I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

Ladies like improv stilts, and i think men like improv giant cocks. but one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. you get to play it all when you improvise.

I think in the inception and creation of the characters, improv was the most important part for me, because i wanted to feel at home in those characters. i wanted to feel like i could commit to them. and so much of improv is saying yes and committing, so i think that's where the improv came in. even if i'm saying yes to the x across the room from me, or the tennis ball on a stick, i have to stay alive.

I went to oberlin college, and they don't have a film major, but they do have what's called an individual major, where you can sort of pitch to a committee your own course study, and if they approve it, you have essentially just designed your own major. so oberlin doesn't have a film major; they do have a film minor... and then my spring semester of my junior year, i went off to nyu film school as a visiting student - they have a program for kids from other schools to come in for a semester.

No one, in the world's whole history, ever attempted to substantiate a truth by a miracle. truth scorns the assistance of miracle. nothing but falsehood ever attested itself by signs and wonders. no miracle ever was performed, and no sane man ever thought he had performed one, and until one is performed, there can be no evidence of the existence of any power superior to, and independent of nature.

At a time when the average student is graduating from a four-year college $27,000 in debt, when hundreds of thousands of capable young people no longer see college as an option because of high costs and when the u.s. is falling further and further behind our economic competitors in terms of the percentage of young people graduating from college, no agreement should be passed which, over a period of years, makes a bad situation worse and will make college even less affordable than it is today.

For the first time in my life i realize why hangers are called hangers, because after fifteen minutes of trying things on and throwing them aside, all i want to do is hook one to the top of my closet door, lean my neck into the loop, and let my weight fall.

It is understandable how some people could give way to this kind of pervasive pessimism, but we speak of a gospel which brings good tidings of great joy and this must be reflected in our lives, if we are to be believable especially as we suggest to others that there is, in fact, not only a better way, but also the way. scriptures that speak of man as a being who "might have joy" have more impact when falling from the lips or pens of men and women whose lives give fresh evidence of the validity of that scripture.
