This past week has been the shit. And I mean the good kind of shit. Muse was AMAZING. Seriously, one of the best concerts I've ever seen in my life. It's gonna take a lot to top their performance. Not only are they amazing musicians, but their show is an absolute spectacle. The lights and set fit the songs perfectly; you could tell that a lot of thought was put into this show and that they tried to add as much to the music as possible. And boy, did it work. It also helped that they played all my favorite old songs. When I heard the first chords of "Knights of Cydonia," I melted into a puddle on the floor. I could also totally see Matt Bellamy's face the WHOLE TIME since I was sitting close enough to the stage, and I died pretty much every time he sang falsetto or began wailing on his guitar. Oh my god.
Anyway, since I'm already not studying, I have some exciting news. Are you sitting down? Do you have a paper bag in case of hyperventilation? Okay. So the day after I saw Muse, one of my favorite comedians, a hilarious Canuk by the name of Colin Mochrie, tweeted something that almost sent the world spinning off it's axis.
WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY IS COMING BACK. I REPEAT, ONE OF THE GEATEST SHOWS OF ALL TIME IS COMING BACK.
In case you weren't alive in the 90's or have no idea what I'm talking about, go on Youtube and look up an episode. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's probably one of the funniest shows I've ever seen, and the best part is it's completely made up. Four performers (the regulars are Colin, Wayne Brady, and Ryan Stiles) play silly games in which they are given suggestions by the audience and cards they've never seen before. They then must make up scenes based on those suggestions, all on the spot. These guys are brilliant; they are the best improvers out there. No show makes me laugh as hard as Whose Line.
Sadly, it was cancelled back in 2005 and reruns only ran until 2007. It's been off the air for almost 6 years, so that's why it's so exciting that they're going to resurrect it. It was such a memorable part of my childhood and my college years. Looking back, I find it amusing that I enjoyed it so much at a young age. Most of the jokes that were made were sexual, and I obviously didn't understand them when I was younger. Nevertheless, I specifically remember getting excited when a rerun came on late at night.
Now that I'm older, I've seen every single episode. And now that I get the jokes, I enjoy the show even more. I'm really excited for the resurrection and I hope it's as good as the original. It helps that Wayne, Ryan, and Colin have all agreed to come back for the show. I don't know what I'd do if the show didn't include one of the original guys. It would just feel wrong.
Anyway, pardon the fangirling that just occurred. People in real life would totally judge if I reacted this way, so instead I truly reveal the extent to which I freaked out over a TV show on the internet. The internet understands me.
Going to go "study" now. Keep it real, ladies and gents.
