Good List Week 4
Jersey Shore
Oh, the weather has just been unpredictable these past few weeks. From that brutal, brutal winter to a false summer of a few days, to now chilly, dreary spring. Well, I was fortunate enough to get to the beach on a warm day, and bask in the ocean.
I reminisced - I went to the beach as a child, but my memories are so fragmented, I couldn't recall any one trip clearly. Even without the recollection, I felt the waves crash deep within me, and found some small peace to take home.
Improv
Montclair film, aka the Clairidge, puts on a few shows just about every month, including an improv show. This was my third time going, and it was nice, clean fun for an evening. I've been exhausted lately, watching way more television than I'd like, so the opportunity to watch live community theatre was hard to pass up on.
It's also fun to engage, shout out suggestions for the performers. The audience volunteer this time was a hoot, an older lady who clammed up and refused to share any definitive details about her life: how many kids does she have? maybe 3, maybe 4; what was her career? better not to say! It was hilarious.
Card Games
Nothing like a deck of cards to bring people together. I'm fairly activity oriented (as opposed to lounge oriented), so the chance to play some card games this weekend with friends was welcome. I learned the game slap-jack, which is similar to spit, but purely focused on slapping the pile as fast as possible. I get so animated with games like this, it's a fun rush to win some hands.
