Ping Pong in Ding Dang
Last week's presentation went awesomely (that doesn't seem like a word, but apparently it is - whodathunkit).
Not only did I get "Shaun of the Dead" and swearing in there, I was also able to put in a picture from "Lost", Borat, and even a comic from The Perry Bible Fellowship. This just goes to show how awesome I am at making presentations which have nothing to do with any of the above.
I made my presentation fun and interesting, and I think those who attended it appreciated my off-beat humour. Sadly though, only a handful of people came. I was honestly hoping for more people to come, just so I can show them how to NOT bore an audience.
HA!
But anyways, that's all over with, thankfully.

Later that day I went to art class and drew a girl with an obvious eating disorder. Her lack of... her... was difficult to draw and I ended up drawing some pretty shitty sketches. True, she had good muscle definition, but... it was still a bit freaky. I wanted to give her some food, rather than sketch her.

I've been watching far too many movies lately. With essentially no life here in Van, I escape my dreadfully depressing life by resorting to the high fantasy of film.
My top two picks this week are: Idiocracy and Strangers with Candy
-Idiocracy-
It's a Mike Judge film, of Beavis and Butthead fame, and more importantly - Office Space. I was surprised to find it stars Luke Wilson, but what made it such a great movie was how dumb it was. It's supposed to be dumb. I mean... I had extremely low expectations for this film, but it made me laugh on multiple occasions.
Basically, the premise of the story is that Darwin's Survival of the Fittest no longer applies to today's society. Smart people are not reproducing due to hesitation and worries of the future, while dumb hicks fuck everyone and as a result reproduce more and carry their genes on to future generations. Wilson plays an average guy aptly named Joe, who gets frozen in time in an army experiment, only to find himself awake five hundred years later after a garbage avalanche. He realizes that society has become incredibly stupid, and he himself has emerged as the smartest man alive, despite talking like a fag, as the denizens claim.
The president, a former wrestling champion, then appoints him secretary of the interior and has given Joe seven days to solve all the world's problems, otherwise he fucks his ass up.
In a nutshell: if you enjoy the humour of Mike Judge, do yourself a favour and check this film out. It was stupid, but... like I said, that's the whole point.
-Strangers with Candy-
47-year old ex-con Jerri Blank decides to get back to where she left off over twenty years ago and enrolls in high school in the hopes of waking up her comatose father.
The jokes are awesome, but the real reason to see this film is for Stephen Colbert.
Seriously.
I also watched Borat, and I just have this to say: WTF?
===
I'm in the process of determining the rest of my life.
It's kinda tough. Maybe I'll elaborate another night.
In other news, I'm sick (again). I don't know what it is but it's not fun.
In other other news, I won an IPod.
Awesome.
Well, goodnight.
