Grad-lympics

It's a good thing we're creative, because athleticism just ain't gonna happen.

(closing ceremonies on the front porch.
Sadly there was no fire involved.)

To celebrate the end quarter, the penultimate day of classes, which we have off, all the grads gathered at the Macbett house for Grad-lympics. A series of special, theatre-oriented "events" all while picking at a turkey and drinking a beer. Like the cable coil:

And the "Who's Line" with odd props:

(there was much hilarity when the players outside made fun of the GH players inside)

And Iron Draping, which was like Project Runway meets Iron Chef. Complete with Tim Gunn impressions and a nipply mannequin:


And for the uber-goobers, a Shakespeare scavenger hunt. Using a quote, figure out the physical location of the play, then locate the next clue in the right play (there were like 3 at each station). Oh yes, there was some playing dirty, and entirely too much, "There is no way that is Coriolanus. It's totally Titus!"

And as intermission entertainment, I rocked some Guitar Hero on XBox. I covet, but then I'd REALLY never get anything done. After an embarrassing first go-round, I snagged a high score on "Rock This Town." And I can't wait for GH3!

A nice diversion before diving head first into my library books.
