So I got out of bed when my alarm went off this morning, and realized I was up with a full forty minutes to spare. I figured that meant I had plenty of time to eat breakfast.
I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up almost late for class.
Adventure stories was pretty good today, I contributed a bit. I think my shining moment was when I brought Dinosaurs into the conversation, since we were talking about how the humor in the version of the Odyssey that the guy from Blackadder wrote wouldn't be appreciated by children. I mentioned Dinosaurs as a prime example of something that children can enjoy watching and not really understand, and as you grow up you get the satires and are able to enjoy watching it with your children; someone else then tied in Shrek, and our professor said we were talking about something she'd hoped we would hit on. HA. It was fun.
I then killed off two hours reading about the ten worst foreign remakes of American films and things like that, then had Diff Eq, killed off a bit more time, and had Actuarial Maths. Class 4-5 on a Friday is going to get really, really rough. Especially if the people who sit behind me continue to be tipsy.
My friends and I went to the Banana Cabaret, which was a comedy club. It was loads of fun! The performers of the evening were Rich Wilson, Miles Jupp, Steve Weiner and Al Cruttenden. They were all fantastically funny; Al's was really interesting because he started by ragging on the US a bit, and then went on to do a lot of Australia bashing, which surprised us (we anticipated at least one comic saying something about the inauguration and the recession). I don't even remember what bit he was running, but I was almost crying I was laughing so hard towards the end. Maybe it was when he was talking about the obesity epidemic, and how he wished it was a disease so he could go breathe on skinny people and run off shouting, "haha! Now you're infected!" I think it was Steve who had a bit about a supermarket, and got onto this thing about mothers who keep their kids on leashes, and then threatening them by invoking the father, the son, and the archangel next door that "I'm going to smack your face off, I'm not even kidding." "Boy, I'd hate to see her jokes... 'knock knock.' 'Who's there?' 'I'm going to smack your face off.'"
I love being around comedians. I need to go to comedy clubs every couple weeks, I think, or I'll suffer from withdrawals (between the CCE and the Comedy Connection, I was well covered for about a year solid).
I'm going grocery shopping again sometime this weekend, which is good. I don't know why, but my bananas are funny colored. They're half brown, half green. They sort've felt like skipping the ripened stage, I think, and it's very sad.
Also, I have Sprite in my fridge now thanks to UF Kevin, and it's making me very happy. Yuuuuum.
