John J. Trause Raps in Middle English

It's not the beginning of the Canterbury Tales... I honestly can't get a feel for what part it is. Anyone?

New Resume Item

So I just had an art major here at school stop by and ask me to model for her. She said I had an "interesting mask". I'll take that as a compliment, I think. ;)

Anyway, I told her I would do it. I figure it is something different (and it appeals to my ego). It also gives me an excuse to be still for an extended period of time (which sounds really good, but we shall see how well it works out in practice, considering how much I fidget when I'm at the computer).

I wonder if I can add this to my resume. Artist's Model. Hmmmm.....

MD Rennaissance Festival

Well, I made my yearly pilgramige to the MD Renn Fest yesterday. Said HI to folks I only see once a year (if that). It was interesting going back with new weight/new hair and seeing who recognized me and who didn't. Very surprising. A. the P. knew who I was right away, despite having only had an hour-long conversation with me over the past seven years. D.E., my former boss, had no clue who I was. He eventually figured it out, but it took a couple of minutes. Same with V.C., who I know from the Ontario Renn Fest. He thought I was someone he knew, but he wasn't too sure. D.P. knew me right away. We got lunch together and had a chance to catch up. C. of the P. also knew who I was--or else he was better at hiding his confusion/uncertainity. Anyway, here are some pics. Nothing too good--the light was weird (at least that's my story).

Disturbing.

The Big Lebowskie

Uh, those easily offended should not watch this.

For the rest of you, don't you find that it actually gets funnier the longer it goes on?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Lebowski

ditto ditto.

My Little Pony - The Big Lebowski

ditto.

The Last Knit

Again, I have no audio, so I don't actually know what is going on. I'm mostly posting this here so I can come back to it later and watch it with audio.

angry professor

I don't have any audio, so I can't actually hear what is going on. From the comments I read about it, I think it is staged--but it is still every professor's fantasy.
