Pumpkin Pie and Firefly

I really love Pumpkin pie and I wonder why we never make it other than this time of the year. I am actually making two Pumpkin Pies but not in the traditional sense of Pumpkin Pie. One is a Pumpkin/Gingerbread hybrid and I can't wait to see how it turns out. The other is a pudding, cool whip thingie.

Not much going on around here. Brandon is spending the night with a friend. Actually, he slept over last night and then wheedled another night out of me. I enjoy having the house to myself but I am all too aware that in about ten or more years this is how it is going to be *all* the time and that always adds a touch of melancholy. Just a touch. I don't think there is such a thing as Pre empty nest sydrome....LOL.

I have watched all the Firefly eps I haven't seen thanks to de23 loaning me her DVD set. Fox was stupid for cancelling this show!!! But, I really don't have any say so I suppose since I didn't watch it while it aired. Leftover fear from Earth 2 keeps me away from most new sci-fi series and then, it is too late. I am adding this line from Mal to my top quotes of all time.

"You got the right, same as anyone, to live and try to kill people." ROFL! Oh, but I had to rewind it and play it again! Wheeeeeeee.

I also watched the shortened version of Threads and it wasn't so bad although I have already sent my rebate stuff in to get the 90 minute version that aired on sci-fi. No commentary though. And, of course, that brings to mind another favorite quote.

Oma: "How deep is the river if you cannot see the bottom?"

Jim: "Deeper than the coffee in my cup, that's for sure." Oh, what fun!
