It's been 25 years since the movie came out and it still kills me. Empire did a photo shoot with them and oh how I wish I were there. Steve Martin's autobiography is one of the reasons I continue to try to be a writer. What a bunch of knuckleheads.
I'm still busy with school but I'll get back to regular blogging when I'm done with school and unemployed.

IIT...
My dad showed me this the other day. It is awesome for two reasons. First, my dad showed me something on the internet I'd never seen before which is kind of like catching an asteroid in a baseball mitt. Second, it's really interesting. Last time when I was in India I had a conversation with my cousin, who was thinking about moving to America to go to school or get work in the IT sector, that went (basically) like this:
Me: Hi cousin I haven't seen since I was 10. How's it going?
Her: What do you go to school for?
Me: I'm in film school. I want to be a writer and director.
Her: What do you know about IT?
Me: Um, that it stands for information technology. Right?
Her: What can you tell me about it?
Me: I don't know anything about it other than what it stands for.
Her: You don't know anything about IT? What else do you do?
At which point my dad started laughing and interjected that people in America don't know anything nor do they have aspirations of joining the IT sector, as we have ill advised dreams to chase such as being a director.
Anyway, it's interesting and you should watch it if you've got ten minutes. I didn't know anything about the India Institute of Technology, but after watching this and coincidentally reading about it in a book I'm reading, it really is possibly the best technological school in the world.

Um, if you like action movies and haven't seen the trailer for Legend of the Fist yet, you're missing out. Enjoy.
And if you still don't believe me:

It's All Good Y'all...
I was going to blog about Tiger validating human existence yet again, but someone did it better than I would have so read this post instead.
It was 85 degrees and sunny in Chicago yesterday. On April 10th. People were at the beach, grilling and general sharing outdoor merriment. Of course I was at home in Michigan where the weather was still nice, but about 20 degrees cooler. I hope this wasn't the one day of the year I look forward to most. The one early Spring day you wait all Fall and Winter for. The one day that reminds you why you live in the Midwest, the reason you're not one of those people in California who stay inside when it's sunny and 80 degrees out. I hope there is another Summer advance coming soon, because if I missed my window for margaritas and bbq-ing a month or two before I should expect it, I'll be pissed.
Go big.

Food Network...
I'm slowly becoming obsessed with new things. Gone are the days of American Idol (which I haven't seen a single episode of yet this season) and whatever else I used to watch, only to be replaced by more mindless pleasures. I've always liked cooking shows, but since I haven't had cable for a couple of years, I never got into Iron Chef or any of those shows...until now. Since Nebraska has cable and a willingness to hand over the remote, I've become infatuated with Chopped and Top Chef. I can't get enough. The only thing I had about the Food Network is their seemingly endless supply of episodes of Cupcake Wars and baking shows. Give me a restaurant renovation show and some cooks going head to head and I'm good for about 12 hours. Don't get me wrong, I'm still committed to Parks & Rec, Community, Californication and Modern Family, but for the other 166 hours a week those shows aren't on, I've got TFN.
And also Swamp People. I think that's on the History Channel. That show is also amazing. If you have On Demand, you should watch all of season 1. Season 2 just started and it's gonna be a good one. Willy already got bit! Crazy, I know.
Texas and I decided we are going to start doing our own Iron Chef challenges. Someone is going to choose a few ingredients for us and it's up to us to use them however we see fit. A judge(s) will decide who the winner is. This will surely be fun and fascinating for you, so I'll be sure to update you with pictures or videos. Maybe then I'll have something to blog about.
