Dr. Gini! Paging Dr. Gini!

Congratulations to my good buddy Gini, who defended her dissertation yesterday!!! What a truly awesome event this is. To commemorate this milestone in her life we got together and kicked out some serious karaoke jams til 1am. Gini wowed us with selections from the Cranberries and Guns 'n Roses (she does a mean "Paradise City"), while Marshall tried out some David Bowie and Air Supply. Now if we can just get him to follow the words on the monitor.... My fave of the night had to be Katie singing "It's Raining Men." Nice. Laura displayed an uncanny knowledge of contemporary dance/hip-hop numbers. I got off to a shaky start with "You Can't Hurry Love" (too fast!) but recovered a bit on the Bangles' "Manic Monday." I think I may be hooked! Which is progress considering how traumatized I was by my first & last karaoke experience: in college in the early 90s, to "Bust-a-Move" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. Hoo boy.
