thankfully, tomorrow was another day

Today was a day that rolled along more or less smoothly. I got things done in a competent manner, problems were resolved, tickets were purchased, and I am full of relief.

So, here are other things on my mind:

For those watching SYTYCD - is it just me, or is this a season full of talented dancers given very little of interest to do?

I am actually not reading A Dance of Dragons. I read the first three books, and then the wait sort of killed my interest. Am pondering not bothering with the rest of the series, as I feel its window for me has passed.

The newest Harry Dresden book suffered from having the action plot shoehorned in where a quieter, more reflective, more relationship-heavy plotline wanted to be. There was some of that, but it kept getting elbowed aside by the kerblooey. It wasn't a bad book, I just wanted more beefy interpersonal stuff.

I really want gummi bears right now. But I am not going to get any.

I also want to make my own halvah, so I don't have to stalk the co-op to buy theirs (which includes banana chips, chocolate chips, and crasins, and is terribly delicious). If you happen to be sitting on an awesome halvah recipe, please share. I'm a new addict.

Anyway, off to aikido.

The SYTYCD choreography has sucked this season. I feel like most of the good routines feel like retreads of old routines, and so much of the rest is just boring. It seems like some of the best choreographers from past seasons are either completely uninvolved this year or have only done a few pieces.

It really has. I've been unimpressed with some of the choreography from the Old Reliables, really. The only dance that truly stands out in my mind is Sasha/Twitch.

I'm loving a Dance with Dragons, but only because I started the series a couple months ago. I can barely keep some characters straight as it is, I can't imagine waiting 6 or 7 (?) years for the next installment and then trying to pick up where I left off. But it IS a good book, if more horror than fantasy in some chapters.

Cool that you are still doing aikido! I was wondering.

When do you leave for DC?

I may yet pick it up, but I'll have to plow through the two inbetween books I haven't read yet, and I don't know...

I am still doing aikido! Going to test for my orange in a few weeks, yipes.

Leave for DC late next week.
