LiveLeak.com - Female reporter hit by zorb ball

The balance of the universe is upset by reporters who attempt to act EXTREME. Thankfully, order is restored.

Entertainment Weekly’s writeup about the making of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (which, by the way, is worth picking up on iTunes if you missed it) is a really interesting read. It covers everything from the initial pitch to the actors all the way to the extras they want to pack into the DVD release, including panther noises:

We’re not sure that we can accomplish it, but we want to have languages: French, Spanish, Japanese translated back very badly into English, classical Latin, and panther noises. –Joss Whedon

In the spirit of the dramatic prairie dog I give you… the dramatic cat!

Every time I watch this it gets funnier.

Joss Whedon came up with an idea for a musical during the writer’s strike. This site has a trailer for it. If it’s anything like the rest of his work, it will be full of win and awesome. It’s going to stream for free on the Internet first, up until the 20th, and then will hit DVD. The official site is here.

A little something to get you energized for the weekend. ;)

When Texas senator Kirk Watson appeared on MSNBC a while back endorsing Barack Obama, he couldn’t name one Obama legislative accomplishment, instead emphasizing how “inspiring” the man was.

Another inspirational song I thought I’d share with folks.

This is way cooler than normal juggling.

I just heard this song last night at church — maybe it’s just the point I’m at in life right now, but I found it incredibly moving, so I thought I’d share.
