Award Nominated Screen Writer?

So it turns out I got nominated for a Cecil (the Chapman equivalent of an Oscar) for writing a sketch for the variety show, Nightcap. The sketch was subtly titled, "My Wife Had Sex with a Superhero" and it's about a wife cheating on her husband with her husband's favorite superhero, Insanely Awesome Man. And the twist, you ask? The husband is actually the arch nemesis, the Dastardly Devastator! Insanely Awesome Man then must use Unobtainium to counteract the poison he was given so that he can subdue the Dastardly Devastator with his super insanely awesome power to freeze people so he can freeze his nemesis and have sex with his wife one more time while he's frozen watching. The sketch ends with the line, "INSANELY AWESOME BONER... ASSEMBLE!"

This 8 page script got me nominated for an award. I love film school.

What's on My Mind vol. 1

I've realized that when Facebook asks me what's on my mind, I make a status about it. I also realized that I have dry spells of things on my mind and sometimes I have hellacious influxes. Today is one of those super productive thought days; one in which if I posted a status for each thought on my mind, I feel like it would make me appear like a prick. So, here's what's on my mind:

- Assuming makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me." But infatuation can't be spelled without "u in fat"
- If Chuck Norris were a hipster, he'd be way too cool for all the jokes about him, but not his jolly lumberjack outfit
- I love Taylor Hawkins (drummer from Foo Fighters), but his new band is so douchey for two reasons. 1) He is the drummer and the lead singer and 2) the band is called "Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders," basically saying a hearty little fuck you to his band members
- If I work at a few restaurants over the summer, would it be possible to wait on a person for each meal?
- Although Taylor Hawkins' band is pretty douchey, they sound really good so far!
- My car seems like the epitome of a transformer in disguise
- I just had a heartache flashback from eating my first KFC Double Down yesterday (Two pieces of fried chicken act as bread for a bacon and cheese sandwich)
- It is a 1 : 8,192 chance to run into a Pokémon that is colored differently than the normal color, and that seems odd compared to people naturally being so radically different from one another
- Hell Yeah Picture Lock!
