Petite Jamilla kicked my ass last night. She makes everything look so fluid and easy. She's a great teacher, just need more time with the combinations and choreography. I am glad to have had some tribal fusion drills in the past because they re-appeared last night and it made things much easier to go "oh yeah, I've done this already".
I am not doing very well right now but thank you to everyone who had something kind to say, publicly and privately. I doubt I will ever talk about this publicly as I feel it is intensely personal between S and I, part of the fabric of our relationship now I guess, but the support still means a lot.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that White Cowbell Oklahoma is playing Toronto Dec. 14th. They put on the best live show I have ever seen. So....I hope the following people will be able to make it: keeponrawkin and oldschoolsoul because I have never met you and I know you like rockabilly, and suddenly_subtle because I promise you will enjoy yourself and I miss you.

I miss Toronto. A lot. I should come visit sometime. When classes aren't crazy and I have money. I could totally use doing some shopping, I have no winter clothing.
It seems as though I have an unwelcome lurker visiting here regularly. I can only speculate as to why - it has been over a year now since I last had anything to do with her.
I don't want to have anything to do with her ever again, and I'm sure she feels the same about me.
So from here on out I'll be members-only... Read More
- Went to Nuit Blanche last night. It was interesting, but way busier than I thought it was going to be. I did a lot of walking. I'm glad I went, but I was also happy to get home and fall into bed.
- Frustrated with certain things job-wise, but I can't control everything, right?
- October is shaping up to be a busy month:... Read More
I am excited as I have a solid idea for a backpiece that I need to sit on for a few months at least. I came across this artist: Rob Coutts, who seems to do exactly what I am looking for.
Check out his portfolio....the guy is amazing.
Work has been crazy. I have not been sleeping as well as I should - I... Read More
Nope, I take Jazz and African Jazz. I also recently tried one class of ballet and one class of contact improv, though I don't usually take them.
I love the jazz and african jazz... both of my instructors are really excellent. Ballet is so pretty when I see it done professionally, but when I try it myself it's pretty, yet a bit tedious, and I just can't get into the rhythm of the music. The contact improv was really interesting; I'd never done anything like that before. The I can compare it to is movement warmups for acting classes, only different and for a whole hour and a half.
I also love contra dancing; I haven't been in ages but it's so fun!
There is so much on my mind. I have been waking up and having the first thing pop into my head be something that isn't complete at work. At least I am not yet losing sleep, but once my mind starts going on something I can't fall back asleep in the mornings. I just sit there and worry, worry, worry.
Tony died if you ask me, and not only did i think this upon actually watching it but def after reading all the articles and interviews with the creator and what not. how have we not talked about this sooner
I have not had any motivation to update, and I haven't really had time. I should feel really stressed from work, but I actually feel pretty good. I think Cuba is still with me.
- seeing ratatouille next weekend and I'm so excited. I saw 1408 last weekend and it was ok. The first bit had me going the way Boogeyman had me going. I'm... Read More
If you apply a bunch of pressure to the spot immediately after having your blood taken, it reduces your chances of bruising/the size of your bruise. You have to do that for a couple of minutes afterwards though.
I bruise easily and right now I have a ton on my legs, just from sleeping on a semi-hard surface during East Coast camping.
