Cara & Kyle and GAME NIGHT

Cara & Kyle, best friends, invite their friends over to Kyle's apartment for a game night. 

Friends that showed up: Byron, Susan, and Kevin
Didn't make it: Kevin's husband Giovanni (aka Gio)

Scene is set in Kyle's apartment... 
Opens with everyone gathered in the kitchen and around the kitchen table. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Susan: "Kyle that dinner was delicious. I am so glad that you guys decided to have us over."

Kyle: "You are so very welcome. It was so easy and simple. I found the recipes and ideas in last month's Sandra Lee Magazine... I forget the name of her magazine. Maybe that is the name... anyway, she has awesome ideas, I love her."

Cara: "He isn't lying, I think he secretly pretends to be her when he is cooking. I swear that I can hear him talking to the invisible cameras."

Kyle: "First of all, I don't do that. And secondly, how could you hear anything? You don't live with me!"

Cara: "I live next door, I can hear you through the walls."

Kyle: "Mmm, yes, that works both ways by the way."

Cara: "Woo-uh-ohhhh"

Byron: "Well, I agree with Susan, this is awesome. What games do you have for us on this 'Game Night'?"

Cara: "We have a few different ideas, but we don't have an even number of players since Giovanni isn't here?"

Kyle & Susan: "Yeah, Kevin, where is Gio? ... JINX."

Kevin: "He was called in just as we were heading out the door.  Apparently the A/C went down at the hospital. My husband, the HVAC hero." (takes a sip of drink) "Actually, he is really good at what he does, which is why they like to call him in, and they pay him extremely well."

Kyle: "I would hope so. Someone has to fund your lavish tastes!"

[laughter]

Cara: "Well, why don't we play our own version of 'Who's Line is it Anyway?' and do some silly improv things?"

All at once: Kevin: (sighs) "I guess."  Byron: "Sounds good"  Susan: "Yeah, that should be fun"
Kyle (trailing behind the others) : "You're going down, Cara"

All look at Kyle, Cara gets him the stink eye. Laughter from the others.

Cara: "We need a host and judge. Who wants to be the Drew Carey?"

Kevin: "Me. Me. Give that microphone slash gavel to me. I'll be more than happy to judge you all." (puts emphasis on the word all as he points at them one by one)

Cara: "Well, okay then. (pulling up info online) So, here is a list of the games from that show, and you just pick a game and then pick which of us you want to play that game."

(everyone settling down in the living room on the couches and chairs)

Kevin: "Alright, let's see here... ummm... okay, let's start by pinning our wonderful hosts Kyle and Cara against each other with.... which game... hmmm, how about 90 Second Alphabet, whatever you say has to start with the next letter in the alphabet from what was used previously, and so on and so forth. Starting with the letter G... you have 90 seconds... and go."

Kyle: "Girl, what's up?"

Cara: "How you doin'?"

Kyle: "I asked you first."

Cara: "Jiminy Crickets, calm down!"

Kyle: "Kyle. My name is Kyle!"

Cara: "Like you would let me forget."

Kyle: (pauses) "Mimosa?"

Cara: (snickers) "No thank you!"

Kyle: "Ooooo-kay"

Cara: (stares at Kyle and shouts) "Pink parachutes and pickles!"

Kyle: (makes a face and shrugs shoulders) "Que pasa"

Cara: "Roasted red peppers"

Kyle: "Stop saying weird things!"

Cara: "That's what she said."

Kyle: "Ummmmm, does Umm count?"

Cara: "Vernacular."

Kyle: "What kind of word is that?"

Cara: "Xavier is the last name of the leader of the X-men."

Kyle: "You are so weird."

Cara: "Zippers zip and zappers zap."

Kyle: "Are we almost done?"

Cara: "Betcha by golly wow!"

Kyle: "Cara is ca-razy"

Cara: "Dern tootin'"

Kyle: "Exactly"

Cara: "Fuck yeah!"

Kyle: "Goodness that language!"

Kevin: "And you are back at G, so you're done. Thank goodness, Cara, that was awful... all the points go to Kyle!"

Cara:  "Oh come on! That is stinkin' hard to keep a conversation going with some of those letters."

Susan: "Cara, it was awful, but it was awfully hilarious"

Byron: "I quite enjoyed it."

Cara: "Well, good, Kevin, make Susan and Byron go next!"

Kevin: "Alright, and they will be playing.... Song Titles... you can only speak in song titles! But before they start we need to write down ideas for the next game... scenes from a hat. So everyone grab a pen and paper and write down some goofy idea for a scene and then Byron and Susan will have a song title conversation!"

--end of scene... so far--

It's Sunday Again

It's Sunday again, ya'll...  I have so much reading to do for my college classes, but I just can't seem to motivate myself to stay focused on it.  In my Old Testament Survey class I need to read selected chapters from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.  They are all great books, but long! And while most of the stories within them are...well, EPIC ... there are also some parts that are sooooo boring. Since I don't have to work tomorrow (since tomorrow is Labor Day) I will spend the majority of tomorrow reading.

My other class is HR Management, and thankfully I only need to read two chapters of that book. I am going to wait to read those two on Tuesday or Wednesday night.  You see, class in on Thursday, and we will take a quiz on the chapters read, so I would rather wait to have them fresher in my mind when I take the quiz. Strategic reading. Yes, I will call it strategic reading. It's not laziness.... really. 

Speaking of laziness, I finally caught up on the Jim Gaffigan Show episodes that I had in my DVR.  I really love that guy, he is just naturally funny. Its a gift. I have to admit, the show is not quite as funny as his stand up routine.  But, to be fair, the whole point of a stand up routine is to keep people laughing through the set, whereas a television show is made to entertain with a story line and offer up the occasional laugh. His show does what it is supposed to. 

And now I am catching up on Modern Family, even though I should be reading. This is another show that makes me laugh continually. What dynamic personalities on this show. It really is a great show, and now I must go so I can finish watching the episodes!  

Talk to ya later!!!
