around these parts). Since I've taken the intro courses in both poetry and fiction, I can get myself a creative writing emphasis on my English degree. That presumably means that I need to decide to do one or the other for comps. However, I have NO IDEA which I want to do. Write a 9-12-page story or 9-12 pages of poems?

Fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or poetry, fiction or--

SOMEBODY MAKE UP MY MIND FOR ME!!!

(Also? Submissions for Advanced Fiction are due in October. CRAP CRAP CRAP.)
