2.0 Supanova

I have to admit, there I was, chewing my fingers off, stuffing the second tape of Lexx that I’d ever bought into the VCR. I was gratified to be viewing what I thought would be the movie that explained all of KAi to me… I figured it’d be a dark and dreary tale! First, Gigerotta’s fantasy?!
I sat up on my couch and blushed. Thank god hubbie’s not home, I thought!
Figures, tho’ – hubbie walks in two seconds later and sits down at his computer desk.
“What’s that, another Lexx tape?” He almost sounded interested.
On comes the fantasy dance. Hubbie gets up and says “WHAT is THAT?!” He looks disgusted. “Auugggghhh!!!” he cries as he runs from the TV set.
I didn’t even care. I stared, glued to the screen. For 5 seconds I was embarrassed. Then I realized, this was gratitude! The Beans were giving me something! Something I could giggle over, dream about, smile at. I did smile, although still burning in embarrassment. Whatever. If I enjoyed it, it’s because I’m a musician, and a musical interlude in the middle of a scifi show really flips my switches. I live in a musical… always dreaming that one day an unseen orchestra will strike up the right tune, and I’ll go singing and dancing happily into the sunset.
