Spring Break '05 Best Of Highlights

*BEST ACTRESS*
Megan, of course, and her silly spring break documentary. Especially the Steak 'n Shake escapade. Dreaming of Pooh sweaters...

*BEST PICTURE(S)*
1. Seeing Phantom of the Opera again for the third time. Gets better with age. :)
2. Shall We Dance? - the dancing is quite enjoyable
3. Manon des Sources - sequel to Jean de Florette. Ahh, French film.

*BEST USE 7 DOLLARS*
Student ticket entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago. Spending seven hours in the museum equals a dollar an hour. Not bad at all! Especially when you get to see the Throne Room minatures; Seurat, Monet, Caillebotte, and Renoir; and the ever interesting interpretations of Dali.

*BEST OUTING*
Swing dancing in Fountain Square with the clan.

*BEST 2 SECOND MOMENT*
Scene: 7:00 Thursday morning - walking downtown.
Colin and Shannon: "Emily, who on earth are you waving to?"
Emily: "Oh, the Governor. And he waved back!"

*BEST GREEN MOMENT*
Waking up at 6:00 am to watch Mayor Peterson dye the canal green for St. Patrick's day with Emily and Colin. What were we thinking?? Also the little leprechaun ranks up there too.

*BEST QUOTE*
Grandpa: "Have you thought about graffiti?"

*BEST FOOD MOMENT*
Chinese with Geffon.
