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. 

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Pepsi and Michael

After reading about my brother’s 10 year reunion from high school I began thinking about my own high school experience. One, my 10 year reunion is only 3 years away. Two, high school is a bit fuzzy for me. No, I wasn’t “on” anything during any part of high school but really it’s a bit unclear. Admittedly I think how I remembered high school was who I was dating at the time (let’s see, John L. freshman yr for 3 months – went to Homecoming together, very briefly Jeff E., Jeff F for 6 months soph and beginning of jr. year – went to Jr. year Homecoming with him, Jon P. for 3 months Jr. year- went to France forHumanities and prom with him, the John P. (different John) for basically all of senior year (and beginning of collage freshman year). Okay, not that you need to know all of that (yes, lots of “J” names, I later dated a Mark for 5 years just to let you know that I’m not letter obsessed) but seriously, I think that’s how I remember high school. Also I was reading the Wikipedia entry on H-F and I don’t think I was supposed to graduate. I didn’t take 3 sciences… how did I get out of that?

Anyway this week on “A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away” I wish I could put something up about my high school or put up the video where you can see me running for wedding dresses (see Running of the Brides post for links), but a Pepsi commercial where Michael Jackson sings and dances just has to do. Well, and I guess it goes with the theme, I do prefer Pepsi over Coke.

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Bridezilla – The Dress

This weeks video is in honor of my friend Magy and what we’re going to do Friday morning. Friday morning I will be helping her (along with her mother and a friend) run through Filene’s Basement and find the perfect dress… hopefully. She will be participating in the“Running of the Brides” and I will be there to support, kick, yell, guard, steal, in any way that I can.

So I bring you a promotion for the show Bridezilla on WE (which I rented and was very entertaining… I miss the first season’s voice over).

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Partical Man

Ah, love YouTube. Found a great find… hm… does that sound right? Anyway, I give you Partical Man by They Might Be Giants performed by Tiny Toons.

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Mr. T Styling

So this video is brought to you by me going through my friends on MySpace. My fabulous friend Heather found this entertaining clip – here is the longer version for you to enjoy. Remember – everybody gotta wear clothes and if you don’t you’ll get arrested.

A Video a Week Keeps the Boredom Away ~ Captain EO Trailer

OH MY GOODNESS. Alright, so when I saw this on YouTube, I actually squealed. I am so happy. This brings back soooo many memories. My family and I used to go to Disney World every year since I was 3 and I used to love to go see this at Epcot over and over again. I was so sad when Disney replaced this movie with “Honey I Shrunk The Audience” (lame). I bring you the trailer of “Captain EO” and if you want to see the whole movie, go check out my YouTube page where the whole thing is waiting for you to enjoy. (I didn’t know Coppola and Lucas were involved in this… ah well, I was just a kid)
