I have a small confession to make.
I am currently obsessed with… Neil Patrick Harris.
When I was a kid, young and with less spare time than now, one of my favourite shows was Doogie Howser M.D. I had me a little crush then and, yes, I admit it, forgot all about him until well… Starship Troopers. He had been put into the pocket of my head of ‘crushes with three names’ with Robert Sean Leonard.
Now, with How I Met Your Mother, I love, adore and want desperately his character Barney Stinson (wow, how much does that say about me?) – I tried to convince myself it was just the ‘man in a nice suit’ thing that I have but love, want, adore…
And then Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog… I knew he could sing, had it in the back of my head, and had seen it on YouTube videos (this one does funny things to my tummy) but holy God…
There were a large number of moments during the course of the three glorious acts when he really got me (a man who can sing really does it for me anyway) but I would like to share with you two particular moments. The first verse (well, the whole thing really but particularly) of Brand New Day/You’re Gonna Die… the way his lips and eyes and the whole thing. It just works well.

but that may just have more to do with the clever music or the whole… I don’t know -these things are generally a little vague with me. I remember once getting a little crush on a guy because of the way he HTML (he emphasised the ‘T’ in a cute cute way…
Ooo… and the shoulder action but in Freeze-Ray (no video). Yep, I’m losing my noodle.
It’s a new obsession – well, something had to fill the David Tennant void.
