CAPOEIRA!Since my cessation of studying kung fu, there has been a void in my life that can only be described as "a lack of martial arts training." I heard about Capoeira from a fellow student whilst in Japan, and immediately decided I must learn it. It's like kung fu x CRAZY. Stuff like handstands and butterfly kicks--things I would have started ( Read more... )

50 books, quizzes/memes, capoeira

I am 80% certain you have a bet with one or more of your friends and acquaintances on how soon I would jump on the Ghostbusters reference in this post title.

Never one to disappoint, behold, here am I.

Sup.

good flick, people

Capoeria is the art of martial dancing, also known as "A Great Way For Aaron Richelin Melnick To Make A Fool of Himself".

I'm totally not even lying when I say he challenged SOMEONE(can't remember who) to a fight and then tried to do capoera at them in Middle or High School.

Lolercakes. Whenever that was, I totally missed it.

Oh! Is that the Brazilian dancing martial arts thing? My-best-friend-Josh told me about that! It seems like way awesome.
....I dunno if I would want to do it. I like standing still in my horse...XD But, who knows, maybe after some more years in KF. :D

Also, homg Jennifer Gov't! I need to read that!

And here's another long book for you: Earth by David Brin. I'm about a third the way through, and it's awesome. Uh, my-best-friend-Josh actually got it for me and made me read it. And it's awesome. >D

Isn't it amazing how 300-page books seem so very short after you've been reading multiple 700-page epics?

Hee! Remarkably.

I admit I haven't been following your 800-books-marathon but I need to know:

Have you read any Neal Steaphenson?

:\ Never heard of 'im.

I'll have to try this Capoeira stuff sometime. Sorry I couldn't go with you.

Also, I do have Max Barry's other 2 books if you'd like to read them. Syrup's an even shorter read than Jennifer Government. I've read it at least 3 times since getting it earlier this year, including reading it in its entirety today.

Also, I'm certain I've read at least one of Maria Irene Fornes's plays, but I can't remember what it was.
