Comedian of the Week 4

Baron Vaugh

Here's a comedian I'm very excited about. I think he gets race comedy down exactly right. Smart and funny. And he's got the execution down packed, everyone I've shown this clip to said they were hovering on every work. Easily one of my favorites, but I was skeptical about posting him as the YouTube clip could not be embedded into my blog (what's up College Humor? Why you gotta be a dick?). Either way, you can find him here or by clicking on the picture above.

Alison Jutzi

Sandals

Good Enough

Social Utility

Some Canadian content this week! Al was razzing me for my last comedian calling it 'too easy' since Demetri Martin is famous now. Psh, it doesn't say indie comedian of the week, yeesh. But to shut him up, here's a gem from Toronto. While she's primarily an actress, her comedy folk is solid and 'Sandals' and 'Social Utility' are both songs I wish I had written instead, and the background voice in 'Good Enough' is comic gold. Did I pick her because she's pretty? Didn't hurt, but she can write a damn good tune.

Its funny things you run into at 3 in the morning while surfing CBC 3's website.

Horror Games in Georgia Straight

I'm quoted in Vancouver's free newspaper (and the only thing I read when I'm back home) the Georgia Straight. Its a short quote, but its nice to be talking about video games again. I'm really glad he chose this line, I found myself ramblinga lot when I was talking to the writer and I'm glad he didn't quote one of my stupider ideas.

Futile Self-Promotion

So I'm gearing up to apply to some co-op jobs for my program and I found a perfect position doing Web 2.0 work for the School of Public Service. Perfect! I blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc. So I decided to put together a website to showcase my savvy internet ways (www.robertparungao.com).

Its pretty cut and dry but hey, it does the job and I kinda like having a professional website just so I can control the first thing that pops up when someone Google's me. Sadly, I go to apply for the job and its been mysteriously pulled of the co-op boards. Of course. Now I'm stuck with a corny 'about me' website and the lingering question of where I'm going to be in January. A few other jobs have caught my eye and there's about a 90% chance I'll be moving cities once again. Primary contenders are Ottawa and Iquluit. Awesome.
