April 3rd - I liked the board game better

It's 11:35 PM and I have to go to work in like 25 minutes so I'll try to make this quick.

Yesterday the entire Sophmore class went to the Fine Arts Center at Umass to see a three hour production of Shakespeare's Othello. It felt like the longest-ass thing I've ever had to sit through, and I didn't even watch the second half. There were mainly two groups. Kids honestly interested in Shakespeare and Kids who didn't really want to be there. I was a part of the latter half. Me and Kyle got seats with Kenny, this crazy fucking kid always causing trouble who we love. For the first half of the show, Kenny managed to rally our section of the audience into performing various juvinile antics, like doing the wave, or getting up and dancing during the scene changes. I honestly thought it was brilliant. Mass disobediance always is. During intermission I went to the lobby, bought a fucking $1.50 cookie which was too salty, and then went to the bathroom and played "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga" for the next hour and a half. After the show I learned that most of the kids I had been sitting with got detentions, and that the entire school was outraged at being publicly humiliated by us. It's hard to nod your head and pretend to be outraged when you were right there, enjoying every minute of it. Aparently we weren't the only ones as some other kids were playing hot potato with a ringing cell phone, and Luis and his crew ordered Domino's Pizza from my dad's store and gave the service and excellent review which makes me smile. Some teacher's and students are planning on writing a letter of apology to the troupe, becuase that's what our school does. If they pass that letter around for kids to sign I'm going to write "I fucking hated your play" just because I can. I'd comment on Shakespeare's cultural revelvance but I really don't care. I'm actually kind of proud that we managed to make our entire school look bad with our shenanigans. Fuck those South Amherst kids, we're tougher than they are. The fact that sitting in a bathroom and playing Mario was more entertaining than sitting through a brilliant play that has withstood the test of time speaks to something. Be it my general lack of respect or the fact that maybe the play isn't really relevent in this day and age. I heard I missed a hilarious strangling in Act II. I almost wish I cared.

People seem to like my acting in the various episodes of the Andy & Eddy show well enough. Two kids have told me I was funny recently. Ryan Hummel, who is a fucking guitar god, told me he loved the skit with me and Eddy talking in the car, and some girl was babbling incomprehensibly but I think she liked Fat & Fat, this cop drama we did about two fat cops that I came up with and Eddy took credit for. Acting class is still confusing and I'm not really sure if I've learned anything yet but at least the class isn't a chore like fucking Computer Science was.

Eddy thinks Ryan Hummel wants to bang his sister Rosie. I don't disagree with him.

We got report cards today, and I'd scan mine if my scanner wasn't broken. I made honor roll and barely squeezed out a B- in Computer Science, just like I did with Basic Programming the year before. I suck at programming, but yet I keep signing up for the classes I keep thinking maybe someday it won't suck so much. I wish I had a clever saying for this situation, like "A fool and his classes are often something something." Unfortunately I don't. Seems these days, I never do.

Oh, and I'm getting fucking Steel Battalion used but mint for $100. w00t.
