Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Can you imagine being chosen to take part in a Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt to meet a famous celebrity in Los Angeles.  Wouldn’t that be a hoot?  These people had the opportunity so they started at the famous Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round which has been a historic landmark since 1937.  Did you know that that is where Walt Disney brought his children before he built Disneyland?

They went to Amoeba Records which is the most famous historic music store in Los Angeles.  Hmmm, I didn’t even know they still had record stores.  Apparently you can buy all of your music there on Vinyl, CD’s and Tapes.  No 8-track?  Next stop, Rodeo Drive where they had to count how many palm trees there were.  That’s not easy to do because you know you can get distracted easily by all the pretty women…  They got to eat at Pink’s Hot Dogs.  I’ve been there, the hot dogs are pretty good I must say.  Their final destination was the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. where they met their celebrity Christina Milian.

That was a ride, wasn’t it?  I love scavenger hunts and that one was pretty good.  I think it would be cool to go on a scavenger hunt like that to meet a favorite celebrity.  If you were given the chance, which celebrity would you like to meet?  I can think of a few, but I think the one that I would most like to meet is Neil Patrick Harris.  I just think he’s awesome.

Nevermind the scavenger hunt, can you imagine driving a Kia Rio?  They have such awesome features like the USB Jack, bluetooth, navigation, rear camera and most notable UVO Technology from Microsoft.  You know you can have one right?  Just go to the Rio Explorer Page and check out their new 2013 5-door cars.  I think it’s an awesome piece of machinery, I think they should just call it a 5-door awesome.  But that’s just me.

If you and a friend could Zip and Dash anywhere, where woud it be?  I would love to take this car to the beach, any beach is fine by me.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

On By Michel McDonaldIn Celebrities, TVLeave a comment

There is a movie that I just heard about that is from Joss Whedon and family that I am head over heals for.  It’s called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog which stars Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer.

OMG it is so good.  It’s basically a 42 minute musical (as by the title) comedy all about Dr. Horrible sitting in front of his computer doing video blogs and he tries to rule the city while Captain Hammer always tries to save the day.  But Captain Hammer is a pompous prick.

Normally you would root for the good guy but in this movie the good guy is a douche and you root for the bad guy instead because even though he is evil to the core, he’s still a sweet lovable guy who just wants to get the girl (gag).

Let’s face it, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion are perfect for these roles.  They both can sing.  Oh boy can they sing.  And they both do such a great job in this as their characters.

Dr. Horrible’s… was a little movie with 3 acts filmed during the writer’s strike of 2008.  I was told by a friend tonight about this musical episode that it was going to be a new summer 2009 show for ABC but when I went to ABC.com it didn’t show anything so I just assumed it was Hulu only.  Then I discovered that Amazon has the DVD for sale.

I also Googled the shows title and found the official website.  I’m reading the “Master Plan” and I see that it was only going to be available to see on the internet until July 20th 2008 then it’s gone from the internet forever.  But… it is still on the internet.

If you would like to buy it on DVD make sure you go to Amazon and to www.drhorrible.com to download it on iTunes.  They also have some t-shirts for sale for $25.

Nathan is in his own show on ABC called Castle which is on Monday’s at 10/9C and Neil Patrick Harris is still in How I Met Your Mother on CBS Monday’s at 8:30/7:30C.

Which ever show you watch you can also watch them at Hulu, that you can be sure of.
