Just for the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe walking home the long way, with a bag of shopping, wasn&#8217;t the best idea I&#8217;ve had today.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently watching Firefly, the Joss Whedon, SciFi, Cowboys-in-Space series.<\/p>\n<p>It is an interesting show, though it has some fundamental flaws. Structurally it isn&#8217;t all that; the writing has basic issues, but it is presented in a very pretty way.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a cheap Babylon 5 offshoot.<\/p>\n<p>The structural issues of Firefly aren&#8217;t helped by a couple of key members of the cast being recycled from other Joss Whedon productions, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its own offshoot, Angel.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, when I say that Firefly has both fundamental and structural flaws I&#8217;m being far too kind.<\/p>\n<p>It is rubbish.<\/p>\n<p>The foundations are all wrong &#8211; to the point where the flaws kill it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday I get my broadband upgraded; I&#8217;m shifting from my current 6Mb download to 30Mb download.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s exciting, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is 4pm Sunday.
