A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Baby Plucky in “Going Up”

So Warner Bros. took away what I wanted to put up here, the Batman the Animated Series episode called “Christmas with the Joker” and he says “A Wonderful Life will not be playing this year…” love that episode. But no, it’s gone. So I give you Baby Plucky from Tiny Toons. “Elalator go up…elalator go down…”

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away BONUS!

Alright. Here’s the truth. I’m tipsy because I’m tired, didn’t drink very much, and I’m a lightweight… I used to get drunk off the smell of wine. I’m much better now, but I’m honestly celebrating that I finished a paper. Why the hell not… celebrate I mean. Well, there was left over drinks from when my friends came to visit me this weekend so I’m finishing them off (it wasn’t a lot). That means I am drinking/eating my frozen drink with a spoon… and it’s gooooood. Seriously though, I’m not that tipsy. I’m just tired.

Ok! And my bonus videos of the week because I think people should see them other then me and appreciate <>them because I’m a big N-E-R-D. These are all on my YouTube site, so I’m just giving you some highlighted videos that I have enjoyed and I think you should too. And you’re going to need some time to kill to watch these…

First one is actually on my YouTube Home page. It’s 8 minutes long, but it’s worth it to watch it all if you’re a Kermit fan.

The next one is good for how I’ve been feeling all week… drinking (because of the opening and the thought that I had a paper due)! “We’re showing the evils of alcohol.” (Even though I don’t like beer) Good stuff… I bring you Tiny Toons and “One Beer.”

And the last one for this super bonus video post, I bring you “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” by the Police because I mentioned it in the previous post and think you need to see how Sting can rock out with a cap (square cardboard) (I don’t remember the offical name of the cap in cap and gown) on.

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ You’re Beautiful

Sometimes you just have to love yourself. Sometimes you get noticed. These two thoughts are what this week’s video (and blog post) have to deal with.

Let’s begin with the happy thoughts. I must learn to self promote if I want to be a successful artist, so here I go:

I am currently having a show in the MFA Gallery here in Montclair State University. It’s a group show with my two friends Martha and Janet and the title of our show is “Sex and Violence.”

Our “code” names for the show are Candi (me), Nadia (Martha), and Lola (Janet). The opening was Tuesday night and it was awesome (wish you could have been there). I tried to post a slide show of pictures from the opening but wordpress didn’t allow it, so go check out my MySpace page where it’s all decked out for our show.

Candi’s MySpace Page

So that’s the end of the loving and promoting myself part. So I was going to explain why I put this video up but I realized that it’s way to easy to get to this blog with just looking up Montclair or MFA (from previous posts… and now this one will be added since I used both terms here) I’ll just leave it up to your imagination of why I decided to put this song up… hope you enjoy.

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ MC Hammer – Pray

Maybe a little prayer will help me out. I have roommate issues. We all know this. They stuck me in a room with three juniors and one of them in particular just plain sucks. She steals my food, is f-ing loud at all hours, drinks all week (and is loud), uses my dishes and then doesn’t wash them, is throwing a party tomorrow without saying anything to me, smokes in the common room and her room (my window is next to hers), and is just plain rude. I’ve complained to the higher authorities and the best they can do is stick me in a double and I am too old to be in a double. I’ve asked my CA for help about the smoking and happened to mention why I needed help again (the continuing of the food stealing, etc.) and he sent me back and e-mail with “friendly advice” saying that I need to stand up for myself and that he won’t always be there to rescue me. First off… he really hasn’t done anything for me except tell me I need to confront my roommate and he talked to the head of housing who I could have talked to even without his help. Two, this girl is crazy. She actually scares me a bit and any one who knows me knows I am just not a confrontational person. I am not on her good side and don’t really want to be. I just haven’t really been around anymore so I can’t let her bother me anymore. The times I have mentioned something about the dishes or the food she flat out lied to me. So yeah, I don’t trust her. So I asked my CA for help about the smoking because it is something that needs to be addressed because there is a strict no smoking policy in the dorms. I don’t have time to deal with this anymore… so this is why I need to pray… pray… I need to pray just to make it today.

I’m hanging a show in a couple of days. I have no work done. Another reason to pray. So I give you MC Hammer and a little praying for things to actually work out for me… for once, because MSU, fate, and anything for that matter, has not been too kind to me lately. 

The B.L.A.M. Tour

Okay, it’s 2:24 A.M. and I’m in the middle of writing my midterm that is due tomorrow… and what am I doing? Writing about how I went to see Barenaked Ladies this past Thursday. I am also currently listening to solo piano radio on iTunes because 1. I just discovered that I have iTunes on my computer and 2. My roommates are so f-ing loud that I really need earplugs, but I don’t have any so listening to slow piano music will just have to do while I write this midterm paper.

So on my ticket is said “Barenaked Ladies” blablabla “with special guest” (then the next line in large letters “The B.L.A.M. Tour.” My friend asked me when I said that I was going to this concert was there going to be anyone opening for them, I said, hm, I guess The B.L.A.M. tour whoever they are. Sometimes my stupidity amazes me. Let me continue. So I was sitting there in these fantastic seats (because, yes, I am in the fan club and bought them early the day they said that I could buy them on-line before everyone else because I am in the fan club) listening to this band that I can’t even remember the name of (the name of the band was the lead singer’s name) and they were bad and I was wondering when was the B.L.A.M. tour coming on? I mean, Barenaked Ladies isn’t that huge that they would have 2 opening acts. Then it hit me. I am such an idiot sometimes… B.L.A.M. B-Barenaked L-Ladies A-Are M-Me (the name of their new album) Tour. It was the name of their tour. I’m a dumbass. Well, ok, I’m not a total dumbass but let me just say I’ve been awful sick for the past two weeks… that should grant me at least one stupid oblivious thought.

Anywho, the concert rocked. I had a great time even though I was sick. I could see, I could sit because everyone in front of me was sitting, and it was great. This weekend as a whole is another story. Getting “locked” out of my apartment because my roommatesneglected to tell me that they changed the lock, missing my friend’s opening because of this, having to go back down to Philly for something and come back 2 hours later to work on a project and this midterm and on and on and on. Sigh. Moving on.

Since I didn’t give an official video of the week last week because it was Halloween (had to post a Halloween video of course) and then I wasn’t here for the rest of the week because I went to the concert I give you one of the last songs that they played and one of my favorites. Also a picture that I took from my seat. I heart BNL.
