I have been a fan of Joss Whedon’s for a really long time. My friend Shane got me into Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the beginning of the second season, and I never really looked back. When he spawned off Angel, I added it to my list of must see TV and when he started Firefly, I was really excited about the fresh start he was making with the show.

Joss’s writing has always had an indefinable something for me that always kept me coming back for more. He can take some serious issues, and tackle them in a way that brings out the humor and yet still stays poignant. His dialogue is always witty, and he has a way of giving his characters a voice or style of speaking that is instantly recognizable. Every character interacts with everyone else as a person, not a plot device, yet they still fulfill the same purpose in the end. I know that Joss must spend much of his time working on his projects, but some how they come off so brilliantly tongue in cheek that they seem to spring fully formed from his mind.

It saddens me that I don’t get my dose of Joss every week now. Firefly was cancelled, and Buffy and Angel both drew to a close, so I feel like there is a hole in my life, and it is Joss shaped. I can only hope that Serenity does well enough to warrant some more movies, and that Joss can continue to work his magic. He is working on the screen play for Wonder Woman, so gives me good hopes for the film, and he also works on a number of comic books, which causes the little geek in me to squeal like a little girl. I haven’t done comics in ages, but I would go back for Joss.

Finally the whole reason for this little Joss tribute has to do with an article written by Orson Scott Card about Serenity. I have read numerous books by Orson, chief among them the Ender’s Game and the Seventh Son books. His character development is some of the best I have seen, and for him to give props to Joss in this way really raises my opinion of both of them.

It is Serenity Day!

Everyone, make sure you check this movie out. Do it for the kids

How rare the rain here is in Southern California. A storm has been threatening all night, lightening cutting through the air, and the sound of thunder echoing through the night.

Such thunder storms are not common here, and they bring back memories of my years in Nashville. I miss the storms, for the first time in all my life I felt something akin to fear when the thunder started rolling this evening. I wouldn’t exactly call it fear, but I was in awe of the wonders of nature. I could certainly understand how many people could fear a thunderstorm, or why dogs hide under the bed as lightening cracks across the sky. Back in Nashville it was a common occurrence, but either I have been so long without it, or there was a something different that was present in the storm tonight.

Either way it seemed to be more primal, even if the storm didn’t last that long. It called to mind images and reminded me of days gone by. Good days, fun days, days that I am more than happy to lose myself in.

I need to call my parents……

So why chose the name HalcyonRepose.com?

As is always the case with the internet, my first few choices were already taken. I have long been enamoured with the word halcyon, so I knew my goal from the beginning was to find an available URL that would accomidate my word passion (my other word of choice being ornery, but that doesn’t have the same website possibilities). My first choice was HalcyonDreams.com, and of course that was already taken. Back to the drawing board it was. I did some brain storming lists, but I kept coming back to halcyon. I was doing some research into the word for some ideas, and in the process I found a quotion from Thomas De Quincy that was simply “Deep, halcyon repose”. It immediately struck me as ‘right’ (as all important decisions should) and now here we are.

Where we go from here, we will have to see.

Is this a blog? Well technically yes.

Will it be my online journal? Yes and no. In my efforts to improve myself, one of my perceived defficencies is my lack of ability to communicate. I feel I have made great strides in this over the years, but this is another step down that road. Every time I bear my soul, so to speak, it gets a little easier. In fact just the act of organizing my thoughts into a form I can portray, seems to make the entire process more automatic.

Of course in addition to the above, this will also be a place to put all those digital items that I feel others need access to.
