coke or pepsi?

today was and remains fairly uneventful... i woke up very early, and for some reason felt compelled to catch up on failblog... i posted a track to the old music blog that i am actually pretty happy with, and i listened to the cardinals game (we won)... called home, took a couple of walks, etc. etc.

one thing i did that was kind of fun was watch the entire series of tim heidecker stand-up youtube videos. it's a bit reminiscent of andy kaufman in that tim more or less pretends to be a horrible comedian, and his entire 'set' could be looked at as a prank on the audience. in the series of 8 videos, you see him basically present the same scraps of terrible material again and again, with slightly different delivery each time (plus some new material emerges). the dates of the videos span over the course of a year or so. in the first videos, people don't really get it, but by the end he actually has the crowd laughing quite a bit. i myself was laughing from the beginning, mostly because i've watched enough tim and eric etc. to get his humor and see what's going on in his act; i was wondering if more people begin to laugh near the end of the series because he actually does tweak the presentation an get more comfortable in the stand-up setting, or if his popularity just rose over the course of that year, so that by the end of the series more people are familiar with his humor, so that more people 'get it'. anyway, i think the videos are quite funny and encourage anyone with some time to kill to watch them.

boot camp starts tomorrow, bright and early. as for tonight, i see spinach salad in my future. okay, thanks for reading!
