It's hard. I know it's hard. How much easier would it be to take care of the stack of profoundly uninteresting papers on your desk? To buckle down, straighten up, and renounce the demon internet's hold on you? To spend an hour or two after work hanging pictures, getting that 5x5 cubicle set up just right — you know, for the long haul. It'd be lots easier. Of course it would.

But people are counting on you. Where else will they go to hear complaints about your lack of direction? To understand the precise reasons why The Simpsons isn't as good as it used to be? To read oblique condemnations of those who have disappointed you romantically?

Nowhere. Instead they would just waste that time on literature, or art, or their families. You can't let that happen. Frivolity is serious business. It's the blogger's cross to bear.

Well, Uncle Joss's Santa-like powers have alerted him to your plight. It was probably when you were bitching about it in the Red Room (you get kind of loud when you're drunk).

For one night only, he's offering you sweet succor: free Serenity tickets for bloggers. Washington's screening is at Gallery Place on Monday, 7:30 pm. We can grapple with our pain together, and in the presence of spaceships. Just like the Scientologists!
