Best Sleuth of the Party

This was a very nice weekend. The murder mystery was great fun. The mystery itself wasn't that well put together (everybody had a motive, no one had an alibi, and you couldn't really examine the nonexistent crime scene). Nobody guessed the murderer in our group, but I got voted Best Sleuth and won a $10 gift certificate to Circuit City. Everybody was very much in costume, and acting their parts pretty well. We also had a really nice supper which was themed with the two mysteries, a 50s cookout and a luau.

Saturday I saw Pirates 1 and 2 again, in pirate costume. Pirate costumes are very comfortable. And my brother wore a clip-on gold hoop earring! That was definitely worth seeing.

On Sunday I went to a free concert in the park with the Bible study group. It was "Cherish the Ladies," an all-women Irish band playing traditional Irish music. They even had a little step-dancing going on.

The housing for Philly is official, so I just sent off a "hi-ya" type e-mail to my three roommates. Not that Liz really needs to read it.

We just watched E.T. tonight. I think the film major stuff is definitely starting to rub off on me, because I felt quite relieved when I realized that this film actually had good cinematography. I hadn't been consciously missing it in other movies, but I could tell it was there in this one.
