According to Ratified, I am today’s winner for the biggest jump in the Ratified ratings moving up 51 places from 136 to 85. I am not entirely sure what this means, if anything, but still it was nice to see my blog at number one for something. It has given my Monday morning a nice happy glow.

Did you love the musical episode of Buffy? Do you love comic book heroes and supervillians? Do you love everything that Joss Whedon has ever done? (or is that just me?) If so, you are going to love the new webseries “Dr Horrible’s Sing A Long Blog“.
Staring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, this all-singing, all-dancing musical spectacular is the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. During the Writer’s Strike, sick of sitting around doing nothing and obviously bored by daytime TV, Joss Whedon called in quite a few favours and got working on this musical mini-series. Whilst it was not completed before the strike ended, Joss didn’t just shelve the idea, he actually made Fox give him time off from working on his latest project, “The Dollhouse” so he could film it. The fact that they gave him the go ahead really proves how much clout Joss has in the industry and rightly so. I have always stated that Joss Whedon is the god of TV writing.
According to Matt Roush from the Roush Dispatch, who has been lucky enough to see all three parts, Joss Whedon does not disappoint. Matt describes it as “the funniest, freshest TV special of the summer, which happens to be available only on your computer starting in mid-July.”
To get you even more excited about it (if that is actually possible), here is the trailer:
Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is screening in three parts;
Part One goes live on 15th July
Part Two goes live on 17th July
Part Three goes live on 19th July
All three parts will stay online until 20th July after which point it will be downloadable as one 45 minute episode for subscription fee, most probably via iTunes. There is also a DVD in the works that will contains a musical commentary. Wheedon describes it as “commentary with an exclamation point’! A musical commentary that is a completely original musical, that is all commentary songs, and we’re writing that now.”
Also, not content with just producing a webseries, Whedon has tapped into the social networking world and given Dr Horrible its own Twitter account, Facebook and My Space pages and You Tube account. Plus there is now a Captain Hammer comic. Now that is what I call harnessing the power of social networking to market your product.

As the price of petrol goes up, is the price of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) also increasing?
Seriously, I want to know the answer to this. Is Vaseline now more expensive than it was at the beginning of the year? Are there any regular buyers of Vaseline who can answer this for me?

If you could have any job in the world, regardless of whether you had the skill needed to do that job, what would you do?
I want to be on Dr House’s medical team. I love trying to pick the disease that fits all the symptoms. I actually play along at home when I watch the show. Unexplained pain, fever, rash and double vision - is it Lyme’s Disease, an allergic reaction, anthrax or might it be lupus? But of course, it is never lupus. It was one of the things I loved about vet nursing. Animal comes in with all these symptoms and we would get to say what we think was wrong with it and then run tests to prove or disprove our theories. Of course, I couldn’t stand to work with someone like House, but that still doesn’t stop me wanting to be on his team.
If I couldn’t be on House’s team then I would want to do what all bloggers want to do - make a living from blogging. I would love to spend my day playing around with social media and blogging and be able to earn a decent income. That would be a good job.

I have done a little maintenance around the place today. There is now a centralised collection of my most popular posts and posts that I like located on The Sneeze Page. I have also revamped my About page to include some more information and a photo of myself. Please take a look around and tell me what you think.
