Pie and Auditions

I'll try to do something not Youtube related in the future.

First video is made from a couple us from jericho! Improv and Birdstrike Theatre.  There really wasn't a premise for the sketch.  Mike Lane and I bought a pie because we were going to do a spin off of 2 Girls 1 Cup and call it 2 Guys 1 Pie but it was going to be really wholesome... but apparently John Mayer beat us to the bunch.  Therefore, we had to think of a new way to use the pie.  This is what we came up with:

The second video is my audition for the "My Grammy Moment" competition on Youtube.  Basically, you have to film your own rendition of the Foo Fighter's The Pretender.  Judges will select the top 40 performers and then viewers will vote for the top twenty-five.  The top twenty-five get to actually play with the Foo Fighters at the Grammy's and the highest rated performer gets a solo.  I don't know what my odds are of winning but it's only open to people who play orchestral instruments so I thought why not.  Anyway, here it is (if you have a youtube account then rate it and leave a comment to make me feel good):

UPDATE:  I ended up not winning the quarter finals.  Bummer.  Anyway, I took my audition video down, so consider yourself lucky if you saw it!

The More You Know

Some of my favorite fake "The More You Know":

Theory 1: TV on DVD is the new cocaine

"If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."

- Abraham Lincoln

So during the school year, I really don't have time to watch television except for Scrubs and random reruns of sitcoms.  I really like to watch these new shows coming out but I usually miss a few episodes and I don't like watching new ones without knowing the previous context so I just stop watching.

Anyway, over the past few months I have procured a massive amount of television on DVD.  I have all three seasons of Arrested Development, three seasons of the Office, and Heroes Season 1.  In addition, I got some episodes of Entourage backlogged and Extras On Demand.

It comes to my attention that TV on DVD is a harmful drug.  Probably more addictive than cocaine, although that is just a hypothesis that needs testing.  I've already plowed my way through the first two seasons of the Office.  At first it starts off as a casual thing, maybe one episode a day.  But things quickly turned for the worst.

Now I go on episode splurges, maybe four at a time.  Once I go through all three seasons I'm going to crash and probably go into withdrawals.  I mean, here I am living the luxury of overdosing on a finite amount of new episodes but as soon as Season 3 is done I'll have to watch them once a week like everyone else.

My plan?  Switch to a new television series to ease the pain.  Probably Arrested Development.  And thus I spin on this downward spiral of television induced destructiveness.  Hopefully, I'll finish it all before school starts and my grades are affected.

Hopefully.

Probably not.
