Manzai is the name for the comedian duo’s that you find in Japan. There tend to be a lot in Osaka, but they’re pretty much everywhere and anywhere. Common acts include slapsticks, making weird noises, and a punch line (usually resulting in one person getting hit with the slapstick) to wrap things up. Acts can be planned ahead of time or made up on the spot which is pretty similar to American comedians, and depending on the teams popularity they usually perform anywhere from the street to the stage.
If you and your friends want to become your own Manzai team then you can go here.
Not to long ago I went to an event at the Provo, Utah mall called “First Night Provo 2008.” It wasn’t anything great, just a bunch of bratty, smelly children running around doing all these kid activities, and giving me a headache. However, one stage set up called “Will-it-Blend” did catch my eye. Now any internet guru should know what Will-it-Blend is and its mastermind Tom Dickson, but it’s just something you’ve watched over the internet, right? Well lucky old me actually got to see Tom doing what he does best, blending stuff! He had a whole bunch of different things to blend including: marbles, food, glass, and even peoples cell phones from the audience (my cousin and I think that was set up). Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera at the time to take pictures, but I’m sure you can all use your imaginations. Either way it was awesome. Now my life is complete…thanks Tom Dickson!
Hello people! This is my first post on this web blog. Dur! Well anyways, web blogs are a very popular thing now-a-days, and I thought what a better way to keep my family up to date on my life as I attend college. This way they can check up on me anytime they want and not have to bother with calls or waiting for me to show up on AIM. That is, of course, that I keep up with it. Well with this being my first post I thought I would share a little bit of blog-ness with you guys.
As you know, I love computers
Apple has just announced it’s new MacBook Air. Being a PC person for the moment, I don’t know much about Macs but this thing looks amazing. Too bad it costs over 3,000 for the high end model.
