This is the reason why we don't have any other friends.

...well, to top it all off, i NO SLEEP because of Jack and an upset stomach which is either stress (you remember bob), i'm getting sick, not sleeping and running around like a mad woman or a combination of all of them.

If there is ANYTHING I can do for you (up to and including coming over and holding Jack for a little while so you can grab some zzzzs) just say it and I’ll do it. I do understand the feeling even if I can’t fully empathize with the specific circumstances. I’m also going to think happy thoughts for you. If it makes you feel any better, "younger live in boyfriend" was still muttering about the “Pirate Geeks” remark at 10:30 last night. I really liked that one. Virtual high-five!

Yeah, did his bumper stickers multiply or something? Seriously. A 12 step program. And did I see one that was in Chinese...no doubt an homage to Firefly?

Yup. Yup. Yup. And Yup. What can I say? Geeks are very giving lovers so it’s not like I could just give him up over bumper stickers…

but what does the one in chinese say?

Oh ye gods… don’t make me do this.
It says: Blue Sun
Blue Sun is apparently a manufacturing company. You see the labels on a lot of shit. It’s kinda like the cross between Wal-Mart and “Coca~Cola” or “Nike” of the ‘verse. You see it less than halfway into the first episode (it’s on the “Cry-Baby” – that dummy beacon that Serenity tosses out to distract the Alliance while it makes it’s getaway) Okay and here I’m gonna geek all over myself: It’s also implied that the “baddies” are somehow connected to it… never out right mind you, but they apparently make “medical” equipment or software also. I can give you a listed of most of the inferred references to “Blue Sun,” but trust me you don’t want that.

Yeah, I noticed… but really it’s reached the point that it’s just cruel to point these things out. Just know that I do note them and keep track of how crazy you are going. There will be an intervention if I think you’re about to just go ape shit.
