lucky 13

Happy Friday the 13th!

i'm not superstitious. at all. are you?



i love Joss Whedon. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV show. not so much the movie) has been an obsession of mine since season 1. and i absolutely love Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!!! I highly recommend you click the link and watch it.


it'll change your life.



ok, maybe not. but still. it's funny!



despite these obsessions of mine, i'm not really a hardcore Whedon fan. i haven't made any attempt to watch Firefly or Serenity. i did, however, watch Dollhouse today. i'm not quite sure how i feel about it yet. the concept is intriguing. it has a lot of potential.

"In Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku plays a young woman called Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dorm/lab, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware."

good stuff. if you're into that nerdy, sci-fi stuff like i am :D


when it comes to my brand of comedy, Joss Whedon and Jhonen Vasquez are all i need. Whedon's witty, brilliant dialogue and alluring charaters, and Vasquez's dark humor and use of misanthropic themes bring such joy to me. no one can make the combination of cute and psychotic work quite as well as Mr. Vasquez does. or dark and funny like Whedon.

did i mention that i love Joss Whedon and Jhonen Vasquez?




i also like curly fries. a lot.
