Seeing Serenity Again ...

Photo-A-Day #179 10/04/05

Guess what we did tonight. Yep, we saw the finished product, Serenity. Back in May we saw a sneak preview of the movie in Boston and it was fantastic then. Tonight it was a great ride back through the ‘verse. Joss Whedon is truly the master now, Lucas take notes.

Anyway, this is Allison and Joanne, they both heartily approve of Serenity. You can visit Joanne on her blog Auntie Jo-Jo (She’s listed under blogs of note on the sidebar) and of course Allison is part of this blog because she is my wonderful fiance. Also in attendance tonight were Neil and Andrea and Jenn. We all enjoyed the movie very much and a few of us became Regal Crown Club. It’s a good deal and it is free. Tonight was free popcorn night for Regal Crown Club. Couple that with the discount passes from the Entertainment Book and it made for a very nice and fairly inexpensive evening.

Also of note is the Serenity Novelization of the movie. This was done by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Jenn was at a Browncoats event and met the author and she got our copy signed. Thanks Jenn and thanks for the goodie bag you brought us from the show. It has a “Joss Whedon is my Master” bookmark and a couple of posters in it, good deal, Shiny!

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
