It’s that time of year when we endanger the entire house by putting more dubious electrical lighting in yet more dangerous places. So, we now have a bunch of light-up birdies on the front porch, and our traditional beautiful tree. Luckily we also have a GFPC on the circuit.

Other than that, I spent the day watching films that added more fuel to my internal fire: Collapse and The Corporation. The first of the two is something that I’d recommend every left-leaning USA resident watches: it’s essentially one guy talking about oil, economics and the planet. I can’t say any more – just watch it.

Also a couple of episodes of Firefly; one was genuinely brilliant, one was mediocre. The only thing I can say with conviction about that series is that I genuinely wish someone would just throw “River” out into space.
