Idioclips

To those who do not know me (the vast majority of you)I do not listen to a whole lot of music. However there is one paticular band I follow and enjoy their songs. This band is Tripod.
Now Tripod host their annual competition where they get members of the Australian public to create music videos and send them in. The winners get a prize as well as a deep sense of pride and Tripod get to do a show of old material that will sell.
It is a win-win situation.

So, me being me, I decided to enter into this Idioclip competition along with a fellow Tripodee.
Harsh was the opperative word of the evening as we ruthlessly tore down song options from the pedestool of possibilities.
"No!", I exclaimed while ripping down The Hotdog Man, "How are we going to do the argument?"
As well as:
"My Best Friend's Coming is a good song but it might be a bit awkward to shoot and it is a bit short"

Finally after many days of deliberation we had our minds set on one song to make great, One Song to Reign Supreme over the other pathetic entries, One Song to Rule Them All and in the Darkness Find them.
This song was 'I always get into stuff'

However we soon changed songs for 'The Stalker Song'.

"Fellow Tripodee", I rang one morning, "What are you doing today?"
"Grrughhuh?", Came the response, "It's 3 in the morning, what do you want!?"
"Oh sorry"

Ringing back at a later time we organised to start brainstorming our music video for this song.
"We're missing something", I pondered after listening to the song for the second time.
"Yes we are", Agreed my actor
"Pens!", I shouted
Five minutes later after finding the pens behind the couch I pondered again.
"What else have we forgotten?", I asked while pen poised at the ready.
"Err....", Came the predictable reply, "Paper?"
"...Oh yeah"

So now truely ready to go we began brainstorming for our big project. Discarding ideas such as: walking on ceilings, and giant bowling balls we quickly realised that storyboarding was harder than expected.
"Can't we just skip the storyboarding and go straight to the filming", I asked in a brief moment of insight.
"Never!", Came the reply, "Didn't you do Media in school?"
"Well, no"

Then we did the unthinkable... we looked up.
And there above us, was the tv.
And on the TV was a rather ugly model of a duck. Quickly removing the duck as it was obscuring my view of the program I remarked, "Hey! Whose Line Is It Anyway?!"

Half an hour wasted.
But then... "Hey! Scrubs!"
A full hour down the drain.

It quickly dawned on us it was lunch time and to my slightly Homosexual friend that only meant one thing. Ellen.
AAAAAAARGH
Another excuriating hour lost to this mindless drivel. To this 'show' that hangs on the fact that its host can dance rather badly.
However my 'friend' interrupted my contemplation of whether I should gouge my eyes out with my pen or not with the suggestion of "Mario Kart?".

Bam, two hours lost.
A total 5 hours wasted and hardly any brainstorming down for this Idioclips competition. Succumbing into depression at how badly I managed my time I quickly donned black clothing and wore eyeliner. Hating myself and the world so much that I decided to go home and waste another hour writing a blog about these events.


But the episode of Scrubs was rather funny.
JD had one of those crazy daydreams he always has.
