In this post: a movie review, a clown mask, and some very slippery blocks of ice. In short, the most fun I’ve had in quite a while. Also not to be missed: men clutching each other, men with no pants on, and other totally heterosexual occurrences. But enough hype and deliberate misdirection, on to the story! (more…)

Comedy Central Stand-Up Meets QVC
October 8, 2009Today at school us seniors were forced to go to a forty minuted special assembly wherein we were told how to get our caps and gowns for graduation. But why, you may ask, did that take forty minutes? Well the answer is quite simple: it wasn’t actually about caps and gowns, at least not entirely. Apparently, in these hard economic times, the school cant just keep around at set of loaner gowns, so everyone has to buy their own. Therefore, we were subjected to a forty minute marketing spiel from a guy named Danny who sounded like a cross between Dane Cook and The Shamwow Guy.
Towards the beginning of the assembly Danny decided that we were going to play a game, the winner of which, would receive a free cap and gown. “The game is called ‘Heads or Tails’ have any of you heard of if?” He made a big deal of how this was going to be some sort of amazing game. A couple minutes later, it turned out he was going to be flipping a coin. All in all I think the worst part of the whole thing, was that I was actually entertained the entire time by this slimy marketing guy. Well, him and the random bird that kept hopping around on the window sill… but whatever.
Another Day, Another Girl Bending Over for Me… Wait What!?
October 7, 2009Yesterday in drama class a very amusing thing occurred. We were rehearsing for a production of Harvey. In our production I play the part of a “Doctor Sanderson” while Anastasia plays the part of “Nurse Kelly.” The story with our characters is that we are both in love with each other, but my character won’t admit it and just acts like a jerk to Kelly. Due to this state of affairs, it comes to pass that my character totally stares at Kelly as she is exiting the room. In a surprise move, that no one saw coming, The Roo (if you don’t know who people are, remember to check the “Who’s Who” page) decides that Anastasia should bend over for me, on the pretext of fixing her stockings. Now in terms of the characters, it makes total sense for her to do this, however the fact that The Roo, not only approved of, but encouraged is astounding. Now the funny part… (more…)
