Weekend SitRep
Fri, 2:16: Just teaching class and Advance KB as usual. I picked up Wii Play before going to class and popped it in that night. I really like the pool game that comes with it, I really wish it had a darts game too... I guess I'm going to have to buy Wario Ware at some point JUST for the darts game XD unless they come out w/ a Clubhouse Games type game on the Wii...
Sat, 2/17: Class in the morning as usual, and then I drove up to the Bellingham area for faelcind's bday. He wanted to have friends over to do Parkour for the weekend, so that's what we did. Sort of. I got there late, between going to class first and traffic being ass, and missed the part I was most looking forward to, going to Larabee State Park :/ all the pics I've seen of it look really beautiful and fun to play on... and I had just gotten my energy back when I finally arrived ^^;;
But, since I was late, I just joined everyone at faelcind and attackbunny's place to hang out. faelcind and I did some sparring and I drilled him a bit on KB before dinner, while Sam and Jeremy went to do some Parkour. When they got back we headed out for Thai. After that was more hanging out and then Jeremy and I headed to our hotel.
Sun, 2/18: This time I made it out for a lil' Parkour, though it was not nearly as nice a day as it was on Saturday (read: it was colder), so it was kinda limp Parkour. But it still made my legs sore the next day. I think a big contributor to that was the jogging we did from spot to spot... I need to get the running back in, it's been way too long. Also, I think I just need to practice broad jumping more. I want to mention that we played some Apples to Apples and I got a point for putting down Terrorist Attacks for Patriotic XD Jeremy and I headed back southwards mid-afternoon and decided to pick up some food fixins to cook at his place and watch some movies.
I finally got to see Oldboy. That is just about the most fucked up movie I have ever seen, and I think that I will ever see. I really don't know how you could make a more fucked up movie without it starting to become comedic from hyperbole. I actually figured out the main revelation about the main character very early on, but the director did a very good job of making sure you still felt the pangs of its fucked-uped-ness regardless. Well, maybe not so much "figured out" as considered "ok, what would I do to maximize how fucked up this could be"... Man, thinking about the movie still makes me shudder. So, of_the_woods, I'm curious why the fight scene in the hallway made you think of me? I *did* like it, but now that I've seen the movie, I'd like to hear from you.
To mitigate the fucked-uped-ness of Oldboy, we watched a bunch of Monty Python's Flying Circus. I certainly have not done enough of that. "Intercourse the penguin!" XD
Mon, 2/19: Headed out to lunch at a nice lil' deli near Jeremy's place before heading home. Chilled at home for a few hours before heading out with Sasha and Eric to martial arts class. I've finally been able to get Sasha back in class and now we're trying to drag Eric back in. He really seemed to like it, I hope he'll start regular once his work schedule clears up.
Upcoming junk
So, damndirtycrane brought up the fact that it's been awhile since there's been a dim sum outing. I think some of that may have to do w/ how I've been restricting my diet, but I should be able to figure something out. If I suggested we got to China Gate on Sunday, 3/4 for lunch, who would be up for it? I hope someone from Lakewood/Tacoma, so I can carpool and save on gas ^_^
Also:
Sat, 2/24: D&D
Sun, 2/25: Sakura Con Japanese Guest Relations and friends party, and climbing at Stone Gardens
Sat, 3/3: UFC?
Sat, 3/10: Cousin's bday
Fri, 3/23 to Mon, 3/26 (or more?): Roadtrip to SF for damienroc's bday. uriel_godfire and wooko, you better be coming with me.
Need to fit D&D in on one of the free Sundays. Also need to plan another anime night. Maybe 3/17? Or 3/3 if UFC falls through.
