Going Japanese, I think I'm going Japanese, I really think so
It's possible that there may exist just a tiny bit of sci(hypen)fi out there that I like. But don't tell my husband. (By the way, as a protest to my dying keyboard, I'm spelling the missing keys in parenthesis. Or dropping them completely. I realize this makes the protest nonsensical because my keyboard feels nothing and readers suffer, but I have to register my complaint in some form or fashion.)
Back to sci(hyphen)fi. My husband loves it. He likes Star Trek in all its carnations, Battlestar Gallactica (although I don't think he watches this one as much anymore), the one with McGuiver (now saving the world through hypertechnology rather than gum). And I've found that (oy, can I say it?), sometimes I might possibly tolerate Star Trek: Enterprise. Not the others at all, mind you. But Enterprise. Interesting plots, and I like the characters. I first got into scifi through a show called Eureka on the SciFi channel. I like it because the characters are quirky, and you've got a non(hyphen)genius as the sheriff who is just as confused as I am throughout the show. (By the way, new episodes coming in July.)
A couple of the Misfits are scifi/horror. Now horror would be too much because I suffer from nightmares as it is (last night's thanks to Ang (hypen) she'll know what I'm talking about). And I like what these Misfits write. And I remember liking Brave New World and the like in high school.
Here's what I'm discovering: scifi's are stories. Many components use futuristic or such aspects, but they're still stories. I don't like them if they completely depend on hightech future stuff. But stories are stories, and I always love stories. Heck, one of the novels I want to write someday may even be construed as scifi.
Luke, I am your father. But don't tell anyone.

May the schwartze be with you. I'm a big Sci-fi fan (sci-fantasy actually). About the keyboard, unless you've got an Apple, you can fix it by getting a new one for under 20 bucks.
Hey Heather, that last comment was me, I'm not sure how that happened!
Thanks, now that song is in my head.
I watched Star Wars, Episode I last night... and my husband wasn't even HOME!!!
(star gate... and mcgyver isn't on it anymore. TSK!) I enjoy most sci-fi except the horror genre.... like Alien, etc. Will not watch those.
Haven't found much on Sci-Fi channel when I 'm able to watch TV
Now I'm going to be singing that hyper song all day long. . . .!
Your welcome, guys, re: the song ;)
And, yeah, I think I always liked fantasy: Madeliene L'Engle, Narnia series, Lord of the Rings, that sort of thing. And, of course, I grew up on Star Wars (although I'm thoroughly disappointed in all the newer ones), so maybe I shouldn't be as surprised as I am.
Thanks for the advice, Peter. Hopefully that will work, or I may go crazy.
Skip the hypen and use SF. Or, if you're feeling elitist, the derogatory "skiffy." :)
Mir
The plan is working.
Bwhahahahahahaha.....
Mir, SF would be easier, admittedly, but then I wouldn't have been able to complain about my hyphen (or lack thereof).
Yes, Mich, I do think it's all a conspiracy.
