I like music, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

 This is horrible

Damnit, only Joss Whedon could do what nobody else could: make me watch a superhero/villain comic-book-style show and like it.

Go check out Dr Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog. Get updates at the official fan site. (Free viewing only until the 21st.)

Nathan Fillion is hot. So is Neil Patrick Harris. Turns out Neil can sing, too. (Anything Joss Whedon does is an exception to my rule that musicals suck.)

If Joss puts James Marsters in this, I am so doomed.

Damn. It makes me want to get a t-shirt.

 My kick-ass alarm

My kick-ass, totally awesome new alarm clock (that Geoffrey got me for my birthday!!!) now plays the first minute-ish of Scotty Doesn’t Know.

YAY!!!

 Counting down

First, here’s the clock I want for my birthday!!! If it (or a love note announcing its eventual arrival) doesn’t magically appear on my nightstand by June 12th, I’m buying it for myself.

Next, the cutest little boy in the whole universe, my godson, took his first steps today! And his mom blogged about it! Everyone should go read it!

It may get rather quiet around home for the next few days, as I’m dropping Geoffrey at the airport on my way to work in the morning, and he won’t be back until very late Sunday night. Even if he weren’t going to his grandpa’s funeral, I wouldn’t envy him the trip, since he’ll be dealing with summer in St. Louis. Blech.

Now my demonspawn is demanding that I let her get back to uploading piccies on her MySpace. Mm-kay, whatever.

 Lost that online feeling

I’m still alive. More or less. Anyway, it’s been quite the month so far. Let me see what random crap I can update about…

The weather has been either rainy and stupidly chilly, or so warm that I sleep with the balcony door open and a fan blowing on my bed. Very weird weather of late. It’s as if Spring and Summer are arguing over whose turn it is.

And now for something completely TMI…

 More cards!

The next time I need to find something totally awesome online, I’ll just have my Number One Internet Fanboy look for it — again, he sent me a kick-ass e-card, from this hilarious site:

SomeEcards

I especially like this card. And this one. And definitely this one!

Their slogan is kick-ass, too: “for when you care enough to hit send” *snicker*

 Nifty stuff

My wonderful Number One Internet Fanboy sent me an e-card from the best e-card site EVER. There’s something in flavors of Deranged, So Not Okay, and Fraked-Up for everyone at WrongCards.

I’m done with the Dark Ages and moving promptly along through the Middle Ages in my Netflix queue. Then I’ll be watching every documentary on the British royal family that I haven’t seen yet (only 5 of them…no surprise, although I’m boycotting most of the Diana flicks as nothing more than pandering to the almighty dollar). And a few other topics upcoming in the queue are: abortion, eight of the American Experience series, profanity, “alternative” relationships (LGBT, polyamory, swinging), submarines, Nikola Tesla, wild animals, body art, religion & anti-religion, taboos in general, death, apocalyptic movies & documentaries, Mae West movies, the paranormal, a scattering of horror flicks, a TV series I never got to see all of (Earth 2) and a TV series I never got to see at all (Space: Above & Beyond). My interests are just a wee bit eclectic, you might say.

The pretty crochet jacket I’m about halfway done with will be too small for me, so I’m going to give it to Geoffrey’s sister, probably for Yule. I really like the pattern, though, and I have tons of the yarn left, so I’m hoping to make one for me, too — I just have to up-gauge the pattern, which isn’t hard once you have nearly 20 years of crocheting experience under your belt! With any luck, I’ll have it done by July.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, and Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife by Mary Roach, I’m looking forward to getting a copy of her newest book, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (although I think she should have stuck with the title starting with a 5-letter word, and called it “Boink”).

I’ve started planning the road trip that Lyse & I will be taking the week after my birthday in June …and somebody needs to email me back about the suggestions I made. Since the Oregon Vortex is the core attraction (and it IS highly nifty!), I’ve been looking for other fun places in southern Oregon to visit…and I’ve come to the conclusion that southern Oregon is mainly for people who like to hunt, fish, hike, kayak, spelunk, and otherwise exhaust themselves with outdoorsy activities. Not exactly Lil- and Lyse-friendly type stuff…but hopefully we’ll stumble across enough pioneer cemeteries and other off-beat spots to make up for it. So far it looks like RoadsideAmerica is a good site to look for strange tourist attractions…someday I will take the Stonehenges of America tour. *GRIN*

It’s kind of depressing, though, that I’ve already seen at least half the sites listed in the Oregon section of RoadsideAmerica. Then again, we do have a weird little state…and I still have most of the Washington sites yet to visit!

 I love cat yodeling

This is all Karel’s fault. He put it on his blog, and I spent six-and-a-half minutes trying not to frighten my cats with all the hysterical laughter. Definitely the most fun I’ve had in 6 minutes (with my clothes on, anyway!) so far this year.

 I’m not f**king anyone famous

A couple weeks ago, I didn’t even know who Sarah Silverman was. This, however, made me an instant fan:

I also didn’t know who Jimmy Kimmel was. (I still don’t, really, other than “he’s some guy on TV who apparently dates Sarah Silverman.”) But while Sarah’s video was hilarious — and made me laugh more than anything since seeing a picture of my ex who’d gotten fat — Jimmy’s rebuttal is utterly epic:

What put it over the top for me was Josh Groban. (For the sadly ignorant, he’s the cute guy at the piano with the utterly awesome voice. This guy could sing the phone book to me and I’d get wet.)

(And considering my last post, I thought I’d mention that watching these videos, and blogging about it, was the only thing I did online today. Bye now!)

 Just one question

This is for my honor roll student, Anxiety:

And just one other thing…

Did you lose the game? *evil grin*

 Cupid sucks

Today I did not get any of the cool things on my Valentine’s list. I did get a lovely card and a huge slice of plain cheesecake (the way it’s supposed to be!) from Geoffrey. I almost missed the card, as I am a zombie in the morning; my routine begins thusly:

And now for something completely TMI…
