SONday

Read all of H.G.Wells's The Time Machine today for Literature: Science Fiction class. Was a good read and way to spend most of the day. I was familiar with the story from seeing the 1960 and 2002 film versions, so it was really cool to read the original story and more importantly one of the very first credible science fiction novels.


Went down to Boulder Coffee to watch then perform at the Stand-Up Open Mic down there. Did all new material tonight. Just wanted to test out new stuff to see what works and what doesn't before the big show at Lovin Cup Wednesday September 23rd. Kinda nervous about it. Going to be pushing it a bunch this week and next spreading the word. Made a new poster for it tonight. Checkedy Check it out....

Woke up late.

Not a productive day.

Almost got bro raped at a party. Freaking weird.

FRYDAY

Woke up mad early and went to a film shoot for my friend.

Ended up shooting this scene for about 11 hours. Was quite worn out and tired by the end of it. Shot a time lapse of most of the day's filming at a one second interval, looks pretty cool. Will be up on Vimeo sometime this week.

Had a party at the house. Was pretty fun, played a bunch pool and cards and hung out with good people and listened to good music.

Thursday

Had History and Aesthetics: New Documentary class where we watched the Werner Herzog film Grizzly Man. It is a tragic film that tells the story of a man within deep conflict of man vs nature. Still pondering on how I really feel about it.



Had a good Mega Slice.

Went to the Dryden and saw Steve McQueen be bad ass again in The Great Escape. Seriously nothing matches watching films on 35mm there. Damn its good.




Rehearsed lines for a shoot tomorrow.

Wednesday

Literature: Science Fiction class 10-noon.

Lunch. Tiger Sub. twas mighty tasty.

Brainstormed video scavenger hunt ideas.

AE: Shakespeare on Stage class 2-4

Hung out at SZ office.

Film as Literature class 6-10pm. Analyzed The Big Lebowski scene by scene the entire class, didn't even get through a half hour of the film.

2sDay

Rode Bike to campus.

Got to class, no one was there. Went to the computer to make sure it was the right room. It was. Confused. Found out it was cancelled after contacting some people in the class.

No class at all.

Went and bought 10 books for 2 classes. Bad idea being on my bike and hauling that all back.

Rode back home.

Went to Jitters to meet up with peoples then back home to play pool.

Read Science Fiction reading assignment. Was just the boring introduction of this anthology book discussing definitions.

REVISED: version of Comedy Show highlight reel

Here is the revised highlight video from Chet Wilds Comedy Showcase a few weeks ago at The Comedy Club in Webster, NY.

MUNDAY-

First Day of class for my Super Senior Year at RIT

Woke up late.
Drove to my Literature: Science Fiction class. A bunch of nerds in it. (including me)

Lunch.

Went to some meetings and tidied things up.

Went to Arts of Expression: Shakespeare on Stage class. The teacher is Colonel Sanders.

Went for a 5 mile run.

Biked back to school, went to the gym, went to my friends place, played Rock Band and some poker, rode my bike home in the dark. Some pretty sweet sights in the dark covered in fog lit by the moonlight.

Sunday Sunday

Cleaned my bike for a while and got it pretty spotless.

Went and saw the new Jim Jarmusch film The Limits of Control at the Dryden. As a minimalist film I feel like it should have a minimalist review. It was very interesting and different as what actually all went down. The music was sick. Beautiful Cinematography and Spanish locations.

FIXED MY BIKE! WOO WOO.

Went grocery shopping, saw a midget. always awesome.

Went and saw the British comedy In The Loop at the Little Theatre tonight. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes political satire. The film takes place right before the invasion of Iraq and it follows various government members of the United Kingdom and the United States as they bumble through their petty problems and a little thing called war. The acting and dialogue is top notch. Every line just tops the last. It's no clean affair either. The Brits in this have some of the foulest mouths I've heard in a long while, and by golly it is delightful.



Then I watched the 2006 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. It was terrible. Not scary, pretty lame, just dumb, and predictable. So why did I choose to suffer through this film? Four words. Jordana Brewster and Diora Baird. There is a god.
