At kung fu, my deltoids got so tired that when I paused an exercise to reach up to scratch my nose, I found it took every bit of strength I had to get my hand to my nose. Phew!

So of course, a few hours later I worked it even harder by taking an advanced pole dance class. Despite my tiredness, I managed to do a lift/spin I've never been able to figure out before. Go team me....

On the weekend, I did a martial arts seminar where we covered some Wing Chun principles, then did knife fighting and kali stick exercises. We didn't have real knives, but used Crayola scented markers. I tried not to die, but took two killing wounds (one to the diaphragm, another right in the ear). My shirt was marked up all to hell, but not nearly as bad as some. I'm afraid I slaughtered the hell out of

lindalicious.

gha5t was trickier, but I did slash his jugular. Go team me redux.

I'm particularly fond of kali sticks, and really hope I can find someone to practice with.

Wanna?

I got the best drive-by compliment yesterday while walking to work. A guy on a bicycle zoomed by me, and when he stopped at the traffic light, looked over and said, "I hope you don't mind it when I say 'WOW!"

It put a grin on my face. So much classier than the guys who say things like, "Now that's what I call some grade-A pussy" (actually said to

snowy_kathryn a while back).

schwartzung introduced me to the music of Otep the other night, and all of a sudden, I find myself diving headfirst into metal. She's good. I can't believe the noises she makes.
