Random good news!

I woke up this morning to an email informing me that my and Brian's sketch 'Herpex' won the Seattle Sketchfest's Video contest. 

I had completely forgotten that we'd entered. 

My wallet is now 75 dollars heavier.

My refrigerator should prepare itself for 75 dollars worth of chocolate milk.

p.s. you can find out more info and see an incredibly goofy still frame of me here

well, Amsterdam is just flat out awesome

For about 36 reasons...

Reasons 1 - 25 have to do with how many awesome things are legal there.

Reason 26 is how friggin' beautiful the place is.

Reason 27 is Stroop Waffles.

Reason 28 is that you can bike everywhere.

Reasons 29-35 concern how hilarious the Dutch language is.

And finally, reason 36, easily the most important reason behind Amsterdam's awesome-ness is as follows...

Reason 36.  ASIAN NIGHT

I have absolutely no idea what 'Asian Night' is, but seeing the signs advertising all over Amsterdam gave me more joy than words can describe.

Amsterdam = Awesome

Goddamn I Wish I Was Famous Right Now

So that I could destroy the company CheapoAir.com

I'm not going to go into the specific details of how they screwed me over, all that matters right now is that they did and I'm livid.

 

I have never written a complaint letter before in my life. Tonight I spent an hour and a half writing one. Multiple drafts were revised, edited and filled to the brim with exclamation points and capital letters until I was satisfied that it would fully convey my rage. 

I'm sure that they will respond with a standard form letter.

I'm also sure that I will respond to that form letter with curse words and an attached photo of poop. The only reason I didn't do that this time was in the hopes that they might actually un-screw me over. 

I'm in Brian's apartment right now talking loudly about my new movie script that is essentially a 90 minute long shot of me screaming at the camera horrible things about Cheapoair.com and how nobody should ever do business with them. 

Brian's telling me to calm down.

I probably will, but part of me hopes that I won't. 

Part of me hopes that I never ever calm down about this, get famous, and can actually put How Dare You CheapoAir.com? up on the silver screen.

I'm also giving thought to recording an album.

P.S. read about a much funnier blog writer's encounter with airline bullshit here

Holy Hell!

Have you ever, while intoxicated, done ridiculous things solely to entertain your sober self the next morning?

I have.

I have left myself 15 minute long voicemails.

I have written made up words on the inside of my thigh.

I have hidden my wallet in a popsicle box inside my refrigerator.

Last night though, DrunkNick really outdid himself.

DrunkNick, at approximately 3:15am, purchased a non-refundable roundtrip airline ticket to Amsterdam. 

I woke up this morning to an email receipt informing me of this. 

Apparently, my flight leaves Thursday.

More on this to come.

love,

a frighteningly sober nicholas

a fucking prick.
