I live in a bubble. I can see out, and occasionally I can sneak out, but truly, most of the time I'm in my little bubble happily going about my business. Last night, I had a bit of an eye opening...I went to a friend's home to help sew buttonholes on a costume she was making for her son...her 29 year old son. And my friend, who doesn't really sew, she mends...had taken a picture from the internet and made a pattern out of newspaper to create the white coat worn by none other than the infamous Dr. Horrible....ever heard of him? Me neither. But apparently he's a world-wide sensation! He's all over the internet and I'd bet you'd recognize him...he's played by Doogie Howser...can't think of what his real name is but you know who I mean...I still don't get this Dr. Horrible, who has an official fan site and a sing-a-long site, I don't know whether it's a TV show or a movie or a backyard production...but whatever it is, it has fans that could rival any Star Trek convention!
Dr. Horrible wears a long white coat, weird goggles on his head, heavy white welding gloves and big white rubber boots that his khaki pants are tucked into...he's quite the dashing figure! My friend's son is going to wear this ensemble to the airport Halloween night to pick up his girl friend...I'm sure I'll be able to see him on the 10:00 news - being hauled away by TSA wanna-be cops - because if I'm not mistaken, people in masks and weird clothing are frowned upon at the airport!
If you have time to kill...look up Dr. Horrible, who's just trying to change the status quo, because, as he says, the status isn't quo...see what you're missing?
You might be thinking, roasted potatoes, had 'em...but I'll bet you haven't had 'em like this...coated in Italian dressing and Parmesan cheese...zesty and cheesey and roasty...for lack of a better word!
