School, cake, & competitive eating...

... is exactly what will go in this post.

January 26th marks my first spring semester in college, and I'm excited! Sad, you may say, and it's true. However, for the past month or so I have literally done nothing. Waking up at 1PM and sitting on the couch and watching TV all day. I mean who wants to do that for a month (give me a week in school and I'll be complaining again.)? So I'm glad to be back at school.

My schedule is as follows:
Mondays, Wednesdays &, Fridays.

• English 114, 10AM-10:50AM. I'm not the biggest fan of English class, but I do enjoy writing essays with interesting topic (sans book reports). Although give me a book, and I'll most likely not read it. Good thing the book I got seems to be more of a text book.
• History of Asian Americans, 12PM-12:50PM. Now, this class comes with a chapter book. No fun, but I choose this over History post reconstruction, wouldn't you?

• Algebra 2, 1PM-1:50PM. Don't judge me, I realize that I'm in college taking algebra 2, but if you were taking a test to see what math class you would fall into on a Saturday at 9AM and had the choice to leave when you were done, you would rush through it too.

Tuesdays & Thursdays

• Communications, 8AM-9:25AM. Jesus Christ, two things I hate in an hour and a half: being awake at 8AM and public speaking. Just kill me now, alright?
• Journalism & Mass Media, 2PM-3:30PM. Five hour break inbetween classes. How very exciting for me, but this class sounds fun. Writing and media, my two favorite things combined, wahoo!

Now I'm excited for school and all, but what's more exciting than food? Especially when it looks badass and is being consumed in mass portions. Right, RIGHT?! Which brings me to my two favorite shows at the moment: Ace of Cakes and Man V. Food.

(Alright, the rest of my post will be in italics, damn blogspot sometimes, seriously.)
If you don't like Ace of Cakes, then you're just weird. I recently found out their cakes cost a minimum of 1000 dollars, but the creativity with their cakes is flawless and they can pretty much do anything you ask. So I'll take an Alkaline Trio heart/skull multi colored patterned cake with three teirs, thank you very much. Plus, Chef Duff is hilarious cause he's kind of a dork and quotes movies like I do.

My love for Man V. Food knows no bounds. I don't know why I enjoy this competitive eating so much, and it can be pretty disgusting to watch a guy eat a burger with eight patties, but I got to say, this show makes me hunger for all large foods. Jumbo ice cream sundaes, a giant steak (he ate a 72 oz. steak in 29 minutes, that's just unhealthy.), or some buffalo wings (to not as a spicier extent though). And I'll admit that this Adam Richman fellow can be rather cheesy, especially with the Q&A's following his latest food conquest, but why should that matter when the food looks delicious, albeit most of the time rather unhealthy.

Got slapped by Marshall so hard he died...

Review: Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series

Ahhh, the joys of Freaks and Geeks, the show that was cancelled before it's prime (as many other shows have). Why did I become a fan of this show? It was the summer of 2008 and I had just jumped on the Judd Appatow bandwagon. I already loved Superbad and was completely excited for Pineapple Express. Shortly after my viewing of Pineapple Express, I was in a James Franco craze (I tend to be in some 'insert actor name here' craze after every movie I watch.), on the Alkaline Trio Fan Club that I am a part of, I was reccomended Freaks and Geeks due to my James Franco/Judd Appatow addiction.

I watched the show for the first time online and instantly loved it. It's realistic portrayal of high school is amazing, which is odd because it takes place in 1980 and I wouldn't be born for another ten years. It's subtle humor which is definitely shines through the talent of Martin Starr as Bill Haverchuck and Seth Rogen as Ken Miller. Although, the rest of the cast is just as amazing. I can relate to Linda Cardellini as Lindsey Weir as being a nerd and trying to rebel, Jason Segel as Nick Andopolis is just adorable, yet pretty creepy, (hey, I'm probably the only one who thought it was sweet when he went to Lindsey's house in the middle of the night to tell her he wanted to see her face.) and who doesn't love James Franco? He's yummy. It's a great ensemble cast and everyone portrays their character amazingly. Also, Freaks and Geeks could have easily fallen into the typical cliche show about high school, but the show had new and fresh storylines every week. The morals of each episode were also not drawn out in the typical way. It's a shame it was cancelled, probably because it was too smart for it's own good.

As for the DVD package, it's pretty amazing as well. twenty-nine commentaries for eighteen episodes from cast members, the executive producers, fans of the show, etc. You get to hear many different perspectives on the show. They were fantastic commentaries and rather hilarious too. The special features are also amazing; seeing the auditions and deleted scenes were great. Very much worth th 56.99 that I spent for the boxset.

The actual show: 8.9/10
Special Features: 9/10
Packaging: 8/10
