so i've taken a few hiatuses from this blog and every time i come back i say something like 'so it's been a while since i've posted' and then give some stupid update trying to recap everything that's happened since i posted last. well, i'm a graduate student now, so i'm gonna up my standards and write a better 'first post in 9 months' post and just pretend like i never quit writing. you can help by leaving comments that have nothing to do with the fact that i haven't written in this thing in forever. comments like 'glad you're writing again' or 'hey james, it's good to see you back on the blog train' are highly discouraged. in fact, you're gonna get negative points if you do such a thing. you've been warned.
so this weekend is homecoming weekend at IU and let me tell ya, it's been a special one. last night the girl (colin) and i went to this sweet irish pub called 'the irish lion' and drank the beers with some of the cooler undergrad trombone students here. i had two half yards of newcastle, an irish car bomb, and two bowls of coddle. it was amazing. when i got home i ate a cookie and passed out watching the new episode of the office. i hope they go back to making fun of dwight soon instead of making us feel sorry for him.
anyways, after a rehearsal this morning, i'm back at the apartment layin on the couch with all the windows in the apartment open because it was so amazing outside doin' random crap on my laptop when i hear this dude outside yelling. i look out and he's standing just across the street screaming into his cell phone. i quickly alerted colin, who instinctively grabbed his camera. the rest can be seen here.
warning: if profane langauge offends you, or you are in a place that profane langauge shouldn't be heard, don't press the play button. otherwise, enjoy the hilarity.
good stuff huh? i gotta be honest, it's a pretty standard occurrence down here to see people being so awesome at life. i guess maybe i feel sorry for him just a little bit, but c'mon man, if you've got problems, maybe the best place to solve them isn't outside the apartment of colin and james.
as i write about all the excellence down here i can hear cars racing around outside. so many winners.
yeah, so there ya have it. another post to the ol' blog. i'd tell you that i plan to write more often but that would mean admitting that i haven't written in a long time which totally goes against what i talked about earlier.
so tomorrow = 3 rehearsals and a concert. thank you sunday, for being just another busy day in my week. you rule. i do get to play brahms 2 and la gazza ladra though. that'll be fun. guess i should think about gettin' some sleep, though.
thanks for reading.
love,
james

It's funny how some people will go through the hassle of providing most of the proper elements of sentence structure: periods, commas, apostrophes, etc...but fall short with something as simple as capitalization.
You, sir, are one of those people.
That being said, great video. Even though you don't capitalize, you sure capitalized on that man's misfortunes. Capital, sir, capital.
Your film editing rocks. My camera work would've been much better if I'd realized we were gonna blog it. I'll try to get some crazy vids from the bone dinner and we can edit them, too.
I was thinking, the middle of the girlfriend part gets a little long, but totally redeems itself when the approaching pedestrian has to walk in the street. Classic.
I like how anyone else probably would have just yelled out the window right away, but you guys have the presence of mind to film for 5 minutes before you decide to yell out the window. Excellent.
I also liked the part where the spider on the window screen (in the window?) made an appearance. Very classy as well.
However, thanks to your amazing editing, my very favorite part was the slow motion bottle throw. Thank you James. For making my Monday, between 6:30 and 7am, hilarious. I suppose I could go thank Colio too, but I won't.
Have a great week! :)
