Dawns are Gray

Lately I've just been waking up around 4am and pretty much staying that way. I try to meditate to calm down but usually remain jingly-jangly from bad dreams. Last night's was the funny sort where you are freaked out but then when you look at it rationally it was pretty funny: basically I had to go back to my old school AND watch the earth get destroyed (it was like gravity broke and everything was vacuumed off the planet before it imploded, and somehow Transformers were involved...).

Anyhow so I've spent the last three and some hours listening to the birds talk outside the window. I'm too tired to make breakfast but I'm taking a granola bar to work with me and promise to buy something good for lunch there--no more Old Habits for me.

I'm telling myself this is the last time I'm going to be hurt, dammit.

You Killed Us, But We're Still Here

Here's the transcript of Joss's pre-movie message at all the Serenity screenings I've missed.

I like to think of myself kinda like Mal and Serenity: the world can keep pushing me down, but I'll keep flying.


The Ballad of Serenity


take my love
take my land
take me where I cannot stand
I don't care
I'm still free
you can't take the sky from me

take me out
to the black tell 'em I ain't coming back
burn the land
and boil the sea
you can't take the sky from me

have no place
I can be
since I found Serenity
but you can't take the sky from me
