Oooh, aaah

I finally made it up to 2000 points (well, 2005 points, actually) on the Browncoats site and just cashed them in for an official Serenity bandana. It was either that or chopsticks. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it, but it amuses me.

How's That?

Can you explain more about the Browncoats site? I've been there once I think, but can't remember the details of the whole earning points thing.

If you go to the movie site (www.serenitymovie.com), click on 'Join The Browncoats' and it'll take you to the Browncoats site. You have to register before you can do much there. Once you do, you'll find a huge message board, a weekly poll and trivia question, and various challenges that you can earn points by doing. I don't know how long they're going to keep up the challenges now that the movie's out - the current ones end on Oct. 30 and there haven't been any new ones for a while. Which is why I cashed in my points and got the bandana - I figured I might as well get something while I could.

Hey - I finally saw the Star Trek episode with David Soul last weekend! I kept squinting at the other orange guy for the first 30 minutes and saying "I don't think that's him - he's too old", but he was quite recognisable when he finally came onscreen.

The Apple is so awesome because of the David Soul casting. This man was the downfall of his society because he thought "sex is good, we should do that." It's brillant!

I was hoping to have enough points to get the travel mug...still 855 points shy *le sigh* maybe 2 pairs of chopsticks? *wanders away to mull shopping spree*

Some of the items are the ones we got at SFX. I was tempted to hold out for 3000 points and get the trading cards, but they're out of stock and I don't know if they'll get more in or not. So bandana it was. I'm sure it's pink martini-appropriate head gear. :-)

I was still 60 points short this morning (they haven't processed all the challenge stuff yet - they still owe me at least 400), but discovered that you get five points every time you click on one of the blog links. So I clicked. And clicked. And... (you get the idea.)

When the store first got stocked I was at 2900 and wanted the cards, and they still hadn't added all my points. By the time they did, the cards were gone :-(

I have been at 4200 for awhile now and am holding out for a shirt, and am expecting over 1000 points, but who knows when they will post them. I hope there are shirts left when I finally get my points.

Yes, I would have liked one of the brown t-shirts, but I was a looong way from 8000 points. That'll have to wait for the sequel.

The List Mom of the Canadian Browncoats got the lithograph signed by Joss! That's 50,000 points. Egad.

You mean you're not going to *wear* it...? :-)

Well, I do occasionally twist bandanas up and use them to hold my hair back, but I look like a corpse in black. And seeing as there aren't any ambulatory corpses on this particular show... :-)

Wow! I'm impressed! It takes a long time to gather that many points on that board! Congrats. :D

I'm not really even sure how I did it. I submitted a bunch of icons, not that I'm very good at making them. Oh, and a picture of me with Adam Baldwin at SFX - that probably helped.

Icon! That's my favourite of your latest batch. :-)
