A Spectrum

In the past week I've been over to Seth and Crissy's house twice, both times for a party.

Party Uno.
The first was last friday for Crissy's birthday. It was the most bizarre party ever. Now, granted I had a wonderful time. But let me just relay some of the events of the night. It started off normal with introductions of other attendees, talking about what they had done to the house and eating dinner. However, after dinner our entertainment consisted of throwing a tennis ball back and forth over the top of their house. It took me a few tries but I finally managed to succeed once before we inevitably lost the ball. However, our friend Samanatha was unable to throw it over but managaed to somehow throw it straight at Seth who was grilling which resulted in a large "GONG" as the tennis ball bounced of the top of the grill he was holding. It was hilarious. This game also resulted in a great quote by Seth to Jacob who at the time was trying to catch the ball after it flew over the house. "Jake, that was one step away from a frolic." (Hmm, maybe that is not as funny if it's not in person). Anyway, the next game involved throwing the balloons which were decorating the house around until they popped, I did not participate in this but it took about 20 minutes of the party. Then we were outside again playing a normal game of bags and trying to light a fire. However, the fire was lit in part using table legs so the top of the table was free to amuse us as neccessary and of course did. The guys took turns standing on it, carrying and spinning each other around. Finally, before we left we played a great game of Scene it, also fairly normal, except my team lost. Oh well. It was really close and the other team had a similar crazed movie fan like me.

Party Dos.
The second party revolved around the season finale of Lost. This party was originally going to be at our place, but they have HD so why not. Seth and Crissy hadn't been watching the show like the other eight people there, but I think they are not sufficiently hooked. It was such a great episode that answered a suprising number of questions. My favorite part was Sayhid, Jin, and Sun finding the large foot statue with four toes. Plus there were some great storms coming through during the show which added to the mood and let us run outside during the commercials to watch the amazing lightning (They live in the country). I was with other storm lovers!!! Of course, what Lost party would be complete without some Dharma Intiative Chili. Now at your local grocer.
