I rejoined the gym and it's just not a great notion for me these days. It is right there by work, but it turns out going more than twice a week is really never going to happen... going once is a victory of sorts. And that is NOT cost-effective, especially when it turns out you don't have a chance to go every week ( Read more... )

Backtracking to what I wrote yesterday about the busy weekend...
( Adventures in preschool land )

• My measure of success this evening was getting from 32% to 51% on an impossibly hard Dance Central song. I'm actually rather proud of that. I just hope that I magically make the game judge decide I am within the parameters of success next time. 
• My birthday is in a few weeks and I have no idea what I want to do to commemorate this occasion. 37 is a ( Read more... )

The Exquisite original dance instructor, who moved to Chicago, then almost immediately to California was back this week and if all goes well, may find a job. We got together with a small group  of the former Monday night group at noire 's house for chatting and food. It really was a special experience, that Monday class. Turns out one of our alum- who ( Read more... )

It'd been a very long while since I went to Bollywood dance. I signed up for a drop-in for tonight through the website, and yet- when I got to the studio, I got The Look. You know, the one that you get when you're not expected. In this case, because there is no more Bollywood class. However, the Wunderkinder didn't think to disable the bit where ( Read more... )

Sent a final (for now) email to dance studio. After the number of last minute or unannounced cancellations, I don't have the energy to deal. This is frustrating. I'm also concerned, but without further info, mostly irritated.

Yak and Yeti: Tibetan/Indian food in Ball Sq. Kind of light on the TIbetan food side, but tasty. Their medium-spicy is more like a low-grade hot.

Tai Chi at World Rhythms: quiet_elegance  really likes it! Yay! I enjoyed it, too, but can't dedicate another night to a class (time and money) The guy who instructs, Adison, is made of mellow. His grace is staggering ( Read more... )

Next week World Rhythms Dance Studio is having a week of open studio classes. Come check them out and hopefully sign up for more. They could use the break of new folk after a few months of some unpleasant struggling. Check out the schedule.

So, I feel like most of what's going on at the moment feels kind of negative.
-weather
-mood (this not unrelated to the first point, I think)
-project at work. Access is not my friend.
-dance class- or possibly lack thereof.  It's this last one that's really causing me to want to document, though. This week the core students showed up only to discover ( Read more... )

I was half way through my first mojito when I got a text that lovely ladies were getting together for drinks on the other side of town. Toooo late! asciikitty  and I were already snarking and drinking. Dance With Me (1998)--- augh. What plot?! I watched it because doeeyedbunny  said that SYTYCD choreographers were extras/support cast. The writers decided there need not ( Read more... )
