Karma karma karma karma karma comedians

So I really have nothing to talk about today except my night at the Owl. The reason I went tonight was for the Funniest Person On Campus comedy show. Warren hosted, and Graeme did a set at the end (that killed) while the judges deliberated on who they thought should win. Phil competed but he won last year, so apparently his set wasn't really considered? Who knows. The person who ended up winning was someone who was doing stand-up for the first time. His set was just a description of when he lost his virginity. I tuned out after a while, but apparently he was pretty good. Warren and Graeme are competing in the Funniest Person In Saskatchewan contest tomorrow at the Applause Theatre in the Regina Inn and if you are actually reading this in time, I would suggest you go. Tickets are only 5 bucks.

The rest of the night was filled with karaoke. Graeme had to be lame and bail after the show, but the rest of us enjoyed ourselves with our shitty performances. Pictured right is mine and Phil's rendition of Kiss From A Rose by Seal. (Side note: I am officially referring to our stage act as Smith²) Joel and Kyla decided to join us on stage with their love-in. Reliable sources tell me their performance was a re-enactment of what they feel Seal was really trying to immortalize when he wrote this beautiful ballad. I still can't hear the song without thinking of Batman Forever, so I guess I just don't connect with it as much as those two hippies. Also note the spilt beer at my feet that I believe was provided by our nasal-voiced chauchy friend who is always prepared for the sun with his tear-off sleeved sweater, presumably purchased at Old Navy.

After many dreadful hours of scanning through the song list booklet, Kyla and I finally decided our song of choice for the evening was I'm Going To Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon. It was a beautiful and emotional performance, and what I would like to think a triumph for the evening. All in all I feel my vocals touched the souls of many this evening, and a good time was had by all.

I would post more pictures tonight but there's really not much from the day of importance. I'm way too tired to go through the rest of the pictures from the show, so if there's anything good, I'll post it tomorrow. It's about 3 AM right now though, and I would like to get a decent night's sleep, so I should probably end this entry here. I hope for anyone that is reading this (and I imagine the numbers will dwindle by the end of the week) that my life get's a bit more exciting so you have something to read. I might also try to get some opinions. I would hate to know you're choosing the new Chuck Klosterman book over my pretty fucking cool blog.

Peace.
