Dr. Horrible and wii fit
First things first: Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog is great. It launched today and you’ve got a few days to try it free before it goes pay-only. Unfortunately, everybody else wants to see it RIGHT NOW too, so as reported today in the L.A. Times, the site went down faster than an original show on FOX. Rather than wait, I spent $4 for a season pass on iTunes. That’s a buck an episode, and it’s definitely worth it. C’mon, Neil Patrick Harris as a low-rent supervillain, Felicia Day as the girl at his laundromat he’s too shy to talk to and Nathan Fillion as his nemesis? And they sing? What’s not to love?
Look, just watch it. You can thank me later.
Next! I know what you’re wondering. “Tvini, how could you keep us waiting more than 24 hours for another scintillating report on the wii fit? I got a blister on my index finger from clicking ‘refresh’!”
Worry no more, fair readers. Our long national nightmare is over.
Yesterday morning, my mom stopped by while I was working out. We looked at the various options and she tried some along with me, albeit not on the board, since that would be a little crowded. One that we looked at was the plank. Or as I call it, since I shake like crazy, “the prone DTs.” It was my first time doing it on the wii fit, although I’ve done it before on my own, so I opted for the lowest amount of time one could do it for, 30 seconds. My mom cut out halfway through, since she just wanted to see how the wii fit handled these things.
At right is my husband’s trainer, since I couldn’t very well take pictures of Casey doing it while I was also doing the exercise. Please note that his trainer gives him a hard time too. Casey was with me through the my whole routine, though, curse her leathery hide. My mother was also with me.
Casey said things like, “You’re doing great.” And “Are you dropping your hips?” And “You’re almost done.”
My mother said things like, “YEAH!!! YOU’RE DOING GREAT!!!” And, “GO GO GO! YOU’RE DOING SO FANTASTIC!!” And “WOW, YOU’RE ALMOST DONE! KEEP IT UP!!!” I tell you, I felt like a million bucks when I was done.
I think the fine people at Nintendo should fire Casey and get my mom into the studio to record their next trainer. We’d be a nation with abs of steel. I wonder what my my mom would charge for personal training. Hmmm…
I can subscribe on iTunes? How did I miss that detail? I ‘m all over it. On Friday, I shall spring the $4 for the season pass. Awesome.

Yea, I came home this evening and David promptly informed me that I needed to watch Dr. Horrible immediately. He was very funny about it 😉

The Joss Whedon panel with the cast of Dr. Horrible is one of the things I’m most excited about for Comic-Con. Also the big screen showing, if my ass can stay up til midnight.

Dr. Horrible sounds like a perfectly acceptable splurge. I’ll need to check it out come payday.
Thanks for the Wii Fit update. Though my sleepy eyes read the caption wrong, and wondered if you resented being told by a computer to tighten your ass.

Indeed! Question: I read that Felicia Day was on Buffy. Was she one of the potentials in S7?

Yep! She played a very meek girl named Vi, until the very last episode when she got her powers and turned on the badassery.

I’m so sad this isn’t in the Australian iTunes store. Hell, we only got TV show downloads… A week ago? GIVE ME DOCTOR HORRIBLE, APPLE.
