So, this will mark my 3rd post in nearly as many days (highly unusual for me, right?)
Today was a pretty fun day - I visited my old high school and saw a bunch of my favorite teachers. It's weird - now that I'm graduated from there, they actually are kind of... cool. Blasphemy, right? I also got a chance to work out with my old wrestling team... I'm in much better shape now than I was then (and Coach pointed that out.) (Sorry Coach.)
After, I went to Starbucks with my girlfriend, and called my buddy Andrew (who recently began work as a barista in Blacksburg) to find out what I should get. He told me either to get a Peppermint Mocha, or a Caramel Brule Latte. Being indecisive as I was, I got both... in the same cup. Excellent drink.
In the meantime, watch this. It restored my faith and humanity, and was really touching. No, it's not supposed to be cute. It's supposed to warm your heart. Enjoy.

Harry Potter... as a Teen Comedy.
Hey everybody!
Classes for next semester have been posted. For the first time ever, I'll finally have a class with my lovely leading lady, Mary. (VT Theatre - can you guess what it is?)
So it's official - people are throwing VT around as a possible national championship contender in the BCS. This is cool. Hope we live up to our hype...
By the way... Words With Friends is very addicting. I need to go do something to get away from it... except it's on my phone, which I can't very well leave behind, can I? oops. Maybe I should go see a movie. Anyone have any good suggestions? Leave a comment below!
But seriously, the reason you clicked here was to see Harry Potter as a teen comedy. This is genius.

The Layover
Hey everyone!
So, Thanksgiving break is upon us. Next weekend Virginia Tech and UVA play for the Coastal Division title, the opportunity to play in the ACC Championship, and a shot at the Orange Bowl.
No big deal, right?
After a long November, it's time to lay back, relax, and eat some turkey. Oh, and memorize lines for VT's Theatre Showcase. And get props for Suburbia. So, essentially, let's get going again.
But seeing my folks again is fantastic. They really support me.
Normally, this is part where I drop a cool/cute/fun/lame video for your viewing pleasure. Instead, I give you 21 free songs, courtesy of Mike Posner.

Did That Rhino Just Order A Drink?
Hey everyone!
Well, auditions for next semester's VT Theatre Department plays Servant of Two Masters and La Ronde are coming up. I'm excited! Being in either show would be great experience.
Also, this week was a pretty bad shakeup in College Football. Clemson was almost beaten, Boise State was beaten, and Stanford was beaten badly... all of which mean the Hokies profit, as we beat Georgia Tech on Thursday! GO HOKIES!
This Thursday is my last Thursday night game as a student here at VT... which is ironic because it's also my first, as I've had a show each of the past times we had a Thursday night game. Needless to say, I'm excited.
I found this clip while surfing the net today - it brought some smiles to my face.

Even The Cookie Monster Can Sing
Hard to believe this semester has flown by so quickly. Let's see - what's new?
Twelfth Night has 4 more shows... tonight, two tomorrow, and a Sunday Matinee. GO SEE IT! Also, VT's Glass Menagerie has been cast - Congratulations to everyone in that cast! I'm positive it will be a great show.
I'm working on a project of my own for next semester - look for updates on that to come.
Also, Suburbia (another show I'm working on) has a Kickstarter that you guys should check out. We're trying to raise funds to make this as great a show as possible (with this cast and crew, under the direction of Ryan Hunt and the helm of B Cast Entertainment, it's already looking phenomenal). If you could pledge just a few bucks to the cause, it would help us out a lot!
Now, I know Tom Waits has a unique style of singing - I never really understood where it came from, or how he didn't tear his throat apart with it. But apparently the Cookie Monster can cover him:

Party In The U.S.A.
Hey everyone!
It's been a crazy week and a half since I last updated. Miss me? Probably not. Hope so, though.
Here at VT Theatre we just had auditions for Glass Menagerie - break legs to all those who auditioned! I think it's going to be great (directed by Bob McGrath). Meanwhile, VT's Twelfth Night is currently running, and it such a fantastic show. Come see it! I'll probably be there - I plan on going multiple times.
This year really has been a great year for theatre here at VT. Our shows thus far ('This,' 'Almost, Maine,' and 'Twelfth Night') have all been home runs. I expect that B Cast entertainment's Suburbia will be another hit show (it goes up in December).
Sometimes work can get very exhausting. This is what happens when it does:
