We're Baaaccck!

Hello friends and well-wishers of the wonderful Jowder's Blog! It's been quite some time since we've all seen eachother, has it not? Well, we all returned from Spring Break triumphantly, some of us with less bruises than others.
A lot has happened since the last time we all spoke: We had our first party since spring break and it was a total success! I say it was a success because not many people showed up, not many people had fun-- but I did! So, it was a success!
So what is going on over here? Well, a bunch of us totally helped write the end of the show, so I guess that's pretty great. Also, Dan is trying to purchase games for the Virtual Console, but he doesn't realize that to buy games on Virtual Console you first have to buy Alex Super Mario RPG for the Virtual Console, otherwise it won't let you buy anything else on it. He'll learn someday. Also: Dan, Cait, Pete and I are testing our endurance by staying on the Beyonce Lemon Detox Diet. So far Dan has dropped out. Already. Within two hours of trying it he flipped out and made himself twenty-seven burgers. Twenty-seven.
Again, the Wii has failed because Dan doesn't realize that he needs to buy Super Mario RPG. He's an idiot.
I s'pose that's it for now. I just wanted to make a small blog post.

My 21st!

Hey.
It's my 21st Birthday.
I typed 31st at first.
But that's wrong.
My friends took me to a place called Tracks in Stamford.
It was fun.
I'm crazy drunk.
I miss Jowders.
I miss you all. <3.
Hey, what's going on over here?

Who watches the technical director presentations?

Cait's turn!

Today's TD was fan-fucking-tastic. First of all, he was bright blue. BRIGHT ELECTRIC BLUE. Normally I'd think that a blue man would be pretty weird, but my LORD he had a giant penis. GIANT. Perhaps I should have mentioned that he was naked. It's not like he just whipped out(not that I'd have a problem with that), he just doesn't see the point in wearing clothes. He once showed up for a televised interview about the impending holocaust wearing nothing but eyeliner. He's my kind of name.

His name is John Ostermann, and he had originally intended on being a watchmaker, but after the destruction of Hiroshima he left the field to pursue physics. He used to be a nuclear scientist, but a terrible accident turned him into a lighting designer. He had left his watch inside of an Intrinsic Field subtractor, and when he went back to retrieve it the timelock, well, locked, and he was trapped inside. The accident gave him superpowers, and he was later contracted by the government to fight in the Vietnam war.

Lucky for us, he left the title of goverment-sactioned superhero behind him after a self-exile on Mars, and now he's applying for the TD position at Franklin Pierce. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation.

And by presentation, I mean giant blue penis.

Dan and the Magic Bush!

So after I drew my picture of Drowasfdak I gave Chad the notebook and pencil and this is what he drew... 

All we know is that the man is Dan but the rest of the scenario is unknown. Here is what I think:

One day Dan woke up and slid on his suit jacket, glued his hair up, and went about his day. On his way to school he saw cleavage peering at him in through the bushes. Dan was intrigued and got into his pouncing stance. He then made his move but before he could dive in it attacked! A pair of breastes on squiggle-bob fremped out at him! I am unsure about what happened next but I'm sure he woke up naked inside of the info desk.

Thank you.

What Really Happened: The Alex Story

That bitch didn't even do a presentation.
I give her 3 out of 5 Courtneys

TD Review: Part Deux

So I didn't get much sleep last night so I decided not to attend the second of the pretend classes but luckily I have Alex to describe to me about this second candidate. So this TD was a woman named... Amy Donkrway.... She wore a denim skirt and a sweater. She liked lighting stuff I think he said and that she was nervous for most of the beginning. Her presentation I assume was a slide show of drawings from the time that she did The Glass Menagerie. I would of been impressed with her but she didn't mention anything about sound. Not that I really care but it would of been nice to mention... 

I give her 2 1/2 Courtneys out of 5!

Hull: 2059

Tonight was the wackiest adventure of my entire life.
It started with Luke innocently asking me if I would accompany him on his trip to bring Christie back to Hull. I said yes.
I should have said no.
We started our drive around 7:00 PM March 8th, 2009.
I mention the year because the trip we were about to take was through time.
We traveled along Route 59 for about 20 minutes. I had never heard of a Route 59 around these parts before, so I asked Luke where we were exactly; he stayed quiet. I began to get nervous. A thick blackness blanketed the sky. There were no streetlights, no stars-- no moon. There were no other cars on this route. It was one way. There were no trees in sight. A dense fog rolled in. It was impossible to see anything even an inch in front of my face. I started shouting to Luke that he should slow down. "Slow down," I shouted, "We'll crash! Luke!" I screamed until I was hoarse, but could not hear my own voice. The fog had seeped into the car. I could not see my own hands. I felt reality slipping away from me. I don't know if I passed out because I was terrified, or if I had drowned in the dense fog.
I woke up after what seemed like five minutes. The clock said it was 8:30. I had lost an hour and a half. Luke and Christie stood above me when everything came back into focus. Christie was laughing loudly. Luke slapped me in the face. "Get up, "He said, "We're here." Luke told me we were in Hull. Behind us was a giant fence. Ahead of us was a lush, green wonderland. The sun was shining. This was my first sign.
Looming above the town were a giant pair of glasses. They made a complete 360 every couple of seconds, as if they were scanning the town.
Christie grabbed my arm. "You hungry?"
"I-I guess so?" My voice was hoarse. I assumed it was from the screaming earlier. They took me to a local restaurant. It was called Starz. They told me it was a diner. We sat in a booth. It was a strangely themed diner. The theme seemed to be cheetah cubs? The waitress, who wore a familiar pair of glasses brought us our menus. "My name is Leena. Boh-God." My eyes bulged. Did our waitress just say boh-god? Luke and Christie both responded with a casual "Boh-God."
"I'll be your waitress tonight, so uh...if you uhhh, need me or anything-- I'll be here." She sauntered away, and sat on stool staring at us. Her eyes made me uneasy. I looked down at the menu. The options were limitted: Ellios, Chicken Nuggest and French Fries and Cheese Raviollis. I looked up at Luke and he said nothing.
We ate in silence.
We left for our first landmark: Luke's house.
What stood before us was not a house. What stood before us was a monument. A monument of a tall, slender man with an eye-patch. His face was familiar to me, yet somehow distant. I looked to Luke and looked back at the statue. He nudged me forward. I took a few steps toward the monument. I saw in the man's hand an enormous staff. Nestled in the staff's head was a massive dark crystal, pulsing with energy. I took a few more steps and read the inscription written on the monument's base:
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
It was then I realized I was no longer in my own time.
My nose began to bleed, and my headed pounded. The last thing I heard was Christie laughing loudly.
I woke up again in Luke's car. We were on Route 3 North. We were in Boston. It was 10:30. He turned to me and smiled. We drove in silence.

It's About Time...

Now I know what you think when you hear the name Dan Mason.... the quiet one that's always straight to the point. But this blog has been going on far too long without a little post from the Shaolin Shadow Walker himself, Fats Pepper!

Last night while you were getting tucked into bed by your dad and the woman you refuse to call your step-mother, we kicked it wicked with an explosion of confetti, streamers, and shrimp. How could I sum up St. Party's Day so you can truly understand the carnage that occurred? Well... Luke, Alex, and I jizzed in our pants, a few of us played a casual game of Russian Roulette, Luke and I are never going to dance again because our guilty feet and the rhythm they may or may not have, Erica was lost in the 'Hall of Doors', I think I saw Scott?!?, Who was that kid dancing with everyone?, the Jowders shot may seem like a mudslide shot but it's not you bitch!, Pete's officially 21 now and my clock is off by 5 minutes, and this is what Alex does....he sits on you.

Oh! and Brad was there.

It was an amazing night, but Courtney wasnt there so it kind of sucked anyways. Well, that's it for me for now. I'm out like a kid on a swing with no arms! Peace!

The Party Kicks Off!

It is now 9:06 and the party is hopping!

hey everyone this is Andrew and luke is gonna kill me but hello everyone lol u might remember me i was the one in the green sweater but anyways this party is fun its now 10:40 so everyone have fun!

TD Review: Alex Style

As Luke mentioned we're going to have a new TD! It'll be great!
The first guy's name was James, Luke. James MacNamara? Maybe. I know his first name was James.
All I know is that he's young, so that's a good thing. He also looked grizzled, which is always a good thing. You can't have a TD who isn't grizzled looking! You need a grizzly TD! If any of you folks in internet have a clean shaven TD he's wrong. Sorry.
Anyways, this guy seemed to be more of a lighting designer then anything else, which is pretty cool. He opened his presentation by showing us all photographs of his production of The Pillowman and they were pretty cool shots. He also likes Tom Waits, and this is always a plus, I s'pose. His backround on his computer was him with a baby on his shoulders. This poses a question: Is this that man's baby? Or did he steal that baby? We don't know what kind of man he is! He could very well be capable of stealing a baby. He asked us a couple of questions, including things like what we felt the role of the designer was and blah-de-bloop-de-rooty-tooty-fruity-doo. All-in-all he seemed like a nice guy. Luke liked him 'cause the guy was totally into sound design. I asked him if he had any experience in Stage Management, and he said he couldn't call a show to save his life.
I s'pose that's okay.
Not everyone is as awesome at Stage Management as I am.
I guess I liked him. He really didn't give enough of a presentation for me to get to know him. Really, I think, the point of this presentation was for US to get to know him. I don't think it was for the other professors. I'm sure they get more face time with him. He didn't present enough. I would have liked to have seen more of his work, but thems the digs, y'know?
Bob should've asked him if he was okay with working with crazy people.
People we got a ton of them.
Anna asked him something about whether or not he liked teeth, then she kept giving him the side-eye like she wanted to fight him.
Just kidding.
Anna wasn't there.
But she was.
In my heart.

3 out of 5 Courtneys!

TD Review I

Since our current technical director Richard Silvestro will be retiring this year the school is going to have to find a new one. To do so we will take one class taught by each of the three candidates. This after noon we had our first with... Jake... Jack? WHO KNOWS! He began by showing us his process of designing light and sound for a show. He had a nice little slide show from his last show The Pillowman that was full of nice shots from the show plus some audio with it, although the song didn't play when he wanted it to but he remained calm and moved allow. When he asked what he would do with $5000 he did say he would want a new sound system. Although I will not be around to benefit I think a lot of what he was saying was really good and he knows a lot about the new technology used for theater and I liked that. So for this TD I give him 4 Courtneys out 5.

Registering for classes sucks.
I'm currently waiting for CampusWeb to open. I've been waiting for at least six minutes now.
I also have to turn in a request to graduate.
ST. PARTY'S DAY TONIGHT!
So, last night I had this really incredibly weird dream.
I had this dream that I was back in high school, but I still looked like who I am now. I was back in high school, and I was going through the motions of High School. I was going to my classes from Freshmen year, and picking up my friend up the street before school, and walking into our first class together. And then Pete showed up, and he was all "Do you know why you're here again?" and I was all "No, Pete, I do not." To which HE responded "You did something in High School that you have to change. I won't leave you alone until you change what you did." So, I kept going through the motions of high school knowing that I had to change something, but this time Pete became a part of my high school- but he was always watching me. He has dead eyes, y'know. It's due to having no soul.
I woke up before I could figure out what I did wrong. What did I do, Pete?! What did I do?!

Anyways, I'm really excited for St. Party's Day, and I'm really excited for Watchmen tomorrow in IMax. And I'm really excited for the weekend! 'Cause everybody's workin' for the weekend.

Preparations Begin!


Preparations for St. Parties Day is in full effect!

We're packing up the Dungeons and Dragons papers, the toilet seats are being polished and the sink is throwing up! As you can see our sink has spewed up a color with an amazing color and the smell can not be described.

In other Luke news! Today when I was surprised by Dan when he found a frozen bottle of Coke Zero had exploded in my back seat so there was Coke Slush all over the passenger side back seat floor. 

Here is another disgusting picture of our sink!

Not just a dream!

Hey there everybody out there in the internet!

When I woke up this morning, I was sure that I had only seen this new-fangled blog dealy in a dream...but lo and behold, it's real! It's not just a dream! The boys actually did wake me up last night to show me this new-fangled blog dealy.

New fangled. When you get to be as old as I am ( I've been turning 39 for the last eight years), you too can use out-dated slang about things that really aren't futuristic.

THIS JUST IN:
Luke is laying on top of Chad on the stairs.

Chad's spleen is being crushed, and he feels like Luke is being absorbed into his bellybutton.

Dan is contemplating sex with a hot pocket.

Pete is still reading.

Alex is hidden under a red blanket.

...and I'm going to bed...I just drank a goblet of night-time cold medicine.

GRATE job!

Birthday Cele-Gration!


Today, as we all know, is Cait's birthday! In light of this amazing news, we decided to get her a nice little cake from the Hannaford's. Dan, Alex and I went to the store and we picked up a cake we liked and decided to get it customized. We wanted the cake to say "Cait - Great Job!" We asked the lady at the bakery to do this, and she was very snarky. She snapped at Dan! She did it anyways, and it really only took her five seconds. She handed the cake back to us and we were very pleased! We continued on shopping. I looked down at the cake, though, and noticed something very odd: the word "great" was spelled wrong! Notice that it's spelled "Grate" and not "Great!" We thought it'd be cool to give her this cake anyways. She loved it! Happy Birthday Cait!

In other news: Pete just farted. Chad also informed us that when he dies his body will explode into seventeen cats all of which will run into the forest - except one fat one that will die immediately.
Pete is brushing up on his Watchmen because in exciting news we're all going to see Watchmen this weekend IN IMAX! How awesome! 
In sadder news we couldn't watch LOST tonight. We usually aren't able to watch it when it is aired, but we tape it during rehearsals. However, this week our VCR acted up and the episode cut out eight minutes in! What a terrible predicament. Thankfully, ABC airs the episode from the previous week before the new episodes. 

Don't forget about St. Party's Day this Friday! 

Also: Notice that on the right side of the blog we've got a poll going! Vote on what our April Party should be themed!
And for those of you that don't know: LARPing is "Live Action Role-Playing"
Also: "Anything BUT Clothes" does NOT- I REPEAT NOT- mean naked. It just means you have to wear things that are NOT CLOTHES. 

See ya in the funny papers!

Sources Say Cait McKay is 22 Today!


This is a video the household made a year ago, but it is still near and dear to all the Jowders Fan's hearts. Enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAIT!

THIS JUST IN!!!

LUKE TRIED TO SIT ON ALEX'S BED
RIGHT
AND
AND
HE TRIED TO SIT ON IT
BUT IF YOU SEE IN THE BACKROUND:
Here's a breakdown for you:
You see that thing that there's stuff on behind Alex?
Well, it's not entirely connected to the actual wall. It's just a piece of wood sitting on bare wall. Also, it has a lip. So like, it's totally able to just FLIP OVER. Well, Luke tried to sit on Alex's bed. But he DIDN'T SIT ON THE BED. HE SAT ON THE LIP. OF. THE. WOODEN. SHELF. THING. AND IT FLIPPED.
ALL THE WAY OVER. AND EVERYTHING WENT ALL OVER ALEX. LIKE 6 DVD CASES, FOUR BOOKS, A THING OF ICE CREAM. ALL ON ALEX. OH MAN.

Shout out to the Fa-Li-Taaayy!!

Our Brad!

So what is up at Jowders Cove?

Ever wonder about all the fun and crazy stuff that happens in at Jowders Cove?

Well... right now Luke is up in his room eating Sour Patch Kids Extreme and watching the news. Nothing eventful...

In the living room we have a special guest! Brad is sleeping on the blue recliner with Family Guy on in the background...This isn't such a special guest, per say. Brad frequents the Jowders house - so be prepared to hear a lot more about him in upcoming updates!

Not enough news on what Dan is doing. He's probably asleep, or something like that. Maybe he's watching TV? Maybe he's texting? There's a myriad of options here at Jowders!

Chad is currently watching scenes from The Dark Knight. Who knows what plots are crossing his mind at this very moment!

Cait and Pete -- well...no one is entirely sure what they're up to! It's a house of MYSTERY!

Alex is downstairs in his room listening to his iPod and looking at WHACKY websites on his computer! Sources say he may play Final Fantasy IX with Luke later!

UPDATE: Pete is currently walking through the kitchen HUMMING! Dan is still asleep! Brad is in the  Mud Room playing with the fan!

Well, that's all for tonight! Don't forget about St. Party's Day this weekend! To commemorate this special day we're going to have a LIVE BLOG EVENT! Look forward to PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND EVEN LIVE UPDATES!!

See you out there-- On Jowders Cove!
