I read the review of Dr. Horrible on Pajiba last night.  It had nothing but good things to say, of course.  In the comments section someone mentioned something I hadn't thought of before.  Whedonites are fans of Joss Whedon's work in general from Buffy on down.  And Browncoats are the FIrefly/Serenity groupies.  But what should Dr. Horrible fans be called?

I don't know if this has been brought up, but I was thinking about it the other day.
NPH plays a super-villain taking blogging to the next step by using video blogging as a platform to get attention and build infamy.

NPH also played Doogie Howser who, back in the day before the internet was in every household, would end every show typing a journal entry on his computer. Granted, it most likely was only stored locally, but this was the precursor to the modern blog.

Could it be the NPH invented the blog? (OK, that's a bit extreme)

 Just a couple of icons.. Three to be exact, they're nothing special though:

Some of the guys on the Planet are teasing me goodnaturedly about my way of calming people down.  It has escalated to the point of inserting me into The Dark Knight to be the "good cop" opposite Batman's "badcop"

 

I can take dreams with random bears invading the house. At least those are normal (for me). But dreaming Lucy is diagnosed with lymphoma? *snuggles her puppy*

I'll post some cute pictures of her and Cody eating parsley later. Yes, Lucy likes parsley. She stole a sprig from Cody while she was eating on my lap. It was very cute. Too bad Lucy doesn't have the teeth to eat it very well.

Okay, this feels slightly like throwing chum into the water while there's already a feeding frenzy going on. Certainly, there are people more worthy of getting this kind of umbrage than Joss Whedon, but I'm a firm believer that if there are rules, they have to be across the board. "He's Joss" isn't a defense or an excuse (for that matter, neither is "Padalecki and Ackles are hot," Supernatural fandom).

( Spoilers for pretty much everything Joss has ever done. Except for Firefly. Well, okay, Firefly too. )

July 23rd, 2008: I forgot to mention that yesterday, July 22nd, was Pi Approximation Day! Today is Approximately Pi Approximation Day, however, so today you can just sort of rub pie around your face with a much greater margin of error. Math holidays, cats and kittens!

I am a great business man if I mention I made a totally sweet shirt out of the Pi Approximation Day comic!

Wow, so a lot of people seemed to really like the charm I posted just yesterday. I got to work and started making a few more.

( Tiny goggles are so cute! )

While listening to Dr Horrible in my car last night I had a thought.  Forgive me if it's already been mentioned here and somehow managed to escape me.  I remember reading a quote from Joss saying he's had the idea for the freeze ray song for quite a while.  That, combined with the Johnny Snow/Jonathan comparison some have been making made me wonder...  Could he have originally conceived this song while he was writing Once More With Feeling?  Given that Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan were the primary antagonists in season six and the fact that they had a freeze ray as well, could Joss have toyed with the idea of including them in OMWF, thus giving birth to the song that would eventually become the opening number of Dr Horrible?

Again, if this has already been brought up, I apologize. 

Just watching it. And um ... Ohno driving a car just distracted me completely. He can't drive! So this image of him driving is just hilarious.

Ahem.

Yes.

Back to watching Maou.

( EDIT plus SPOILERS )


My sleeping pattern is out of whack. Going to make a sandwich and watch Attack on the Pin-Up Boys with Super Junior. At least their character names and real names are the same in this. Helps me remember who they are.

Pimp, pimp. Hey, if you want this to be like 90% of ficathons where slash is overrepresented and every other genre is like puppies in the rain who just need a home and some love? Well, those puppies never did anything for you, did they? Never did anything... but offer their unconditional love.

In case you can't penetrate my metaphor, I would like you to click on the link and claim a het prompt, or a gen prompt, or a femslash prompt. There's Emma/Felicia, who wouldn't want to write that?

would anyone have a clue as to what kind of goggles dr horrible is wearing?  or where i could find something similar?  i've tried searching for "safety goggles" or just "goggles" but i get more modern variations and nothing like what he's wearing.

thanks!

also, the lyrics that someone has posted? (thanks again!) - i added them to the song info in itunes (there's a lyrics tab) and now when i listen to the songs on my ipod, i can read the lyrics along with the song :)  that's helping me memorize the songs much faster - gotta be ready for those sing-a-longs we just *know* will be set up eventually!

Billy/Penny video I made at 3AM.

Keep in mind, I don't normally follow this stuff too extensively, but I know a couple of friends here who do ;)  This is a little something for them.

And my favourite one


Billy isn't the only one who has trouble talking to the girl of his dreams

the thing about bottling up is that sometimes the bottle gets full.
funny, it used to work pretty well.
i want to do things but i can't and i'm trying but i'm damning it anyway so why bother.

-

the dark knight is the best movie in the universe.
ultimate awesomeness.

Bought too many DVDs. :(

Must sell stuff.

I think I might sell some comic books and some magazines. I've decided that buying Japanese magazines are going to be a NO for me for a while. I don't care how good they look in it. There are always generous people who scan stuff.

EDIT: Went to see Mamma Mia! on Tuesday with miffi. Was so much love. Bought the soundtrack tonight and it's so fun!

Drive-by post from moi, as I am shortly off to see The Dark Knight at IMAX (having finally convinced their booking system to give up a seat).

Dr Horrible was kinda fun, yes? ( It made me realise something (spoilery) about my (very biased) taste in Joss-works. )

What else is news? I watched an anime so boring/mad that I started shipping one character with a duck. (Don't ask!) I downloaded Middleman but am hesitating to watch it because it seems like it's about to get canned (feel free to persuade me otherwise!).

And it's that time of year again... the Melbourne International Film Festival started yesterday. This year, I just got a mini-pass (10 flicks) so it won't be as manic as last year and my first session is not until the weekend. I teamed up with a friend to slice through the impenetrably long program and come up with some priority viewing material... it got easier to be decisive after a few glasses of wine, but the results could be ... interesting. I'll report back. :p

( random thing that made me LOL )

And finally, a shoutout/invitation to any BSG fans interested in running challenges during this here hiatus we're in. bsg_hiatusthon is yours for the co-opting!

I know why I talk about Smallville/Superman so much. It's because of Clois News! I was doing some link searching and found this and now I need to rant.

( Mark Millar is an idiot )

Just testing and learning. Hope you guys like it.

Remember that comments and credits are love.
