Ideas for Weathering Irene from 95 Court

It's 11:49, and we're already bored.

Here are Majken, Abby, Claire and LEL's top ten ideas for having fun while stuck inside.

1. Make puff-paint tee-shirts that say "I survived Irene" and hope that's true.
2. Straight from Camp Laurel: Play a game of Honest Criticism, in which you sit in a circle and discuss everyone's faults.  Begin sentences with "No offense, but..."  No getting mad allowed.
3. Place all copies of Doug Lemov's "Teach Like a Champion" in weather-proof Ziploc bags so the messages of No Excuses charter school reform live on in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. 
4. Make a fort from old Ikea boxes and play Honest Criticism inside. 
5.  Form a looting team and loot the bagel store across the street even though it's still in full operation.  Bring your crowbar.
6. Play "The Hunger Games."  Contemplate your first move in a Donner Party situation.
7. Tape Lauren to a chair and watch boring movies.
8  Write our names in Sharpee on bottles of red wine and see who lasts the longest.
9. Put on your iPhone pedometer application and walk a mile without leaving the confines of your apartment.  Then, lunge a mile.
8. Stage a hurricane photo shoot. Make a hurricane playlist.
9. Create a gourmet dinner from the following: wasabi peas, Oreos, black beans and cake mix.
10.  Start a nineties cover band: Irene and the Hurricanes.  

Happy Hurricane-ing!
