I'm not sure if it has ever been mentioned on this blog, but I along with my brother have a genuine obsession for a man name Paul Lukas and his column on ESPN's Page 2 (and now blog as well), Uni Watch: The Obsessive Study of Athletics Aesthetics. I was just reading an absolutely hilarious article about NYY Steak, in Yankee Stadium.

I meant to post this earlier today shortly after it happened, but my BlackBerry was being incompetent. Anywho, I was waiting for the bus looking around bored as shit and saw this ant dragging around a leaf. So I'm just watching it going across the sidewalk, when this chick walks by and steps right on the poor guy. It didn't get crushed, but it was so distraught and lost the leaf it was carrying it around and just scrambled back to its hill presumably. That's all really.

Hey party people, so I've got 3 of the most intense classwork days ever. Tomorrow I've got my presentation for 381 on universal service. We decided to make a replica of your typical Zach Morris cell phone, which this guy in my group made look absolutely badass. I'll have a pic of that hopefully soon. After that I'm directing my project 4 for 283, which might be the thing I'm most worried about. Wednesday I got a test for 387, which shouldn't be too bad. Thursday is really just busy for 283 again working on the other two groups projects. Still working on getting the internship secured, so more words on that soon I'm sure. I'm going home May 5th, so I have a nice 5 day weekend to enjoy, not worrying about work and stuff and of course looking for a party to crash.

Man, I really wish I had gone to that British Sea Power concert I got a ticket to last year. I listen to them nonstop now. Oh well, catch them around next time.

Edit: This led to me looking at some of my other favorite bands websites and I found a very interesting movie about Rogue Wave's drummer Pat Spurgeon. He is apparently looking for a kidney donation and in the meantime is still performing! I haven't gotten a chance to watch it myself, but I'm sure it is an awesome flick (featuring live performances from Ben Gibbard, Nada Surf, and of course Rogue Wave among others I'm sure). You can read more on that at dtourmovie.com as well as make a donation and download an exclusive Rogue Wave song.


That was from last summer, look how awesome he is! I wish him the best.

BRING ON THE WAVE!

So, Letterman came back from break today, but guess what? The friggin CBS affiliate here sucks dick and has a blacked out picture! This feels like the brief time that Letterman was simulcast on CBS radio many years back.

Minus: I don't know when commercials are and can't mute it.
Plus: Don't have to see Zach Efron's creepy looking face!
Push: Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning are gonna be on. This is particularly peculiar because I don't listen to the show, but whenever they get a perspective from the duo during Sportscenter there's a picture. Of course since they're making a television appearance I won't be seeing it, just listening.

Personal life is being very interesting, but once again saving that for another post. Looking forward to the weekend though, New York on Friday, Relay for Life most of Saturday and last parties of the semester! Woooooo!

As of this moment I only have 3 weeks of classes left in the semester. Time has flown right by since spring break and overall things are working quite well. Just taped my project three for my production class, where I made my directing debut. The practice really got me into a good flow, but overall it was quite sloppy. The second take was much much better, things worked out really well and I did some more creative shot selections than the group before, which made me happy. I think a third take may have made it perfect, but I didn't want to have our guest bored. By the way, my job was made really easier when the host/guest combo was absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to see how it actually came out on tape though. Campus is definitely gonna be a little empty since many went home for Easter, but most of my primary comrades are hanging around so I'm sure we'll find something to do.
