Today marks the day of Cam's last official in-class review of his comedy blog. I'm imagining him standing in a darkened room, mini-spotlights on himself and a robed and hooded tribunal of judges. Frantically he attempts to justify unforgivable excesses, shameful shortcomings, and another pluralized adjective noun combination. The tribunal is having none of it, their stern indifference reduces all arguments to naught. In desperation he lashes out against the others who stand on trial, hoping that by exposing the atrocities of others he can make his own crimes seem less severe. With only seconds left before judgement is handed down he delivers a spot-on Demetri Martin visual gag: "I wonder how good the spotlight guy is..." he jigs left, fakes right, runs a few steps across the stage with a dear in the headlights expression then settles back to a relaxed posture and expression, "Pretty good," he nods in approval. Unfortunately only I get the joke because Viacom has blocked the video from appearing on youtube. Alas.
And so this chapter draws to a close. In the unlikely event that Cam's blog survives the end of his blogging class I suppose I'll have no choice but to continue as well, but I really don't expect that to be a problem.
Maybe I can finally move on to an earnest diary style blog. I'll post pictures of my cat and quote pop-punk bands that really get what I'm going through.
