After weeks of practice and a slam-bang-extravaganza weekend, I’m finally done with the bellydance show.
The show was a lot of fun–this time around it was at the Lion King (a big nightclub) instead of the cultural center. We danced on the dance floor, which is wooden and floor level. It was kind of like we [...]

This weeks has gone by, incident free, except for half-a-dozen or so encounters that went something like this.
(I bump into someone)
Me: Hey! What’s up?
Them: Hello…So…I read your blog …<disgusted look/knowing smile>
Me: Oh, yea?
Them: Yea. <cringe> Are you feeling better? <step backwards> That sounded pretty nasty…
1: For the record, I did put a disclaimer on [...]

I’m constantly water drunk and I never ever feel hydrated.
Also, I got a new, metal water bottle because apparently Nalgenes cause some horrible slow-poisoning-gal-bladder-exploding-mutant-fish-child illness. Do you know anything [...]
The Plan
Posted in Uncategorized on March 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Here is my plan:
1: Finish learning Chinese. And speak it, like, REAL well.
2: Re-Learn German–uber fluently.
3: Move to the EU.
4: 2 and 3 are pretty much reversible.
