So I’ve started playing Magic recently, but one of the cards I got made me giggle.
I’m pretty sure thats not her soul thats bleeding amirite? boom.
I think some of my ole creative instincts are coming back to me. I’ve missed them dearly.
Over the weekend I caught part of a documentary on comedy during the turn of the century. specifically the history of vaudville. It was fascinating. Mostly because its a form of comedy that I still enjoy even though its dead and buried now. Its probably something I would pick up at somepoint if I can find it for sale because it was a subject I am infinitely facsinated by. I mean I couldn’t help but get into comics. One day I hope to do an indepth study on the history of comedy. Its right up on the list of things that I would sit down and do, because its something I want to see done bad enough. wikipedia’s entry on the history of comedy is only one paragraph in the larger entry of comedy. sad.
I think my favorite moment in the documentary, was a clip from an old sketch comedy from the very early days of television. In it two men, dressed as women, discuss how one of the ladies husband was buying them a new 10″ TV and how it was going to be just like being there. I believe that may just be the perfect clip to sum up the way todays culture works. I’ve seen the joke done to death in the other direction, but some how seeing it so far in the past makes it work better in my opinion. its just more absurd.
