A random development...

For the past three days of class I have been staring intently at my professor because he looks so familiar to me! Today I finally figured out why he looks so familiar. He so closely resembles Dwight Schrute; except he's an older version.
Today I also had my parents and my little brother Kyle over for dinner at my apartment. It was very nice and a wonderful change of pace to cook for them in my place. Kyle wanted to watch youtube videos and my dad got it set up on my computer for him. I walked by to see what he was watching and it was these weird Lego videos with people dubbing in voices for the little Lego characters. This is the video.

How in the world did it get almost three million views? I really do love youtube though. For the past few days I have been hanging out with two of my best friends. Sara who was home for a short time from college up in North Dakota and Josalyn who goes to school right in the city I currently reside in. I love them so much; they are two of the most interesting and enjoyable people to be around. One day this week we went to Panera and I brought my laptop because they have free wi-fi. Sara always knows these good youtube videos and Josalyn had a few to share as well. I chuckle just thinking of us three sitting in Panera watching ridiculous videos on youtube. Sara recommended these sock puppet shows which do parodies of various movies. They have quite an array of parodies; everything from Juno to The Reader. One of the reasons Kyle likes watching Lego stuff is because he's extremely obsessed with a video game he got for Christmas which is a Lego Indiana Jones video game. He apparently plays it constantly. When I was home for a bit last week I attempted playing it with him, but gosh it's hard! Anyways here's a sock puppet parody of the Indiana Jones trilogy!

Josalyn showed us a video of this guy who records himself singing various parts. He is a very good singer.
This reminds me of something else exciting that occurred while I was with Sara and Josalyn. Us three went to this really yummy, organic, super chill restaurant in Milwaukee called Beans & Barley. While we were ordering Josalyn noticed a man walking in and freaked out a little. I had no idea who he was but Josalyn said he was pretty much famous at one point and had been married to Halle Berry. His name is Eric Benet and he's a singer and was in the movie Glitter. Josalyn was trying to think of a way to get a picture with him the entire time we were eating. I was just nervous about the whole thing. After we paid I went to the bathroom and when I came out low and behold Sara and Josalyn were talking to him! I was very excited for Josalyn and it was so fun to see her so thrilled! Good things always happen when I hang out with those two :)
