With somewhat long drives to work, I like to fill my time with podcasts and comedy albums. I mentioned this before, but Doug Loves Movies is a great weekly podcast that led to many other great things to listen to like the previously mentioned Garfunkel & Oates and The Nerdist podcast.
The Nerdist is hosted by Chris Hardwick, who is almost completely opposite of the guy who used to host Singled Out, and two other guys who have an hour long long interview/chat with a somewhat famous guest. On the most recent episode, they decided to change the format to a full stand up episode of Comics You Should Know featuring a couple good comics I had never heard of (but worth listening) and my current favorite Kyle Kinane, doing hilarious new material.
But Kyle wasn’t the closer of the show; the last comic was Matt Braunger, who ended the show with a story about a Clown Bar Crawl from when he was still in Chicago. While on it’s own was a fantastic story about how funny it was to have 90 full costume/makeup-ed clowns enter unannounced into a bar, it was even funnier to know that Joan bartended at the Isle when one of these Clown bar crawls came through.
Basically I am saying you should check this episode out. Also, Joan should re-tell her experience with the clown bar crawl.
I’ll try to keep this one quick. So little to do, so much time. Haven’t seen ChartPorn in a while, and I found this little number. I mostly like it for what they name Ireland. Horticulture 361 was awesome this Monday, cause he gave us ice cream topped with passionfruit preserves or syrup. Preserves are relatively expensive, but definitely one of the best expericenes I’ve had with ice cream. And that’s sayin something.  Urban Dictionary has voting for 2010 word of the year. My favorite is gate rape. P-P-P-Puns! A new way I’m using twitter is to post my favorite Simposons quotes, especially Grampa\’s,  “Dear @BarackObama, There are too many states these days. Please eliminate 3. P.S. I am not a crackpot.” Oh and I stumbled on 1900s color photography, really hard to grasp just how old these are.
Laaaast but not least, I saw a commercial for  me and Neilio’s favorite game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and thought, gosh it would be sweet to have PS3 and be able to play. Turns out I DO have PS3. Joan, put it on my Christmas list on the board downstairs, por favor.
Getting a Twitter now may have been questionable timing on my part. But as you can surmise from the title of this post, things are lookin’ smooth for yours truly. After next Wednesday, I will have finished 4 of 5 classes, and the final for the last will be a week and a half after. Till then I’m so busy, I figured I’d get all of the blogging out of my system.
On the subject of Twitter, I’ve been following and successively unfollowing many celebrities. Thus far, the most enduring people on this list are PBS and NPR personalities. I say, what’s good enough for Phil Ponce is good enough for me. Seriously though, his blog ain’t half bad.
I usually have a video or two for these posts…..and this isno exception. Thanks to Blume and Cade, respectively.
And to finish up this less-than-interesting psych class, we have to participate in studies. Weak sauce, I assure you, seeing as one had me look at pictures of countless desserts for 15 straight minutes. No dessert reward however. Thus my mind has been preoccupied. Brian, although I forget exactly what Amy Joy was like, I’m pretty sure the Ye Olde Donuts I make on Sundays are pretty damn close. Also, Whipahol? Lord help us. OoOoh! And who knew dark-chocolate-covered acai berries and blueberries could be so damn tasty?
