it's late, so i won't be too long. to celebrate the near end of our stint here in chevy chase, "beth" (one of our program coordinators, and therefore bosses) and "nina" (another PC) organized a staff variety show. usually, every wednesday is my favorite day because the "scholars" get to do a variety show. it's basically a talent show, but with no winners. the reason there are not any winners is because there is not any talent...at all. it's a tie; they all lose. i have been lucky enough to be the host of said variety show a few times now. i don't know why people want me to host it. i'm not overly funny or anything; i just go up and introduce the people. that's my part.
anyway, we had a staff show after all the kids were taken care of, and some people finally got the chance to show us their stuff. let's see...there was (in no particular order):
amanda, beth, laverne, allie, fred, barney, kel, tia, tamera, "meredith" (another veteran here...she makes the best cookies), karl, huey, and "india" (a noob here, and quite the free spirit)...i think that was all. there was a lot of "going in" on people, which is sort of a tradition here at NYSP with the staff. people just go in on each other all the time. something's wrong when you don't go in on somebody. i've never gone in on kel or anyone. but i'm neutral, so i stay out of it. i'm too tired to go into great detail like i want to, but it'll be mentioned in full soon. for now, here are a few videos from the madness...
warning: if you have a weak constitution and cannot stand a lot of buffoonery, please don't watch...
this is huey, tia, fred, meredith, karl, and barney doing their rendition of a song from the musical "rent." tootie actually made a cameo appearance because she was doing the music, and singing probably harder than any of these other folks. bless her heart.
this is tamera doing a magic trick. i will be the first to admit that i thought she was going to show us the secret behind her and tia's cheating in spades, but it was actually a legit magic trick. she magicked that handkerchief right into thin air. good job, twin evilene.
this is fred, barney, and "pretty boy" kel doing something to "sweet dreams are made of this." when i don't know the proper name to a song, i just call it the first line that i hear of the song, whether the line is accurate or not. i'm not good with many songs; i mostly make up my own lyrics.
the show itself was funny. i'll next time try to go through each act and give my two cents. but for now, i must sleep and prepare for the last day here at NYSP for 2011. we'll see how it goes.
hello sleep,
