I loved the movie version of Les Mis! I hope Hugh Jackman wins a ton of awards for it.

A party game
Jan. 2nd, 2013 07:22 pmWe played this game at our NYE party, and at Christmas with my family. It was a huge hit both times. All you need is some scrap paper and some pens. I got the idea from YES magazine, when they did a piece on Victorian parlor games.
Here's how it works:
Everyone gets blank scraps of paper equal to the number of people at the table (if there are 5 people, each person gets 5 pieces of paper). Each person writes a phrase or saying on the top piece of paper in their stack, and then puts it on the bottom of the stack. Everyone passes their stack to the left. The recipient reads what the person wrote and then draws it on the next piece of paper. The drawing is put on the bottom of the stack and passed on. The next recipient views the drawing and then writes what they think it represents and passes it to the next person. The next person reviews what was just written, and draws it, etc. so that each stack starts with a saying and then alternates between an artistic interpretation and an interpretation of the drawing. When the stack reaches the person who wrote the original saying, there should be no more blank papers in the stack. They share the stack with the group, showing what they wrote and what transpired. The results are hilarious!
