Following "spring" break, things got back to business. But that didn't stop a number of unusual trips and events from occuring.

Sports, Etc.

A giant spoon and Seth Greenberg's tie on the court could only signal the climax of basketball season. Hillcrest's intramural softball team played some games and almost won a few. And then a bunch of people bought rubber dart guns and terror reigned the TV lounge. Yep, you guessed it: "Sports" in March.


Basketball II
	Well, I played the lottery again and got terrible seats. But some of the guys from our building with season tickets couldn't make it to the game. So Jeremy and I sat in their seats to enjoy the post-Statics Test entertainment!
Come on, guys, get your head(s) in the game!
	WOOH! FREE THROWS! Seriously, my opinion is that if you're getting paid to play basketball, you should be able to shoot at least 75 or 80 percent. Or be totally awesome at something else.
SPOON! (One of the players is named Witherspoon.)
Softball with the Hillcrest A's
	I have terrible hand-eye coordination, so I didn't sign up to play softball. But that didn't stop me from cheering the team on. NOTE: These pictures are actually from 3 different games. Here, our intrepid photographer leaves to shoot some pictures of the Hillcrest A's... so named because they thought "The Hillcrest 3.5's" was too blunt. [Hint: it's about Grade Point Averages...]
Here, some of the team members warm up with some hall sports.
	Wednesday Night Lights
And then Jeremy was mauled by a vicious bear.
	OK, guys, time for a pep talk. Pep. Pep.
We almost won this game! Unfortunately, it was a scrimmage. Oh well. Now about the game. Here, Jeremy got up to bat and...
	...hit what eventualy became a home run. Here, he does his best impression of the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Man." You can calculate either his speed or his direction, but not both.
Wooh, go team! Score the goal... point... unit! Wooh, go crowd! Don't freeze your nips off!
	But there is no joy in Mudville. Mighty Casey has struck out.
ACTION SHOT! Team Co-Captian Daniel makes it to first, and Pete decides that now would be a good time to start running.
	Horray Sportsmanship! Isn't it great how the photo captions are so lengthy and applicable to the actual photos? Oh wait, I mean the exact opposite of what I just said.
Terror Alert: Mocha
Tonight, in the TV lounge: two men enter. One man leaves. Nerf guns at 10 paces.
	Caught in the crossfire.
Geoff, ever the tactician.
	OK, that's just mean.
But fortunately, through a swift emergency suctioncupectomy, all parties involved were able to make it on this completely unrelated trip to The Homeplace restaurant. Except I was the only one from the previous photos who actually went. So never mind. Anywho, the food's very good. You should try it sometime. A tip: don't eat anything for like two days beforehand.
