My daughter and I are about to watch the second and third episodes of
“Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog”,
a short new musical by the Whedon brothers.
Jessica is setting up the movie on her laptop (she has her own copy, bought
from iTunes). You can also read Jessica’s
23 September 2008 blog entry on “Dr. Horrible”.
When we travel together, Jessica and I usually watch a video at night. Over
the past few years, we have watched “Serenity” and “Firefly” and “House M.D.”
episodes as well as more conventional movies. Jessica is a big
Joss Whedon
fan. Last night, we watched the strange but fun first “Dr. Horrible” episode in
which Nathan Fillion (who was Captain Mal in “Serenity” and “Firefly”) plays
a “hero” similar to the character Gaston in Disney’s 1991
“Beauty and the Beast”.
Jessica and I both fly home tomorrow from
the
Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (aka GHC 2008)
in Keystone, Colorado. I am flying to San Francisco and she goes to
Pittsburgh, PA, where she is a CMU Sophomore. This is probably our
last in-person time until she comes home from college for Christmas.
Jessica and I have had a good time together this week and I will miss her.
