Hot Like Ebola!!!

In response to Andrew's comment, here's how the improv show on Saturday went:
we played "let's be", "machines", "what are you doing?", and "directed story".

During "let's be, a game where a kid says "let's be ___!" (cow or lawyer or whatnot) and we say "yes. ;lets!" and act it out, we got 17 small crawling animals. Dang, do my knees hurt. We also got "Harry potter", and since I was the only one onstage who's actually read the books and thus knew what kinda stuff he does, I got the loudest cheer :)

"what are you doing?" is a fun and easy elimination game. Two people start on center stage. The first player answers something that has nothing to do with what he's actually doing. E.g. if player 1 is cutting someone's hair, when asked what he's doing he might say "I'm reading the newspaper". Player two must then "read the newspaper, and when player 1 asks him what he's doing, he says something like "washing the dog". It's tight. I got cheers for that one when Kevin (our teacher) upped the ante and we had to say what we were doing using only the letters provided. The letters were "ac" and I beat two people, one with "almost crying" and one with "anti-creating".

Basically, those were my two most shining moments in improv.

The show on Tuesday was significantly less fabulous. I think we used all our energy on Saturday, and this audience (being college-aged and thus less excited about improv than kids) was not as enthusiastic as they could have been.

Why does physics suck so bad?

I'm getting excited to go down for thanksgiving. I miss y'all down there.
