Simply Stunning

September 16th, 2008

I was bored tonight while I was waiting for my iPhone to restore after I upgraded it to the 2.1 firmware and then jailbroke it (using the Pwnage tool), so I started poking around Hulu. I knew that there were clips from SNL on there, but I thought that they were all newer clips and didn’t realize that they had some older ones up there. I stumbled upon an old Celebrity Jeopardy clip and laughed until I cried. I remember listening to these with Eric and Ryan and Beck. Eric used to talk just like Will Ferrell’s impression of Alec Trebeck all the time - it’s really catchy. That was around the time that Beck and I went on our Ghetto Fabulous Trip to Europe… we ran around Edinburgh doing Sean Connery from Celebrity Jeopardy Impressions (”Then the day is mine!”) for days before we realized that it was probably really obnoxious to the Scotts… But we continued to do it anyway. ;)

Good times…

Mortification

April 27th, 2008

I was catching up on my video podcasts today (so much easier to fall behind on them as I listen to audio podcasts while I’m exercising) and I saw an episode of Maholo Daily that featured GetMortified.com. “Mortified is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as kids. Witness adults sharing their own adolescent journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories and more.” There are a couple of books and some regionalized “chapters” that do shows based on people’s childhood creations. It sounds uncomfortably hilarious.

Yeah… I certainly have a lot to be mortified about when I think of my childhood. Just look at any of my childhood pictures (actually, I didn’t even post any of the really bad ones…). In fact, there is one home movie in particular that I wrote, directed, and “acted” in as a child that even with my ability to “own” many things would still really, really bother me if it were to surface again. The movie was called “True Love” and let me just say that it is solid evidence of my complete inability to act. Uuugh. I wish I at least knew where the tape was so I could destroy it…
