bliumchikI don't know when I'll have time to read notes for my classes! I have three MASSIVE readers to buy and a more normal-sized textbook, and people keep inviting me to things! Yesterday Beth and I were going to go to SPROCKET (UTS film club) to watch Brokeback Mountain, but they rather cleverly held the meeting in the Glasshouse Bar at five o'clock during summer, hmmm, what could go wrong? What do you mean there are no curtain son the ceiling!?
So instead we grabbed Henrietta and headed over to USYD for a comedy night, which was brilliant. Line-up included the Axis of Awesome and Tripod... is it just me or is the three-man-comedy-band format getting quite popular? But the Axis was indeed Awesome (how to catch a duck! Crime solving *cough* cowboys! And a medley that completely upstaged Rob P. although his cello jokes still win) and so of course were Tripod. I hadn't seen either of them live before, I only knew AoA from their wonderful Election Rap Battle. In between, though, was some guy called Sam who just bombed completely. I felt so sorry for him because I know what it feels like to get up on stage and fail that badly and it is not fun, but seriously. He was awful. He had stage presence, he just wasn't funny. At all. He kept going on about choose-your-own-adventure games and pulling people onstage to throw random "trivia" questions at them before supplying the punchlines himself after they went "um..." for a bit. I was like "...can we get to page six where you fall into the pit of quicksand, and then the scorpions come?"
I always hated Choose Your Own Adventure! books anyway. Today I'm going to Purple Sneakers, which is apparently some sort of indie music club type thing. I'm really not sure if I should but, eh. Why not? They have glowsticks! And then on Saturday I'm watching the Mardi Gras parade. it took me long enough to find someone who wanted to go with me - everyone's all oh, mardi gras is so last year, what the hell? It was right before my exams last year.
Anyway, I shall leave you with another amusing link and go get dessed.
