Final Firefly fandom fpost (this title's going to be alliterative if I have to kill the english language!)

Fandom is an odd thing. It's something that I've always watched from the outside. It's something at which I've occasionally poked (loving) fun. It was always something I've known I had the capacity for, given my rabid and somewhat disturbing enthusiasm for specific telly shows over the years. However, it hasn't been until this year that I've been able to fully grasp the fandom flag and wave it firmly over my head. And, of course, readers of this blog have pretty much copped that flag full in the face (and it's a bitch to get untangled, I know!)
So I'm going to try and calm that whole side of the blog down, and actually write stuff people may want to read. I might even get around to making up that promised web page of photos from New Zealand, instead of obsessively making Firefly/Serenity tshirts (or not, as the case may be). So for the moment, all I've got to say is:
Watch Firefly! It's awfully good! It may not turn you into a slavering fan, as I have become, but at the very least you'll enjoy it. If possible, buy the dvds. Because you're going to want to watch it again.
Keep watching the skies!...Er, no, what I actually meant was...Keep an eye out for Serenity the Movie - in cinemas in Australia November 10, 2005. It's a dark, delightful, shocking and powerful rollercoaster ride of a movie, and if you love your sf, you're going to love it.
And thus ends my squealing fangirl post.
