Eeee, Amazon sent me books! In lovely cardboard packaging! They are so shiny and pretty and square ::pets them:: And then there is bubblewrap, which is just the icing on the cake. I wish I had ordered The Monk instead of Caleb Williams, because apparently it is all sex/death/incest in a monastery, but ah well. I have Dracula. I have the BTVS script book. Some of the episodes have Spike. I might get to study Spike. Oooh, maybe I will have to compare Spike to Dracula, and then I can be all 'actually, Dracula was in an episode of BTVS, episode...', and I can push my glasses (I'll get them from somewhere) back up onto my nose, and be all academic and knowy about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hurray :D

I'm reading plays at the moment. I quite like John Ford. Penthea/Orgilus forever, omg! I'm not even slashing. Much. I have decided there are not enough plays about vampires and werewolves. Possibly living in low-rent housing and smoking and bitching about the lack of good hunting these days. No.

Also, I have watched the River Tam Sessions. They gave me fairly violent flashbacks to Samara in The Ring (oooh, Samara/River...), but I do love River. I had forgotten how much. She may become my laptop wallpaper very soon. Oh River.

A question: I have watched some episodes of Firefly. Not all of them - not anywhere NEAR all of them - but some of them. Whatever I could catch on Sci-fi in the middle of the day before someone wanted to watch something else. I have also read some discussions and fic. I know who all the people are, I know their basic relationships with each other, I know some of the things that have happened to them, I know the gist of the stuff with River. Should I endeavour to buy/rent/somehow watch the entire series before Serenity comes out, or should this basic knowlede be enough to get me through?

ETA (A note: I will probably not actually watch the series, because I doubt I'll find it for rental, and I'm saving for the start of uni at the mo, and because I'm going to be very busy in September, so probably won't have time for a series before the 30th, but there's always a chance, and I'd rather feel frustrated now than guilty and stupid walking out of the theatre, when it's much too late.) since finding out the Serenity release date is in November, not September ;)
