What I did on my Sickie Vacation

September 30th, 2004

I spent some of my sick day typing up my notes for Prague. They are at The Inaccurate Tourist, the travel log.

I also spent some time at WikiTravel updating Paris, mainly the monuments I went to go see with Thea and Craig.

I finished watching Firefly, and I was left wondering (1) how on earth did I never ever hear of this show while it was on TV? and (2) how on earth did it ever get cancelled? Honestly, it is/was some of the most original television that I’ve seen — which is particularly amazing because it deliberately uses some of the most clichéed clichées from the sci-fi and western genres.

I also watched the last episode of Seinfeld, which I hadn’t yet seen.

The rest of the time, I slept.

    Firefly is okay and all, but if you like truly groundbreaking television, you should really watch 24. 24 (aka The Jack Bauer Power Hour) is the best thing to hit TV since Saved By The Bell! Roger, Peter and Ana will back me up on this. The first two seasons are out on DVD here, I’m not sure about France. Season 3 comes out in Region 1 in December.

    I agree with Paul in that 24 is great. Kinda like the way crack is great!

    However, Firefly is friggin’ awesome! My old chum Chris Williams got me into it a while back and I watched grainy, miniature versions of the episodes downloaded onto my computer, but last year I buckled down and bought the whole box-set, and it is a real treat. Can’t wait till the movie comes out.

    (My original post used the term “Firefox” instead of “Firefly” – you’re getting to me Skraba!)
