Tempus Fugit

IT’S ABOUT TIME.

Forgive me, dear readers. Lately, I have been so swamped with ungodly amounts of work, travel, and general cavorting with the natives that I have neglected this poor, little study ablog of mine. Stay tuned though; my workload has just lightened up a bit, so I plan on updating this Nasty Larry later this evening. In the meantime, please enjoy this somewhat irrelevant and wholly irreverent.

A little late, perhaps, but still pertinent. Please do the world a favor and listen to the Institute.

A Lesson In History

For those of you who don’t know, I really like sketch comedy. So much so, that I am a proud member of two different, extremely funny groups (that’s not an opinion, by the way. It’s a fact). I’ll admit it: I was a bit worried about The Institute this semester. Not that I don’t have complete faith in Luke and the rest of the cast, but six members of your approximately nine person cast go abroad for a semester it’s easy to find cause for worry. As I knew they would, they blew me out of the water with their new slew of videos.

This one, for example — “The History of The Institute” — is a real treat for those who have been with us since we began three semesters ago. Self-parody and spot-on editing make for a heady draught of comedic ambrosia. Sure, it’s a bit self-indulgent, but this is the house that I helped build and I’m glad to see it’s still standing tall. Way to go, guys, way to go.
