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.
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.
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.
Tamara,
come on over to the tech thread, and put in your wishes and your budget and you'll likely have a computer picked out by 5pm.
I'm thinking I need to rent Into the Woods
Yeah you do.
I had repressed that Angel episode until just now.
I too had forgotten about that episode. I had to look it up on wikipedia:

I hadn't forgotten Happy Anniversary, but I don't see the similarities. Billy never wanted to use the freeze ray on Penny, he wanted to use it on Capt. Hammer.
