Monday was so awesome. In one of my English classes, we got to watch a fifteen minute video presentation a student made. It consisted of two performances where he, a 5'4" bald 40-year-old man, pranced around in a black unitard while giving the most dramatic reading ever... of show tune lyrics. Not singing. Reading.
The reading also included him acting out a few of the lines (i.e. when he said, "it would kill me blah blah blah," he would mime being stabbed and fall to the floor).
The first one was a one-man performance. The second involved his acting class teacher.
Oh, man. It was so freakin' awesome.
But in a "oh, man, this is so freakin' bad that it's freakin' awesome" kind of way.
I had to give a presentation, too. But I just stood in front of the class and read a comic book to them.
Bible class was cancelled tonight.
So no staring at the cute girl for me this week. Which might be a good thing, as I just got a haircut and it looks awful. I think the barber gave me a mini-mullet. I can't really tell.
I recently got the (Kirk and Spock-era) Star Trek/X-Men crossover comic for $2. Which is $3 less than what I would've paid for it when it was originally released. So that makes me happy.
It also rocks that, with the exception of Rogue, it contains all my favorite X-Men. And Kirk tries to pick up Jean Grey. Oh, man. That's awesome.
The story is kind of stupid, with a bunch of dumb cliches. But, hey, what can you expect from a mid-90's comic? Especially a mid-90's comic written by Scott Lobdell.
Spoilers!
Proteus (who was KILLED, mind you) jumps through a dimensional rift into the future and becomes linked tothe mind of Gary Mitchell (remember the dude who got the God-like powers and then was KILLED?)?
Although, I do like how they managed to talk Gary into letting them kill him/Proteus. Way to go there, Lobdell. You big, six-foot gaping asshole.
Then there's the shot of everyone standing next to each other, talking. But for some reason, Wolverine is facing away from them, hunched over. And he says to (but not at) Kirk, "And if yer half the space cowboy Spock claims ya are-- we're in a position to kick some major Shi'ar butt!"
Or the part where, after he's done spying on the crew (while hiding in the air vents), Wolverine starts crouching back to the cargo hold where the other X-Men are. And as he does so, he says, "If we're lucky-- we can get off this ship and down to the planet... without havin' to hurt nobody. If we ain't lucky-- too bad for the crew of the Enterprise!" And to emphasize just how serious he is, HE POPS HIS CLAWS OUT!!!
'Cause he's so bad ass, he doesn't even have to be around anyone in order to intimidate them. He can think about scaring someone, strike a cool pose, and that person will just inexplicably crap him/herself. He's that powerful.
It's times like these that make Garth Ennis' portrayal of Wolvie in recent ishes of Punisher all the funnier... and *sigh* sadder.
For whatever reason, there has been an increase in the number of pretty girls I see during the day. It was just BAM! They all came out of the woodwork suddenly, striking with the same swiftness of fat ninjas at brunch. Or tinner.
Which, while awesome on the one hand, kinda sucks on the other. Ah, well. At least it's only a measly six hour drive to the legal prostitution of Nevada...
Bought my first (legal) alcoholic beverage two nights ago. I had an allergic reaction to some Flintstone's vitamins and my legs broke out in a rash. They were itching like crazy, driving me out of my freakin' mind. (Although, it's my own stupid fault. I knew it would happen; 'cause it's happened before. But Flintstone's vitamins taste so good! I couldn't resist.)
So I did the only thing I could think of: drank until it just didn't matter.
I only bought a small bottle of Kahlua ('cause I'm a sissy
). And I drank some of it the following night. Only about half the bottle is gone. 
Hey, what can I say? I'm a lightweight. And a sissy.
And, lastly, but not leastly: I'm enjoying Bryn's book. And you're not.
So there.
