Being torn in two directions

Okay, I've made my decision on this one, but. . .

Tonight is the first game of a three-game Sox/Yankees series, opening at Fenway Park, in which the Sox are one game behind the Yanks, first and second in the division, with the outcome of this three-game series deciding who is going to the playoffs.

It's also the opening night of Serenity.

Just sayin'. As it is, I'm going to the movie with a whole bunch of friends and family (and if anyone else wants to show up, Woburn Showcase cinemas, at the intersection of 38 and 128, 7:15 showing).

Crossovers

Lis just posted this to her blog, but. . .

So, yesterday, driving Lis home from work, she said,

"So, maybe I've been reading too much fanfic. But it occurred to me that what Simon REALLY needs is to figure out what's WRONG with River. So he really needs an expert diagnostician for a consult. . . "

I said, "AAAIGHH!"

"So you figured out where I'm going with this?"

"AAAAAAAIIIIGHH!"

Mind you, I'm not clear that Dr. House could come up with anything better than, "Someone chopped holes in her brain," which Simon already figured out. . . still, it's interesting to note that a crotchety, smug, arrogant, self-righteous, drug-addicted bastard would probably get along just fine with the crew, at least better than Simon does.

Then Lis commented that Kaylee has a lot of technical knowledge and skill, but what she really has is that spark of genius that lets her understand machines.

Then we looked at each other, and said, "Spark? Uh oh. But it explains much . . . " and started thinking about Agatha Heterodyne and Kaylee.
