Legitimate Theatre

Last night I took in a play, one of the Bard's most famous... except it was performed by one man, and it was definitely warped from the original script. MacHomer is Rick Miller's interpretation of MacBeth, if MacBeth was a one-man show where every character is represented by a Simpsons character.

After consulting with my peers (Lance and a few members of my cohort from school) we decided that it was all-in-all pretty darn impressive. His Homer impersonation wasn't great, but the rest of the interpretations were awesome... especially Marge. Bart and Lisa were barely featured... and it is our guess that he isn't very good at those either, so they were substituted by others. Overall I would guess there were at least 40 characters, ranging from Dr. Nick to Dr. Hibbert, and every non-Dr. character in between.

If it is ever being performed in a town near you, go see it. It was well worth the $10 student tickets.

No real news....

Just...

I GOT A NEW HIGH SCORE IN BUBBLESPINNER!!!!!!!

***11,652***

Play here.... beat me if you can...

In other news, people don't really know how to use punctuation. Check out this blog. It is a collection of misused quotation marks. It gave me many belly laughs. Enjoy.

So Jen hates Tat....

Jen now hates my sister Tatiana (so mean, right??!??) because Tat introduced me to this:

My high score is 1906.... try to beat that. I have been playing a week and have already wasted so much time.

I LOVE BUBBLESPINNER!!!!!

P.S. - in other items... I'll try to update more often. Sorry.

New Camera

So, my wife is awesome. She got a new digital camera for her birthday (thanks everyone!) even though she has never really, really wanted one. I pretty much convinced her we needed one. However, I think after a couple days, she is a convert to digital technology.


Why you ask? Because it can do things like this.


Yeah.... that is underwater filming with a digital camera... sweet.

The Showdown

So Brian "BB" Barabash is the man. I challenged him to a shootout (soccer/futbol)... which is something you should never do when your opponent has an ammunition related nickname.

Going in I talked a lot of smack, saying I could score 8 of 10 on BB.... I failed. Miserably.

Kyre filmed it for us.

Here it is. (Scroll down)

Back from Zion

Here are some pics from the Reunion, and a video.

Thank Erik for his great work, as all these are his, I will post more that I like later (when I can gather pics from Dan, Bonnie, Renae, Reggie, Tat, and Mom...)

In the video we are singing (duh) for the Clawson Family Talent Show... we just made up a song. Tat was the lyricist, she did a primo job. Pay attention to the line about our skin tones... It is OK to laugh a lot, Reggie said so.

We had a blast, I really like my family.

Weezer

So Weezer dropped a new self-titled album a few weeks back... and it rocks. This is the third time they couldn't come up with an adequate name so they just resort to calling it Weezer and letting their fans call it by the color of the background of the album cover... in this case... red.


This is the best work since Pinkerton, far surpassing Weezer (Green), Maladroit, and Make Believe. I highly recommend it, especially the tracks "The Greatest Man who Ever Lived" and "Dreamin'"

Also, I found out that Rock Band 2 is coming out in September. That will be really cool. Jethro Tull will be on there... beat that.

It's been a while...

Not a lot has happened that I have felt is "blog-worthy" recently. Mufasa died. He was stubborn and would not eat frozen food and he wasn't getting enough nutrition from the live food we were giving him every 5 days or so to keep him alive (per the instructions of 2 aquarists)

So cross lionfish off of the list for things I want. They are finicky eaters and hard to maintain with the other fish. Lesson learned.

Our anemone is doing well though, so that is a plus.

On the very brightside, in 5 weeks, I will be leaving Capital City Bank and venturing back to the "Ivory Tower" of academia. In the midst of those weeks, I have a 2-week vacation. One of those weeks will be spent in Utah at the Quadrennial Clawson Family Reunion. For those of you who know Blair and are immediately thinking, "that doesn't sound like fun" ... you are wrong. In fact, if you are going by your opinion on Blair, you may think the Clawsons are a lot like the Schrutes. This is not true, the Clawsons are actually a fun bunch to hang with. (sidebar: I love Blair, but come on, it is fun to pick on him)

Lastly, if you enjoy The Office (American Version)... check out the British (original) version. Brian "I hate UT-Austin" Barabash lent me the complete series... it is wonderful. The language is a little rougher, because that is how the Queen likes it, but if you can get past that, you won't want to miss the midget/dwarf argument.

Have a great July weekend.
