Because I Am Me

Many time I have professed my love for all things Joss Whedon and so I didn't want to slack off in my duties. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog is fantastic.
There is nothing I like more than a good musical, unless it is a superhero musical written by Joss Whedon and starring Nathan Fillion AND Neil Patrick Harris. It was like someone came in and said, "How can we make Woodlandmama really, really happy?"

Well, thanks Joss you did it!

Also, if you think my love of Joss and Nathan Fillion is making me biased, Mr. Hobbitfeet and Boy really love it too. So check it out!

I Do Know that I Am A Geek

Everybody kept telling me I had to watch the new Battlestar Galactica. That I would love it. At first I didn't because I didn't have the Scifi Channel. After we got it, I didn't watch it because I believe that I watch too much damn t.v. But then I Netflixed it and loved it.
Now I am pathetically addicted and am fervently trying to watch all three seasons before the new season starts a week from Saturday. Whew that's A LOT of TV!
I also found out that Joss Whedon is going to have a new show next Fall. I've been whining about getting Joss back to TV since Buffy ended in 2003.
Also, I am bidding on a Christmas decoration from my childhood on Ebay. I have bid on things on Ebay in the past but there has never been anything that I haven't thought, "oh well," if I don't get it. Often I forget that I bid on anything until I get an email. This time, however, I am obsessing about it. I keep checking to see if I am still the top bidder, and my top bid is insane, Mr. Hobbitfeet would kill me if it got up that high. Luckily, it's relatively low, and if I can just get through the next couple of hours, I'll own it for my very own. I want it bad.

One more thing, instead of letting him watch TV, I made Boy practice his clarinet. Now he's torturing me with the worst noises ever. I think he's deliberately squeaking because he normally doesn't do that.

More Wonder Woman News

Joel Silver, in his continuing effort to piss me off, has put the Wonder Woman movie on hold indefinitely. His reasoning is that Wonder Woman should make her big screen debut in a Justice League movie. I believe that losing Joss Whedon from the project made it suck ass and he can't admit that he was wrong. I want my Wonder Woman. I want her to have her own damn movie. Listen, the Supergirl movie was awful. Helen Slater was completely unbelievable as Clark Kent's cousin. The Elektra movie didn't even make sense, hello, Elektra died in Daredevil, and I do not believe some Mr. Miyagi hand-warming technique is going to change that. We need a real superhero, we need Wonder Woman.


I also need to say that I helped out with Girl's preschool Halloween party, which, by the way, reaffirmed my belief that I did not miss my calling by choosing not to go in early childhood education. But Girl's boyfriend came as Batman, which was so freaking perfect! It was like the following video (sorry about the Celine Dion).

Wow!

I had this really fantastic post, about how I was busy working my now (temporarily, but maybe permanently) full-time job, my part-time job and a side project, and Mr. Hobbitfeet was busy with school and work. That we were both busy with the kids, especially getting Boy ready to test for his black belt (which he's doing on the 31st). Unfortunately, Blogger ate it, and I don't want to re-write it. So you are out of luck.
However, I will redo the pictures. The first time I explained that I was giving you more pictures than usual because I was so far behind.

My mom came and visited on Wednesday. If you look close you can see that I lent her my copy of Firefly. My mom loves cowboys and space, so I felt that she couldn't miss the show that combines the two.

Mr. H. never wears shoes.

Lots of baby leaves-

even on my cherry tree!

The baby lilac tree is coming alive!

Some random flowers!

And my favorite:

The buds on the dogwood trees are opening.

You Know Me...

You know I love Wonder Woman; you know I love Joss Whedon. So you know that I am just plain heartbroken that he is no longer directing the movie. It would have been fan-freaking-tastic.

"Holy Mother of God and All Her Wacky Nephews"

So my daughter has been sick, and I haven't really ventured out of my house except to go to work since we came home the day after Christmas. So what have I been doing (I mean besides nebulizing my daughter and posting old commercials of Wonder Woman)? I have been going to my utmost Whedork extremes.
Why is that? Well I parlayed my Christmas gift cards and cash and invested in the entire Firefly 'verse. The series, movie, and any day now the (comic) book that bridges the gap between the two (zooming it's way to me from Amazon). I even got around to watching the River Tam Sessions, so you know I am hardcore.
Not only that but I listened to all the commentaries and have been boring my Whedork of a husband with all I know. Now you know I'm a geek when I can out geek the geekiest geek that ever geeked.

In Which I Got Some Sleep...

Well all my worrying was for not. I guess I can officially say I am a grown up because I got through the night without Mr. Hobbitfeet and didn't have a total wussy meltdown. It was touch and go there for awhile though, during Lost I got a bit scared and closed and locked every window and pulled all the curtains. Even that wasn't enough because of our large patio doors that don't have any covering. I actually did get scared once by the meter reader who looked in through those doors, and truth be told that is what I am the most afraid of. Looking up and seeing someone watching me through the windows/doors/etc.
I think most of it was due to a traumatic stalker experience while growing up. There were times when I was young when I would be sleeping or doing a number of things and bam! There would be someone looking in at me (though I wasn't the one being stalked). It is an odd sensation and one I am not itching to repeat. Hence the general fear of uncovered windows at night.
Also, many scary things involve looking up to find someone watching you. Think of all the scary babysitting stories you've ever heard. Then in Hush (a Buffy Episode) Olivia looks out the window and there's one of the Gentleman looking in at her.
Anyhow when the freakout got too much for me I went to my room where I could watch the rest of Lost and be hidden behind my blinds and not look out into my woods waiting for the Gentlemen to peek at me. Then at bedtime I took some Tylenol PM and slept great. The difficulty was that Mr. H. normally wakes me up. I didn't think it would be a problem because most of the time I am awake before he comes in, so I didn't set my alarm. Unfortunately, I think all the noise he makes in the morning is what wakes me, because I overslept this morning. So thanks to all of those who were worried for me and called. I made it through the night.

P.S. Did you watch Lost. I am getting to the point where I am going to hurl my damn T.V. through the window. If they find any more hatches on that stupid island. . . .Well I don't know what I'll do. I hate the show, but I need to know what's going on, so I can't stop watching it which makes me even more irritated. Here it is May, you know the season finale is coming up any day now and they still haven't addressed cliff hangers from last year's season finale. ARRRRHHH!

Not Lovin' the Love Monkey

I watched Love Monkey tonight for the first time and I don't care for it. I like Tom Cavanagh but there are others in the cast I could do without and I think the premise is lame. Though I must say (as you can see by the time stamp) I am not giving it much of a chance.

Since Buffy went off the air, I have had no show to call my own. Meander will tell me that Veronica Mars is the show that will replace Buffy, but sorry Meander it doesn't even touch the writing on Buffy. There are shows that I don't mind but nothing that inspires the "can't do anything on Tuesday night at 7" the way that Buffy did.

Maybe the Wonder Woman Movie will save me.
