As you may be able to tell, my formal training is not as a writer. My degrees are in physics and education. In my day job, I work in supplemental education, which is why my productivity is lowest when report card season hits.

Firefly joining the Navy!

TwistyHat
writes, The department for Morale, Welfare and
Recreation(MWR) in the American Navy have made a deal
with Fireflyfans, who’ve donated 250 DVD sets of the
series. So through the Navy’s “Afloat” library
program, US sailors around the world will be able to
enjoy Firefly during their downtime (while Joss
Whedon is working on the motion picture). How’s
that for good PR? Maybe Universal and Fox will take
note of how much money Firefly fans are willing to
put into the show.
