3 new pictures on the photoblog from Dramat's Summer and Smoke!

In other news, Bulldog days was a HUGE success, the VQ knocked um dead with all our antics. However it was a REALLY long two days with all the advertising and performing I did between the VQ and YDC. I hosted three pre-prosh myself who all seemed very excited to be going to Yale. The weather however was terrible. It rained for three days, but other than that it's been 70 and sunny the past two weeks.

Tonight we did the YDC's 24 hour theater festival. At 8 last night, a bunch of writers started writing plays, and at 8 tonight we performed for an hour. It's a really fun event that's just starting to grow. That's jsut another example of those cool Yale things that go on every day here.

Finally, the semester's wrapping up now. Just finishing my last Stats problem set and a german skit. After that it's one CS program and finals and I'm home free, singin Sweet Home Alabama, All Summer Long...

Well I suppose it's not exactly a paradox, but I love that word. Anyways, being a tech-nerd, I want to take a look at some of my favorite ads from HP, Apple, and AirTran. Pros and Cons, and looking at the principles behind them. Read more to get started watching some videos!

This is something that now needs to be brought up and thought about. This article is for everyone who's ever watched Dollhouse, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or read the New York Times (front page) today. What do all of these have in common? Read on...

Marathon was fantastic, I really had a great time this weekend. Friday night was incredible and included the Freshman Olympics opening ceremonies, which was basically a small riot on Old Campus (Peaceful), but with lots of college pride (Remember that's Silliman for me, Yale is my University, there's a distinction here!)

As for Saturday, I wokeup, performed my first act as...OH WAIT. That's right I didn't write on here that I am the new Business Manager of the VQ! How awesome is that? Name on the door and everything. But anyways, I got the credit card and got bagels with the old one. Then we performed for 12-hours, and I bought the VQ pizza and we went to bed. Sounds boring, but it was awesome. Tons of VQ Allumni came back to see us, so I met them. Also, many of my friends stopped by to watch over the course of the day. Finally, I used photos from the event for a through the lens in the YDN. No virtual copies of that, but maybe I'll post a marathon picture or two on the blog later. Perhaps, my favorite scene (of mine) from Marathon was one in which I died by being "drawn and quartered" which for the VQ means someone was drawing my portrait on top of a building, they threw me a quarter for being good but it fell off the roof and I had to chase it. That's being "Drawn and Quartered"!

I'm working on a more topical post for the blog as well, so look for that. Off to call my pre-frosh now, bulldog days is approaching fast!!! This week is going to be some catchup work as well as preparations for Romance, the play we're doing. Till later...

Well it's been awhile (2 weeks) since I gave a good update on my life. It's been nice to get back to school after Spring Break, although the first week back was a LOT of work. Things seemed to have settled into their normal rhythm now.

Romance is coming along well. I went to another rehearsal today to check it out and was very impressed! On a related note, I recently added ticketing to the YDC site. Meaning you can now get tickets for Yale shows at http://www.yaledramacoalition.org/reserve

Of course if you just want to read about our show you can do http://www.yaledramacoalition.org/romance. For those of you smart ones, /reserve/romance also work I picked up a new skill as evidence by my last post. Now I can do cool links for websites. Meaning that although those links I gave you work, the page your actually viewing is view_show.php?show_id=31 or something messy. That's called mod_rewrite, and I talked about my fun with it in the last post.

Theater aside, I've been busy doing some photos as well. I have officially photographed the NCAA Hockey Tournament (although we lost), in addition, my editors have been giving me some more chances to play around with flashes. This photo: (http://yaledailynews.com/photos/view/12768) was today's Scene cover...think it looks odd there? Imagine it as an entire newspaper page. Not the best thing I've done, but you gotta start somewhere. This was entirely lit by two flashes. Now that I see it online, it looks like they moved his hand closer so it worked

More photo news, theres two new photos which were also cool graphic elements (theater one) and front page (couple) photos. So use the link at the top of the page to check those out.

FINALLY, tomorrow is Marathon. No not a race, I'm too lazy for that. Rather the VQ will be doing improv for 12 hours straight on cross-campus. Noon to Midnight. It's pretty intense, but I'm greatly looking forward to it. If I had an Iphone and Twitter, I would give you a play-by-play. Unfortunately I don't, so you'll have to get the low-down after (OR you could just come see us!)

That's the last two weeks. Only three more weeks till classes are over...we're gonna make it!
