Pete and Pete and Pizza! For those who have not seen the show The Adventures of Pete and Pete, I cannot even begin to say what you are missing. On Friday Jessica and AJ came over to watch the recently released first season DVD. AJ had never seen the show, but Jessica and I were fans. The show is definitely better watching it with friends as we breezed through many adventures, busting out laughing and sighing with wonder.

It shows like this that I want to capture the same spirit in the work I do. You have the extremely bizarre and absurd combined with mystery and wonder with unique characters along with serious heartfelt issues, emotions and things to learn about life. With stories such as wrestling a bowling ball, finding love because of metal plate in someone's head, befriending an icecream man with relationship issues, being insecure because you work at a driving range so you dress up as a bear, wanting to change the world with a jetpack, searching lawns for landmines and lines such as, "I don't blame him, I blame his glands.", how cool is that?

Even after taking a lot of film courses and critiquing what we see, The Adventures of Pete and Pete is a model example of excellent writing, cinematography, acting and everything inbetween. Shows so dynamic as this are rare. It's nice to know Nickelodeon is releasing the second season which is only two months away! Another party is sure to ensue :)

PS: We played Super Smash Brothers and I kicked everyone's butt. AJ was good, and Jessica put up a really good fight. Sounds like we must battle again!

ahh what a beautiful time that was! I can't wait for round 2! We still have a lot more of season one to watch! ...yessssssss!!! (lifts knee in air simultaneously as fist is pulled toward the waist, and is not a 'gay yes')
you forgot to mention how we busted out on SMASH!!! i would have won if you didn't cheat! ;)
oh and AJ didn't stop us from trying to steal music... but i guess the Lord did, cause we couldn't find that song! ...grr (shakes fist in the general direction of AJ's room-for some unknown reason). But it's good because stealing music is BAD. So thanks be to God for guiding us in that.
Okay i am geting distrated by your blog :D
Have a great day friend! YAY!

1:31am! Wow. [now I will insert my necessary Napoleon Dynamite reference to spice up the blog]. "Don't be jelous because I've been chatting online with babes all day"...or night this time.

Yeah! I'm all for another round of Pete and Pete. I think AJ is too, and if anyone else wants to tag along, they are totally welcome.

Cheating on Super Smash Brothers? Nope. PIKACHU!! [zaps everyone on the blog and makes them fly off the screen]

Jessica said...

"Brrrring HA!" (Yoshi jumps and head butts Pikachu down to the ground.)

"Pika! pi!!!....." (tiny ding sound as Pikachu flys off into the distance)

"Cup 'O Noddle! ... ok!"

Jason Rasmussen said...

HA! Never noticed the picture huh? American Idol, not here. You gotta watch out for those wolves, they just come out of nowhere and bite you!

Ellen, yes, Ellen AJ.

Cup O Noodle!... OK! Indeed! And Jessica, now I know you can masquerade around as a beatbox as well as a Super Smash Brothers video game, and no one would know the difference.
