Blogpoll for My Comedic Future

Okay, so I'm 90% certain I'm leaving Divine Comedy after this semester (but last time I said that I stayed for another year so here we go.) It takes more time and work than a hobby and pays less than a part-time job. So I figure I don't have time for all that.

But I still like comedy-- who do you guys think I should join: Humor U or LOL? Humor U probably has fewer rehearsals, so that would be less time, but LOL is improv and I'm way better at improv AND I'd get to hang out with the troupe (assuming the troupe is as fun and friendly as DC).

Voice in and convince me!

Is it kosher to leave one BYU comedy group and join another?

I'd probably vote for LOL, but it might be weird not being not at high profile as DC.

I think LOL is probably the way to go as well. Improv is exhilarating in a different way than sketch.

However it might be tough to leave the 700+ screaming fans of DC. What kind of audiences does LOL get? I thought I wouldn't mind the 20-50 people I get at Comedy Sportz but it really is something of a drag not to have a big crowd.

On the plus side, I've found the plural z doesn't bother me at all.

Not a lot of people--maybe like the Tanner. But I guess there are fewer people because it's less prestigious which maybe equals less work. Also, it's way more fun to play the Tanner than, say, the JSB.

I don't know--it just takes sooo much time to do DC. I was already going to quit once, but they tricked me back. Most DCers don't stick around this long.

I want to know how they tricked you back. A lollipop? A puppy? A charity gig for sick children?

What about Comedysportz?

Otherwise, I say LOL all the way. Most of "Young Women in Mediocrity" was written based on your improvs anyway.

Arithmatic of humanity

Between this (we knew him, but didn't like him, even before) and this (made what should have been happy, tragic), a bunch of my friends keep thinking, "man, humanity is sad, sad, sad." I want to restore faith in humanity for them, but how? Does it require big acts of kindness to counter-act big acts of violence and hate? Or is the quiet, well-lived life that keeps plodding along trying to to its best, enough? Today on the radio, the old-timey radio station was commercial- and pledge-free because of "a friend in North Austin" and a bunch of my friends are pitching in to buy diapers for low-income mothers.I want to do grand acts of kindness, but I don't know if I can, right now. Does that count in the balance? Is faith in humanity a series of bank transactions, deposits and withdrawals, so that acts of cruelty and callousness must be counter-acted by well-meaning patsies who have to try to buoy up humanity well enough to keep Q (or almost any alien) fr

In Defense of Stephanie Meyer.

It occurs to me that at this late stage I haven't lent my voice to the already cacophonous choruses debating the literary merits of Ms. Meyer's work. I realize that by making any sort of statement, I risk alienating good friends with strong opinions, but weighing that hazard against that of letting my friend continue in strong opinions unchecked, I have decided to go forth as originally planned. I don't think Stephanie Meyer is a bad writer. Now this isn't to say that I think her prose merits inclusion in the next Norton's anthology or that a world of Twilight would usher in the literary revolution we've been waiting for, but I've had enough of people calling her a talentless hack. Sure, maybe some lines of teenage angst strike the reader as perhaps overly melodramatic, or crudely hewn, but that doesn't make her talentless. In fact, if she's talentless, then may God bless me with the talentlessness to make the New York Times Bestseller Lists for seem
