Halloween, or How I haven't decided what I should be this year...

"In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl [ed. note: Gay Guy] can dress like a total slut and no other girls [ed. note: Gay Guys] can say anything about it. The hard-core girls [ed. note: Gay Guys] just wear lingerie [ed. note: briefs/thongs] and some form of animal ears [ed. note: hat (I'm a cop! See my hat? I'm a firefighter! See my hat? Or my fave: I'm an angel! See my wings?)" - Mean Girls teaches you everything you needed to know about Teen Meanies, that is to say: Gay Guys of all ages.

So with that in mind, I'm torn as to what to be this Halloween. Angels (tighty-whiteys and wings!), "Lifeguard" (swimwear and a towel!) and other equally as objectifying costumes are not for me: I tend to be fun or concept-driven. I'm tossing ideas in my head still:

Dr Horrible?
It'd be fun, even if it'd take some effort... maybe I could get away with being one of his groupies with a Dr Horrible shirt.

Peter Pan?
It's gay, it's fun, it's skimpy and it's animated! It's mB in a nutshell! It'd also be a good way to "feel young" after the b-day from last week...


Ned, the Piemaker?
Not only would I be Lee Pace for Halloween but I'd have a great ice-breaker, mainly: do you know who I am? And if the answer is "No" I can easily walk away and not feel bad about it.
Or I could be a meta-costume "Look, I'm a slutty gay guy in a costume!" or "I'm a hipster!" 
We'll see...

Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, or How... random thoughts on NPH et al

Have you watched/sang along to it yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Acts 1 and 2 are up. Just go to DrHorrible.com.
Random thoughts on DHSAB:

- All NPH needs is a camera and Joss's dialogue to make me start giggling like a schoolgirl.

- How awesome is the fact that Bad Horse's letters and calls are sung by a trio of cowboys?

- Where do I get this iPhone app?

- Oh Nathan! You do play the goofy hero who's self-involved very well!
- Ogres might be like onions cause they have layers (and not parfaits like Donkey would have wanted) but apparently Captain Hammer is a pie: underneath the first layer, there's a different layer, but underneath that, it's the initial first layer. Am I not making sense? You clearly haven't been watching then!
- And yes, the hammer is his penis.
Next:
Will our devilishly handsome villain get the girl? Will the girl dump the do-good-er? Will the Captain get hammered out of the picture?
Tune in tomorrow for the conclusion of Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, or How I'm Seeing Double

You've heard about it. You've seen the teaser (here). But to create more hype about his upcoming webisode/musical... thing, Joss Whedon has unveiled a prequel comic of sorts via Dark Horse Present over at myspace (while you're at it, check the new Gerard Way/Gabriel Ba Umbrella Academy comic!). Titled Captain Hammer - Be Like Me! - Nemesis of Dr Horrible, the comic follows Captain Hammer as he teaches you how to help him save the world, snitching on your soon-to-be-villain friends and such.

Check out the Zack Whedon-penned and Eric Canete-drawn comic to see how Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion look like in comics!


So, sure, NPH is a bit less geeky looking than his comic-counterpart, and Nathan's not quite as Man of Steel-esque as his graphic doppelganger, but you can see the resemblance, right?
