Wicked

This past weekend, D.J., myself and the fam went to see Wicked. I was a little skeptical at first because I enjoyed the Wizard of Oz, but it was never my favorite movie and I’ve only watched it more than once because I was born and still reside in Kansas. It would feel sacrilegious to not know most of it by heart. I must say, my skepticism was superfluous and I enjoyed every minute of the play. Although the premise is the Wizard of Oz, the point of view is completely different and the dialogue and humor made the play magical. I’ve only seen a handful of plays, but this one moves to the #1 position and I highly recommend that everyone go and see it if you get the chance.

Flip Cup and Beer Pong

This year's Halloween was full of all kinds of good times. We had an abundance of trick or treaters, we ran out of candy, ran to the store to buy more candy only to have about 5 more kiddies show up, our award-winnig pumpkins were stolen and smashed down the street, and we are the 2009 Costume Contest Champions. It may have taken us the better part of the day to construct these beauties, but it was well worth it to bring home the grand price trophy. It was D.J. ingenious idea, my well-structured architecture and D.J.’s willingness to be everyone’s toy for the night that put us at No.1. Thanks to all who voted for us.
