Darn you, birthday boy!!! You got me addicted to Dr Horrible!

Hello, my name is KaeBoo and I am a borderline lolcatanimechadictus.

Alright, so my friend cbrain and I went to Ghostlightning’s birthday bash last Jan 18.   We passed by Robinson’s Galleria to pick up Hazy, Usagijen and Dean, usagijen’s friend.  Theory is, it would be better to get lost together than to be lost alone as none of us have actually been to the house.

On our way, we while looking for landmarks, we passed the first one by a bridge and a corner so we have to make a u-turn to get back on track.  The other land mark was located on the “other” right side of the road…  It was fun getting there… quite an adventure…  After several U-turns, we arrived the venue, just in time.

Some of ghostlighting’s friends were already there…  discussions started about different animes…  Seeing the figure collection that ghostlightning’s waifu has, plus his Mazinger Z collection…  it called for talks about mecha… of course, there’s macross… the guys were recommending you watch macross 7 with ghostlightning in order for you to appreciate it…  we should schedule that marathon one of these days.(what do you say???) Bianx showed her carricatures, they are just so cute!  She recently just published her neo-decultard take on things macross frontier.

After the Macross discussion, there’s the favorite gundam series.  Well, I really love the 08th MS Team among all gundam shows I have watched.  To quote the host, “08th MS team has a good balance of the story and the fight scenes”…  and with this, I agree.  Still, if I have to choose which battle suit I would want among all gundam movies and series, I would choose the Wing Zero Custom because of the fish-like characteristic of its wings in contrast to its avian appearance.

Pizza arrived then somebody asked…  have you guys watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog?  There were glances followed by an almost unison “no”.

Let’s just put it this way…  after watching the 45-minute movie of 3-fifteen minute episodes, it has automatically become the top on my pimp the show list.

I want that shiny!!!

The storyline is pretty shallow…  A typical mad scientis trying to get into the organization of evil-doers.  Dang, if you watch Kim Possible, you would even get to compare some of their cracks to the Disney cartoon.

As for characters:

Dr Horrible…  A very contradicting character.  A mad scientist who has been working so hard to be accepted into the Evil League of Evils, yet, he could hardly speak about the way he feels when he faces his laundry buddy, Penny.

Penny…  A humanitarian campaigning for homeless shelters in their community.  The girl that Dr. Horrible has been crushing on and became Capt. Hammer’s girl.

Capt. Hammer…  Dr. Horrible’s nemesis.  He is an egocentric super hero who sought for a shrink after he experienced what he thinks to be “pain”.

The songs are very catchy.  I have been singing bits and pieces ever since.  Brand New Day has become one of my instant favorites. Even more so, that now, after a week, the songs still linger in my head…  I have been wanting to wring someone’s neck.

It’s a brand new day

Yeah, the sun is high

All the angels sing

Because you’re gonna die

Go ahead and laugh

Yeah I’m a funny guy

Tell everyone goodbye…

It’s a brand new day!!!

This has been published late…  nonetheless, to the very gracious host and his waifu…  Thanks for having us there to share your celebration.
