A Semi-Formal Weekend

After weeks of planning between Bill and me, the semi-formal was pulled off with without a hitch. Dinner at Vinny-T’s followed by a risqué comic was the fare for the evening, after which folks came back to the house for a little get together.

On Thursday Theta Chi hosted Rave Pubnite, fulfilling a dream I’ve had since childhood of purchasing 200 glow sticks. Being social chair this semester has been fun but I’ll enjoy having Thursday nights free in the future.

Saturday night I watched Pride and Prejudice at Wellesley, which made for an exciting movie-viewing adventure. Watching a movie at Wellesley is like going to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show minus the ridiculous costumes. Everyone shouts at the screen, whole sections of the movie are drowned out by nervous giggling, and at least half of the theatre’s patronage theatre walks out crying. Needless to say I had a fine time.

On Sunday Bill and I replanted the small, but now robust Theta Chi garden. At the garden store I informed the owner that we needed plants that would survive neglect and occasional watering with beer. He told me no such plant exists, but did make some good recommendations for alternative watering methods. Some hostas, random perennials, and six bags of mulch later we have a decent looking front lawn.
