Castle salutes Firefly

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Karen and I really enjoy Castle. And I did enjoy Firefly. So I thought it was great for this week’s Halloween episode of Castle (you can watch it here), when Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) started the episode by getting into his Halloween costume as Captain Mal (his Firefly role, for those who didn’t know). Then there was this dialogue (paraphrasing/remembering as bet as I can):

Alexis (his daughter): What are you?

Castle: I’m a space cowboy.

Alexis: There are no cowboys in space. Besides, didn’t you wear that, like, five years ago?

OK, it makes sense and is funny if you watched Firefly.

On being a Yankees fan living in Philadelphia

Simply put: it’s not easy. You now it’s bad when the trash talking starts on the local news filler portion of Good Morning America (yes, I’m talking about you Matt O’Donnell). Add in trash-talking co-workers; but it’s mostly from people who use lots of words without really saying anything. I was dreading the breakfast meeting at work this morning, but everyone left me alone. They were concerned with just talking about the game. The surprising thing was that everyone was talking about it, even those who didn’t seem like sports fans. Guess the Phillies bandwagon is full.
