The good: I have finished the first season of Pushing Daisies, and I liked it a lot. Olive kicks butt.

The bad: At about lunchtime today I came down with a fever and got all dizzy and had to call in sick to work. There is a strong likelihood that I will not be all better tomorrow, which might mean I'll have to miss work AGAIN, for the fourth day in two weeks. I wish this bug I have would just go away already.

The links: Hallmarks sells same-sex marriage cards!, not only is Mark Sheppard going to be in Dollhouse and The Middleman but also Christian Kane's new show.

New York Times further discusses Dr. Horrible, in a snobby sort of way.

I just feel like it's dismissive of fans. All the stuff about 'obedient and obsessive' people only watching Battlestar Galactica serials because we're not 'able to stand the hiatus'. Nothing about the serials expanding the universe, or that they're just fun to watch. By brushing aside the fans, the author is brushing aside what I think is part of the appeal of these web serials - the more direct contact between the creative minds and the people who are really interested in being entertained by them.

Also, 70's pop musical? Really?

ETA2: Awesome Supernatural s3 gag reel icons and Dr. Horrible icons.

Also, before I forget to review it AGAIN, yesterday I went to the movies with my sister and melissajane14 and we saw Tropic Thunder

I think the reason this movie is doing so well with critics, and why I thought it was really funny, was that it actually has a balance of a (silly, but followable) plot, lowest-common-denominator humour and clever humour. The story moves along at a good pace, the actors are (mostly) well-cast and funny, there's a good idea behind it. I felt it lagged a bit in the second act, but the finale's a ripper. As much as I love him, though, I hope Robert Downey Jr. never attempts an Australian accent again.

That doesn't sound good. I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

I completely forgot that new show with Christian Kane. I have the pilot somewhere on my computer, I just can't remember where. Or should I wait until the premiere? Mhh.

Christian Kane's new show is so badass. I'm ridiculously excited for it.

I AM NOW TOTALLY TORN BETWEEN YOUR DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK!JENSEN ICON AND MY DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK!JENSEN ICON.

I love them both but I wanted to have an animated one of that scene so bad. That's why I chose the one from speakfree. If your icon would have been animated (animated dean AND chipmunk) I would totally snag that one :D

Mark Sheppard! On The Middleman! Tonight! Woot!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Not for me, I will probably not see it until Wednesday, because I download it Tuesday night.

See, I actually like the simple DRAMA! text better than the actual 'dramatic chipmunk' thing, but the moment does look so much better animated.

I've heard and seen very little, which is surprising considering I'm on Christian Kane communities.

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

I won't see it tonight either. Probably not until after classes tomorrow. BUT I'M STILL EXCITED.

[dekolette.livejournal.com]

Somebody should make an animated icon of the scene with the text 'drama' and then we are both going to snag and use it :D
