Now Playing: Matchbox 20's "Real World"

as i burn the Batman Begins soundtrack, i thought i'd go ahead and do my daily update dance.

oh, right. you can't see that. well it's a sight to behold, believe you me.

i finished watching "Firefly" last night. i have the box set -- having purchased it after renting the first disc of the set from Netflix. it make me sad that quality programming gets cancelled after a dozen or so episodes when we have long-running crap still filling the airwaves. it was, simply put, a highly imaginitive television show that got cancelled before it could even finish its first season. if you like westerns, sci-fi, or Joss Whedon's work, this has your name written all over it. this September, "Serenity," a movie based on this show, is coming out, so i'll see you at the movies. or you'll see me. either way, i'll be seeing it in the theatre.

it's a very strange time and place to be when you're helping your parents with their homework. my dad is taking a class that has peppered with various computer programs (Word, Power Point, Excel, and now Dreamweaver) and i've been the "go-to" person for help in these. my mom calls me up:

"hey, you know web design."

"barely."

"but you have a website."

"yeah, but it's Angelfire," i say, not bringing the Fertility Center's website into the discussion.

"Angelfire?" she repeats. "Is that like Dreamweaver?"

"Yes," I roll my eyes, "that's exactly where I was going with that statement."

"Well good then, think you can come over and help him after work?"

so i did. i've helped him with his other projects too, and i've realized that i'm just not cut-out to be a computer progamming teacher. sorry. maybe if the subject was screenwriting . . .

oh hey, Batman Begins is done burning. time for me to go label the tracks. tootles!
