Big Hugs to bestest sweetie in the whole wide world for fixing my computer - have been unconnected for a couple of weeks now... Will take me hours just to catch up on LJ :)
If there's any way you can avoid it, don't talk to your sweetheart today. If not, hire an interpreter. Someone who speaks 'cooperation-ese' fluently will do just fine.
According to my sister - the movie Serenity makes more sense if you view it BEFORE the last three episodes of the TV series on the DVD's (evidently the last three episodes were not shown on TV). I have read that it is a follow-up to the series.
