Karaoke Adventures

Saturday we went to our friend Shannon's apartment for a quality N'Orleans dinner: red beans and rice, cornbread, fried chicken and pig tails. I thought the pig tails were pretty good...there just didn't seem to be a lot of meat to them. My penance for trying one was that Lee refused to kiss me until after I brushed my teeth...the pig tails weren't that good. Shannon is a fantastic cook though, as well as an accomplished singer, poet and booty shaker. Despite lessons, we were not able to replicate the booty shaking. Lee and Shannon know each other through the Chicago School so most of the people in attendance were other classmates. Shannon's husband, Mike, and I entertained ourselves with SingStar, a newish Karaoke game for the PlayStation 3. For those of you that don't know, I love to sing and I have negative amounts of innate ability...a disastrous combination. At any rate we had a lot of fun. We were able to bust out our MC Hammer moves for a rendition of "Can't Touch This." I even managed to score "rising star" on "Never Gonna Give You Up." I have since decided that Rick Astley was not very talented.
