geeky day

Well better than rain or snow... Today was a geektastic day
youtube all the way
First, from the Star Trek Monty Python mash up to a slue of Star Trek videos made by fans and set to their choice of music. Entertaining and in some cases disturbing.
Then I finally got to see Wil perform some of his short stories. The William f***ing Shatner bit was great in person. Wil threw in a bunch of extra stuff by interrupting himself. And BTW... Shatner is an ass. I think Koloth's second put it best "Arrogant, swaggering tin-plated dictator with delusions of G'dhood." And for my money, though I love quoting Jabberwocky, I am more glad to have memorized the Klingon's lines than Carroll's. And if anyone has a vorpal blade and would like to go snicker snack on Shatner's back, I for one will turn a blind eye. Again... what an ass. And yes, had it been said to anyone other than Wil, I would still say he is an ass.
Then, I saw Nimoy and DeLancie perform a piece that I had heard on audio book... Spock v. Q, Spock wins. Who knew a Vulcan was the only thing in the Universe that could annoy the Q?
So that lead to an afternoon of drooling hysteria; The EMH performs "la donna il mobile" in his imagination and manages to ryhme with Hypospray, Data on Night Court, James Frain on Invasion; Tudors mash up in which we try to pretend that Moore and Cromwell aren't poser ass wipes; and then the highlight of the evening, even though Fancast was not cooperating with a smooth transmission.... Doctor Horrible's singalong Blog.
Hilarious.
Joss Whedon and family (Buffy/Angel fame) wrote and produced the little more than hour long program. Doogie Houser(because he'll always be Doogie to me) is a conflicted evil villain wannabe until his love interest is killed by a bumbling Barney Fife with pecks Superman dreams of having. This is terribly, horribly, funny with a dash of poignancy and trifling sentiment. Think live action Superfriends without Ted Knight narrating. The blog seems incidental until a few minutes after the screen goes black. And you realize [SPOILER ALERT!!!]
that it's just Doogie in his basement wondering what would happen if he used his super genius powers for evil.
Of course... that wasn't what Whedon was going for. But when the last shot of Dr. Horrible is him in his basement in front of the computer (Doogie's sign-off) dressed in regular clothes... what else am I going to think?
