Hero of the Week: Nathan Fillion
I think it's pretty obvious by this point that I'm a ginormous dork, and as such, I love sci-fi. I'm particularly addicted to the works of Joss Whedon, because for serious, who doesn't love Buffy and Dr. Horrible? It was during the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I was first introduced to Nathan Fillion (he was playing an evil preacher possessed by the First Evil who killed girls; super creepy!). Of course, then I had to watch Firefly and Serenity, and Capt. Mal Reynolds was an absolutely amazing character. Fillion went on to star in Waitress, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (as Captain Hammer), and is currently starring in Castle. What I love about this actor is that each character he plays is so distinct; when I'm watching Castle, I never think he sounds like Mal Reynolds or vise versa. But really the reason that he made the list this week is that I'm watching Firefly on Netflix. It's a great show, and anyone who hasn't seen it already should.
Villain of the Week: Monkey bread
Monkey break is so good it's dangerous. Pieces of dough dipped in cinnamon and sugar, then drowned in a butter-cinnamon-sugar mix and baked to an ooey gooey caramelized perfection was nearly my undoing. My friend baked some monkey bread for our glitter party this week, and I think I ate half the pan. It's hard to be a grown-up and eat fruits and vegetables like I'm supposed to when presented with a delightful delicacy named after my favorite animal. So to strip the amazing monkey bread of the power it has over me, I'm declaring it a villain. So there! (P.S. Courtney, you should really take this as a compliment!)
That's all for this week! Have a great weekend everyone!
Firefly is awesome! Nobody's really sure why it was cancelled :(. Monkey break is awesome too! My grandma made it when I was younger...we called it Cinnamon-Sugar Pull-Apart. Monkey Bread is definitely faster and more fun to say!
