Ditto with the decision on whether to get an iPhone or a Blackberry.
As someone who has both (one work, one personal), the iphone, without a doubt.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Deconstructing Dr. Horrible.
That's actually a really good analysis and even articulates quite a few things that were sort of half-congeled in my head. She has points I don't agree with (I think her issues with Firefly, for example, are unfair) but overall I think she's pretty spot-on.
ETA: She also has a bit about Captain Hammer in the comments that pretty much says exactly what I was thinking about him, but far more articulately. [link]

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

in Dr. Horrible?
I was seriously wondering when I watched it. I backed up and rewatched that part 3 times and still wasn't sure.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
le nubian,
I use my computer for email, serious internet surfing, lots of streaming video and downloaded video, and spreadsheet and database applications. Any suggestions would be welcome.
And thanks, PC, about the iPhone. That is the way I am leaning.

Only PC so far, but am not against mac on any sort of principle.

I loved Dr. Horrible, even though the ending surprised me a bit. I never realized how much I could love Neil Patrick Harris. So that was a revelation. But was no one else creeped out by the freeze ray? It reminded me a little too much of that one awful Angel episode that I've done my best to repress. With the freezing time in the middle of sex. Happy Anniversary? Something like that. The details are thankfully blurry in my recall. But I really didn't need the terrible association.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
since Buffy season 6 freeze ray has been a running joke for me and D. i.e. "we're with the freeze ray tour group" or "let's get the freeze ray out of here" so it only gives me the giggles. I must have slept through the creepy Angel episode.
I tried to get Mom to watch Dr. Horrible but she gave up after episode one saying they were talking more than singing and that it reminded her of Sondheim. I told her a lot of people are comparing it to Sondheim. So now I'm thinking I need to rent Into the Woods. Sadly, I'm most familiar with Sondheim through Musical of Musicals: The Musical.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Hey, Alibelle, I thought about Happy Anniversary too after reading Nilly's messages about how Billy's freeze ray is just about finding the right time to approach Penny. However, I don't hate the ep.
