ONE MORE TIME!!

Come down to McComas Hall on Friday night to see MSU's excellent comedy group, Runnin' with Scissors. You are certain to enjoy it. There's a chance that you will see us do something we've never done before...
What is it, you ask...
STAND UP COMEDY!!
(maybe)
(Well, probably...)

Lookie Here

Campus got owned by some serious tornadic activity today. Some determined RWS members huddled together in McComas hall and had a quick improv practice during the mayhem outside. And now I get to do a happy dance because I don't have any class tomorrow.

On Tuesday I've got to give another presentation for my voice & articulation class. I had to pick a song to select some lines from to recite from memory in one of 3 situations (whispering to a baby, delivering a eulogy, or speaking to a crowd of hundreds). I picked Peter Gabriel's "Games without Frontiers"...

Hans plays with Lottie
Lottie plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willie
Willie is happy again
Suki plays with Leo
Sasha plays with Britt
Adolph builds a bonfire
Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes
By the seasdie
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons
In the jungle
Its a knockout
If looks could kill
They probably will
Games without frontiers
War without tears

UPDATE: This just in... I've finally beaten Caitlin at progressive rummy! Now I am the champion. Caitlin must now go into card-game exile...

Sawing Blogs

The past few weeks have seen me trying to get Blackfriars reorganized, with the help of the good ole MSU theatre folks. We had our initial meeting today and also did some recruitment for RWS. I was glad to finally get some of the people I've been talking to a chance to come play at practice with us.

Hopefully my article about Bulldog Bash will make it into the Reflector tomorrow. The biggest chunk of info I got wasn't about the bash at all. Next semester, the SA is planning to have a "Battle of the Local Bands." That sounds more interesting to me. I also think that my next film to be reviewed is going to be "Corpse Bride" this Friday or most likely Saturday.

Once October rolls around, it's time to start looking towards throwing a sweet-o Halloween party.

RWS

It's almost that time again!

PANIC!!!

As I'm sure everyone is painfully aware, the Gulf Coast & New Orleans were struck by Hurricane Katrina this past week. Things in those areas will probably never be quite the same, it shall take years to rebuild in some cases. However, in Starkville you would think that the situation is just as dire looking at some people's reactions. The gas pumps have been crowded with lines of people afraid that the city will run out of gas. Well, news to those people: we weren't running out of gas, but we are now thanks to your panic-induced consumerism. I just got back from the grocery store where throngs of folks are crowded in there filling their shopping carts with everything that they can get their hands on. You may think that these are perhaps refuges or people looking to donate items. I'm afraid not. People are now worried that there will be a food shortage. Yes. That's right. There are people here that think STARKVILLE, MISSISSIPPI is about to run out of food. That trucks will not be able to deliver more supplies to the grocery stores. How the Hell can anyone believe this garbage? C'mon Starkville citizens & students, wise up.

Oh, in better news... Kroger has put up their beer fridges & stocked them. Unfortunately it's Sunday so you can't buy it. Apparently while some Blue Laws are not okay, some still are... Weird.
