The video is *dead already. Serene Branson, though, is apparently fine. According to this report, she did not suffer a stroke, and was never taken to a hospital. She was examined by paramedics at the scene.

If I had to guess, I'd say she had a TIA - transient ischemic attack. It's like a stroke, but does not cause any permanent damage.

Update: She was taken to hospital after this, and we may have witnessed her having a stroke live on air.

Based on this I wouldn't exactly put it in Comedy.

Doubt it. It was dropped right on its propellers.>> ^Zyrxil:
Hey, the boat ended up being fine



Technically the boat's in the water, get a rowing team on board and soon you'll be enjoying all the comfort of the boating lifestyle without the sound of an engine to interrupt the serenity.

Cheers!

Modern day book by its cover?

It's my firm belief that the horrible theme-song killed the show. I specifically recall a case of flipping over it quickly because the song was so bad... I just couldn't stand it.
I admit, her performance is 10x better than the original.

I was looking for a replacement embed when I stumbled across this one.

the "powerlessness" over one's addiction in AA does not presume one's powerlessness in one's life in general. Rather, just the opposite: one recognizes one's powerlessness over addiction in order to gain the control and power over one's life that had created the addiction in the first place. Heck, the entire serenity prayer is about seeking acceptance of the things one cannot change, the courage to change the things one can, and the wisdom to know the difference... If only more people -- addicts or not -- could say such things and mean it.

(Edit: I know this because I'm a therapist who works with many folks who struggle with chemical dependency and addiction -- and not all of them are to illegal substances. Some addictions -- such as with shopping, or working, or pornography, or sex in general -- are generally accepted if not downright condoned... which adds an entirely new wrinkle to what is already a complex issue.)

I wish he wouldn't "hope" as much as he would actively "look" for a job. But that's probably a side effect of the 12 steps of AA indoctrination, if he's actually in that program, which teaches they're powerless over their addiction and that only a "higher power" can help them overcome it.
Yes I know I just assumed a lot about this man.

#cinema and #1sttube ought to be mutually exclusive, it seems to me, but I'll leave them for now.

I like to be a part of the soluuution not the probleeeeem...

but ye, living a balanced life with what you've got is as I see it a vital part in finding true serenity and happiness

Your video, Serenity Now - Seinfeld Action Thriller, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Turns out it's her interpretation of an Icelandic poem. Here is the english translation.

Bjork - Vigil

My farm
my farm and yours
sleeps happily at peace
falls snow
silent at dusk on earth
my grass
my grass and yours
keeps the earth til spring

Nesting spring
hid at the hill's root
awake as are we
faith in life
quiet cold spring
eye of the depths
into the firmament
staring still in the night

Far away
wakes the great world
mad with grim enchantment
disquieted
fearful of night and day
your eyes
fearless and serene
smile bright at me

My hope
your blest smile
rouses verse from sleep
the earths rests
silent in arms of snow
lily white
closes her blue eyes
my little girl

"My excuse: River has been hanging out with deer for a long time... this was a first, because of the newborn, and it went haywire in a hurry."

Tut tut. Afraid that's no excuse. Your dog shouldn't be making friends with the local fauna in the first place and you shouldn't have been encouraging it! If it had a healthy fear of large wild animals (and if the large wild animals also had a healthy fear of you) then it wouldn't have been curbstomped by a pissed off mother deer in the first place.

We can enjoy the serenity of nature best when we DO NOT INTERFERE with it. The deer and it's instinctual reaction to the parody of an apex predator that is your dog, is ultimately rooted in human interference with the natural order of things.

I watched serenity before watching firefly, then watched it again after. Great scifi movie turns into huge metaphor for a show being cancelled. Would love to see more firefly...

>> ^Throbbin:

I liked Serenity, and I've never seen Firefly. I'm crazy like that.


Dude! Watch fucking Firely -- it's only 14 episodes but you end up powering through them all because it's that good.
