I go to read my regular morning blogs, including Whedonesque, when I run across this:

Clinton McClung talks Dr. Horrible and Buffy Sing-alongs.

Here’s the article referenced.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes…YES!!!

Gotta love the Onion.

Almost better than Buffy’s grave. Via E.W.

Fred Thompson – The Judge
His backers got all excited and made a big effort to assemble him. When they finally put him together, he turned out to be a lethargic mess and didn’t accomplish very much.

Rudy Giuliani – Angelus
A genuine threat to destroy the world, with a string of broken hearts behind him.

…and many more…

I haven’t accomplished nearly as many of these as I’d like, but at least I created number 27!

A few other choice favorites:

45. See all of Shakespeares’ histories performed. Yes, even the crap ones. (Helloooooo, King John!)

29. Watch the sunset from inside the “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” dinosaur.

21. Kill a zombie.
14. Understand a Tom Stoppard play on the first viewing.

11. Memorize enough digits of pi to be impressive but not weird.

6. Correct Alex Trebek on the pronunciation of something French. Consequently hold him when he cries.

1. Live to see the day when smart and witty wins out over hot and shallow every single day of the week.

PS – Let’s also add “Visit the Museum of Menstruation” to this list – which I know that at least three Culture Geeks have done.

I’m not sure how many of you actually end up watching TV, but for the few of you who do, I’m curious… Are there any new shows you folk are watching?

With the new baby in the house, and the way that we’re choosing to let each other have uninterrupted blocks of sleep (I get 8pm until 3am, Sara gets the rest of the evening), we’ve actually had a remarkable amount of time to watch new shows. I basically went off of the critical reviews. So, we started the season watching Reaper, Life, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl, Dirty Sexy Money and The Bionic Woman. So, it’s been…what…about a month or a little more since shows started. (more…)
