I haven't posted in a while - I'm trying to teach myself to be less wordy, and keep it down to a facebook status update (twitter is beyond me).

My grandmother has let the surgeon know that she intends to be at her granddaughter's wedding in August, and then she needs to find out what happens when the Mayan calendar ends.   I guess they think she ( Read more... )

I think I really need to STOP doing solo bellydance performances. I can never get my act together until the last minute, and it stresses me out + is NO FUN. And, I'm pretty sure my performances are not, therefore, nearly as good as they could be. Even aside from the adrenal-fatigue induced "arms full of lead" bullshit ( Read more... )

 I know, you were just sitting around hoping that I would post a last-minute announcement of a bellydance event tonight!

So, to keep you happy - I'll be dancing in the NBDA Halloween Hafla tonight in Oxford, MA at 6pm.  Oxford is about a hour from Noho towards Worcester and I'm told that there's a problem with the google directions, but mapquest is ( Read more... )

 Happy Beltane!

I appologize to all for being EVEN MORE flakey than usual lately... I[ve been alternating sleeping in Easthampton and Billerica.  This has been playing havoc on my already less-than-stellar concept of time.

Because I don't handle long highway drives well, I've been listening to a book on CD - in this case it's Phil Lesh talking ( Read more... )

Wow.. I got a copy of a recording of the Arisia show at Shimmies, and I was really impressed with everyone's dancing - except mine.  Ouch!  Maybe I should stick with choreography.

The bad?
I got up there too early (I expected more obstructions than there were)
the hip movements were NOT visible the way I'd tucked the damn veil.   Sorta defeats the ( Read more... )

Ok, so I know you're all busy... it's HALLOWEEN for crissake, and if there's ONE holiday that everyone I know will have plans for..that'd be the one.

But, in case you *don't* have plans yet, or maybe you just REALLY want to go to a Ren Faire for Halloween, I'll be performing at the New Hampshire Renaissance Faire and Samhain Festival (please ( Read more... )
