Heroes update: man, it's annoying, but Peter is so hot. Quite possibly not as hot as Nathan. I think maybe it might be that Milo is hotter than Adrian but Nathan is hotter than Peter. So I miss Nathan. I kind of wish Matt had died instead? Matt and Sylar maybe? But Matt is actually interesting in this episode, a little. So far. He is being a stay-at-home dad, which is cool and cute (but apparently it's because he's afraid to leave the house, which is sad) and his wife has a. . . who the heck is looking after Matt Jr? Anyway, Janice I think has a very short haircut and she looks fab.
I like Emma a lot, and her relationship with Peter, but her power is dumb and getting dumber. (I've never actually seen Mohinder with powers before, though, that's kind of cool. He is an attractive man, god damn. I guess if he does good things it'll be worth watching but what are the odds of that.)
Aaaanyway.
I was listening to Phantom of the Opera while I took my shower, cos that's what I get to do when my roommate is in Colorado, and thinking "Man, Michael Crawford is good." Then I thought "duh." Then I was thinking about how freaking awesome it is that he was Hero in Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. That is just a hilarious part for the Phantom to play and it makes me happy.
BUT in the annals of "other characters played by musical theater actors," nothing has ever been as amazing or hilarious as the fact that Harry Groener, who played the Mayor in season 3 of Buffy (my favorite BtVS villain!), was Munkustrap in the original Broadway cast of CATS. I think, although I'm not sure, that I recognized the name. Like, I wasn't looking at a list of things he's been in. I was looking at my book about CATS (guys, we shouldn't even talk about how into that musical I was) and I saw his name and I was like "Wait, Harry Groener? That sounds familiar!" Or vice versa.
Also I was trying to find a picture of him as Munkustrap (there was totally one in my book, it has not ended up on the internet yet I guess) and I ended up at a CATS site and it had a black sparkly star background and a MIDI!! And then I went to the home page and I'd totally been there before, which has to be true of pretty much every CATS fansite on the internet. Although geocities closing down probably severely cut down those numbers.
Autocomplete Me is making me happy these days.
Evan Lysacek, what are you doing on my TV? I need to prepare myself for potential Lysacek. He can't just jump out on me unexpected. I will say this for Lysacek, though, he takes a hilarious photoshoot. (Johnny is on the right, making it work. Johnny is all about photoshoots.) The picture on the left, or one very similar, is the background on Katie's laptop, which she doesn't use often. So whenever she opens it, Evan is all "HEY WANT SOME SNOW KATIE. I HAVE SNOW FOR YOU."
