I'll Stop Moving When I'm Dead

I got in a fight last night. I'd like to think I had the upper hand, but since my opponent was already shagged out from her prior two fights, I took it easy on her. At some point during our battle, she gave me a purple nurple. Yeow!

Kung fu was strenuous. I did front kicks across the field, up the steep Buchannen Hill, and back down and across. I'd never tried doing front kicks up or down a hill before. It's really very hard. My legs are suitably wobbly today, although biking up the hill to work was a breeze in comparison.

Justin from kung fu says he wants to go biking with me sometime. I'll have to schedule a daylong jaunt. I haven't been on a serious bike ride in a few years, and we might end up going out to the countryside. I should go get my bike tuned up beforehand.

When I got home from class, I watched the latest installment in the Hellraiser saga: Deader. It was far better a movie than I expected it to be. I wouldn't call it one of the best horror movies out there, but it did a good job of putting me in a creepy mindset, and at one point, it succeeded in making me yell in surprise. The bad points were the overuse of "arty" camera angles. When the camerawork is distracting from the story, that's just not a good thing. The other annoyance was the overabundance of gratuitous nudity. Honestly, I would have preferred more plot. It's much more interesting than softcore porn. Still, the acting is decent, and the story is interesting. That's not too shabby!

Theoretically, today is my day off from work. However, since extra hours were offered and I'm in my usual sore need of cash, I volunteered to come in for a half day. When I get home, I want to go to the gym and/or go kayaking. I haven't been to the gym in over two weeks, but I don't feel overly guilty since I have been doing all sorts of other exercise: biking, dancing, kung fu, kayaking, walking. I'm just finding it difficult to work around my schedule, and still fit in time for reading and being even a teensy bit social (although I'm not a terribly social animal).

Once upon a time, I didn't need to sleep very much. That did the trick. I used to be like Jordan in Real Genius: hyperkinetic.

I recently received a copy of Aruna's Dancer's Arms. I have a good feeling about this DVD. I can't wait until I have a chance to really try it out. So far, I've only had a chance to do about ten minute's worth of it, and that's not enough. Where are those extra hours, again?

My girlfriend and I used to get out our agression at each other with nerf-swords. She once attacked me while coming up the stairs. Supposedly you have a huge advantage in swordfighting if you're higher up, but somehow I could NOT hit her on oneven terrain. So either that's a myth, or I just need to get more used to fighting that way.

My husband worked on the 7th installment of the Hellraiser series. Maybe it was the one you watched last night? I dunno. Anyhow, on the set they had a special tent that "pinhead" would spend his time in when not shooting. The producers were very specific about the general public, or crew for that matter getting to see him mill around when not on set. You were not allowed to have pictures taken with him either. They were really strict about keeping up his scary mystique. Strange. I know his real name and what he like to eat.
