Day 16 – A picture of someone who inspires you

I guess this will probably cement my utter geekiness in your mind, but I think I have to choose Joss Whedon. Well, not him exactly, but the heroes that he has given us. Besides creating amazingly empowering roles for women, he has given us a whole new kind of superhero:

Angel and Spike, from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and "Angel"

Echo, from "Dollhouse"

Buffy Summers, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Captain Mal Reynolds, from "Firefly"

Day 10 – A picture of your celeb. crush

I totally missed yesterday, so you get two posts today. As for the whole celebrity crush thing, I really have too many to just choose one. I am sort of a pop culture junkie, so here are a few of them. Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama from Battlestar Galactica), Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto from NCIS), and Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy, Uther Pendragon from Merlin, and Nathan from Repo! the Genetic Opera).

Geek Culture+Cake=HEAVEN

I have had a pretty lazy sunday, comprised mostly of 'Dr. Who' episodes and Taco Bell. So in lieu of actually writing something, I though...Seriously, who doesn't like cake? So here you go, Firefly, Stargate, and Buffy in Cake Form!

Day 3- A picture of the cast from your favorite show

So, call me a geek all you want, Buffy is the best show ever to be on television. Joss Whedon is pretty much my hero, and I will never really understand why the networks can't see the genius, but whatev. That's why god invented tv on dvd, right? :) Okay, so while Buffy is my favorite show of all time, there are a few others that are close competitors. Angel, Chuck, Battlestar Galactica, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Eureka, and Criminal Minds are all shows that I consider to be brilliant beyond belief. So maybe I am a little bit of a geek, I can handle that. If any of you naysayers out there are judging me on this choice, thinking perhaps that Buffy is a silly show about teenagers fighting mythical creatures, I will remind you that Buffy started the whole mainstream-vampire thing. Yes, I know Bram Stoker and Anne Rice wrote about vampires before 1997, but Buffy is responsible for the vampire pop culture craze. So before you judge, just think, without Whedon's vision, you wouldn't have your True blood obsession, there would be no Team Edward/Team Jacob feud, and cinematic masterpieces (I jest) like Vampire Diaries might have never been on the air. :)
