No more of that.
It seems like it has been an eternity since the last blog post, and, if you're a true Journalism Window fanatic (there's no such person), you'd know this is due to the fact Micah and I had our first Media History midterm on Thursday. It went...sort of well. But do you even care? No. Okay, more stream of consciousness...
I do not feel very well today. In case you're wondering, that is my excuse for writing a shit post today.
Today's topic is: FILM.
It is not as interesting as it should be. But, one thing I did find encouraging, one of the first examples of motion pictures was a four second clip of a man sneezing.
Today's real life tidbit: It's my brother's birthday. He's 9.
For some reason, Frat Douche and his clan full of bros and hos are not talking. They're actually paying attention. I hate it when there are really f*cky people who act like asses but they're uberpopular and get good grades. It goes against nature.
Feeling enlightened? I hoped so.
My favorite thing about all of the outdated clips from interviews and television specials Prof. X shows us is how all of the stodgy, pompous old men have really really awesome glasses. I want every pair.
WHOA. Prof. X just used the phrase "it's like a bad episode of Glee...or a good episode." I've always ragged on his humor, but I'll give him props for that one. (Wtf are props in this context? Like real props? "Here, here are your random stage items for doing something I deem cool." Really, props?)
*QUICK RANT ALERT*
Obviously I'm in class right now, so naturally I'm trying to watch some of last Saturday's SNL with Melissa McCarthy but guess the hell what...DAMN SPONSORED ADS TAKE LIKE 2 MINUTES NOW! It sounds like an awful personal problem, like I'm the most impatient person on this earth, but seriously. SERIOUSLY?! It used to be like, everything had one 15 second advertisements online. Now, watching television online is pretty much just like watching it on the television! You turn it on and it has to buffer then as soon as it's done it's a freakin' ad which finally leads to the episode buffering and finally the real episode, which is interrupted about 6 (I refuse to say 9, although that's ACTUALLY how many there are in an episode of SNL) times for 1 minute advertisements. IF I WANTED TO SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR THE ADS TO END THEN I WOULD WATCH IT WHEN IT'S ON THE TELEVISION. I WATCH SH*T ONLINE TO AVOID THIS BUUUUULL.
Okay, all done. With everything.
BYYEE.
dear austin,
ReplyDelete1. is this your first comment? if so, i feel honored.
2. do not watch snl whilst also blogging and attending class.
3. if you're going to actually watch snl whilst also blogging and attending class, do not complain about something as miniscule as sponsored ads. at least hulu works in your neck of the woods.
