Is Amused or Am Amused ?

Granted it is a well-known fact that I have a very dry sense of humor and it is not necessarily shared by all my fellow humans. Also what many of my fellow humans find funny, I find...not.

3. The DenofGeek decided to tabulate all of Joss Whedon's failed projects or the projects he hasn't been able to get off the ground -- you gotta love the internet, not only does it keep track of your successes, it keeps track of your failures and the items you tried and never saw the light of day.

4. In honor of the 30th Birthday of the World Wide Web... Den of the Geek lists the top 25 Buffy Episodes

Actually that's not in honor of the 30th Anniversary of the World Wide Web, that's just me being silly and coming up with an excuse to post both under the same section.

Buffy didn't get me on the WWW. ( Read more... )

Regarding top 25 Buffy episodes..eh, this is the mind of the shipper viewer.
My mind changes constantly. I agree with some of their choices not others.( Read more... )
