leinhos's Journal: My Cool Wife

Well, the holidays are done, and it's time to get back to work.

I have to say, though, that the one gift that stood out over the holidays was from my wife, who got me a copy of the FireFly DVD. The real gift wasn't the physical DVDs themselves, but the fact that she sat and watched every episode with me (after our kids were asleep). This is my wife who refuses to even touch anything Linux, and poo-poos most sci-fi (cinema + print). She had an interesting observation on the apeal that FireFly has with Geeks. The Space Cowboy-Pirate-Smuggler story has a geek (Wash, the pilot) with a totally hot, warrior wife. My wife (who is totally hot), thinks that without that part of FireFly, the Geek-Factor would be substantially lower. Hmmm.
