First must apologize to poor poor mitten. I'm sorry that I'd ever given you an ounce of worry. Sometimes I forget that people bother looking at this blog or my flickr account for that matter.
Suffice to say its a red flag that I'm not writing. I could blame it on the wonky network we've gotten in the apartment. Matt's been a star trying to get it to work. Of course, its a bit necessary for his work. Oh, I can blame the fact that I've been doing marketing gigs. I might get my mitts on one where I get to drive a convertible with STICK SHIFT!! **crossing fingers**
Then there's the dancing. I've been dancing ALOT. Till this weekend when my ankle's been rolled, not once, but twice. Now, my foot plain hurts. I can also blame the theater jumping with the Unicorn. I've seen all the summer's blockbusters in two days time.
So suffice to say, I've been busy but not taking the time to update properly. More later as my time here at the library is nearing the end....

.: Google Fan :.
I just want to puke my admiration here for the Google toys. So I'd been putting off really using my gmail account. I had prefered my Yahoo and its Calender. First, Jer introduced my to the Google Chat. So I started to stay online with gmail more. Hell, I even downloaded my address book into it.
Next, I discovered that the Google Calender is infinitely easier than the Yahoo Calender. I LOVE the pick up and drag feature. With my constantly changing plans, it comes in very handy. The quick entry feature is also handy for my lazy butt.
Then, just today, I discovered a feature that is going to have me completely ditch Yahoo. A long lost friend sent an email containing the phrase: "can do coffee in the hood sat. after 5." Then I notice that is an "Add to Calender". Click onto it and its filled out an event dialog box. From that short phrase, it placed the date and the location, "in the hood". Hehe, I could even map "the hood" if I needed.
Ok, I'm sure this has all been covered by mugsy or protaganist5 at some point.... What can I say, I'm a late geeker.

.: Me and Lil Joe :.
From what I can tell this is just a parliminary round. Its hard to believe that I've probably just introduced myself to this guy just moments before... and here we are rocking out.
He'd asked, "Do you do Slow Drag?" I had only heard the phrase after watching video of it in Charlie Fuller's presentation that day. All I'd say in response: "well, I follow." Next thing I knew, this guy is making me fly!
When I realized that he'd qualified for the finalsl, I was fairly certain that my name would be called for finals too. Between those two points I was praying to be matched up with Joe. I was and we'd won.
I look at this picture and I'm astounded that two random people can get together to dance. Seriously, partner dancing even at its most basic, is hard. Moving your body, moving another's body to music that can be interpreted so differently between the two dancers. Mash all that together in a split second. Interpret the dance and the music and still convey spirit. To be able to do that with a random person. Amazing.
More puke about dancing sooner.

.: Cheap Thrills Weekend :.
To think that there as a possibility that I wasn't going to go St. Louis this past weekendfor my first blues dance weekend....
Not going to grand detail here but I do I have to purge my memories. I've been finding myself trolling the internet for posts, photos, or video of the weekend. So my list of the weekend.
-"I almost ran over a squirrel...Gimme a nut!"
- You'd think that I'd learned my lesson about traveling in squished quarters
-I don't speak French fluently but my friends do....Ybur, Eyoeda, and Mihcaoj
- Peter Strom and I are the missing Jackson children
- Adeoye and I harmonize with Kim Massie:)
- Never knew how pissed off I could get in an instant...what's with crying in St. Louis?
- Shopping! " How much gay-er can we get?"
- Workshop - awsesome, learned alot, as a lead. Created new exercises with Ruby.
- Finally won a Jack and Jill with ma new swing crush, Lil Joe from Denver. That's us in the pic!
- A hot and sweaty late night in a yoga studio. Surprisingly ideal late night.
- Breakfast with the housemates.
- More workshops more awesomeness.
- Acting with Steven and Virginie
- Met quite possibly the most unenthused woman in the world.
- Met quite possible the only penis with a vagina in the world.
