Le weekend, plus some

[e_juliana]

Went up to the Golden Haven Hot Springs Spa in Calistoga with debg, pix_kristin, and fashionista_35. Deb and Barb's generosity made it possible for me to go, and I am profoundly grateful for it. (Side note: I had never seen the words "Motel & Spa" used on the same sign before.) We all had spa treatments - I got a cheapy, the mini-facial, but it was still nice. The best bit

Sunday was definitely fraught. Something in the ozone.

You are NOT invisible in SF. But I'm the least qualified person on earth to tell anyone they aren't invisible, and I may have the least right.

But you're not.

[e_juliana]

You have as much right as anyone, and thank you.

Yes, Sunday was fraught. Too bad, too. It was a nice weekend.

[debg]

Thinking we need to do that again, a) when the weather's a bit warmer, and b) with a bit more money to play with.

BTW, did you ever hear back from D and J, re Saturday night?

[e_juliana]

What about hapkido annoyed you?

I love my blinvisible friends!

Hey there. Here's hoping you find your people, soon. You've done so much in such a short amount of time... I am confident you will find your theater peeps this spring.

Re: B5- it's SO arc-y, and the payoff isn't till, like the 3rd and 4th seasons, but seasons 1 and 2 push the arcs along. There's definitely payoff from even back in the beginning, but there's a fair amount of patience and commitment till you get to the real Good Stuff. If you like, I can get Tom to compile a list of the Season 1 eps that you need to see before moving on to season 2... then at least you can cut the stand alones and dumb ass/cheesy eps.

But it may not be your cup o' tea at all, and that's cool too.

Take care.

Thank you.

B5 - someone else said it was Shakespearian. Oddness. I'll give it a few more episodes, and see. I'd love to hear what Tom thinks I should watch.

Again, thank you sweetie.

Oh lordy. I TOTALLY think you would rock with the Martial Arts thing. Then you and the P could swing at each other or Wire Fu when we visit.
It's so early -- I can't wait to hear about your first show, your first real SF love, your first ....everything. It'll all come to you. Soon. And I am all jealous of the spa.

You will never be forgotten here, silly girl.

XOXOX

Audit

[scoundrel01]

Check out some schools and audit a couple of classes b4 going. See what you are into: Aikido, Ju Jitsu, Judo? (Grappling) Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do? (Striking/Kicking). Do you want a more traditional style, or something with pure street applicability? Watch the intensity level too. If they are doing stuff that makes you say "Fuck No" then stay away. (I went to a mixed martial arts school where they were bare-knuckling from the get go. I was...non-plussed)

Anyway, I checked out a dozen or so schools b4 settling on mine. It pays to shop around.

And yeah. Doi. You are far from forgotten.

Re: Audit

[e_juliana]

I want something with street applicability, but also something that reminds me that I know how to move with a modicum of grace and/or agility.

*mwah* Love you.

[e_juliana]

I do want some martial art training. Actually, I want fighting training - street-applicability is preferable.

I hope it's soon. I'm getting impatient, and I feel like I'm floundering as I'm looking for theater gigs. Meh.Thank you.
