Holy crap. For the second time in my life I sang karaoke. Twice. I sang "These boots are made for walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra and "You ought to know" by Alanis Morisette. At the top of my lungs. With a really bad cold. After three beers.
I am Queen of the universe.
That is all.

I think I passed the aunt test last night. We had dinner at Typhoon. Due to Simon's directional problems they were half an hour late and I had already memorized the menu and was on my second glass of wine. We chatted and had a nice time. She has a thick creole accent that's thicker than Simon's mother's. You see, Simon grew up on the Seychelles islands until about age seven when they moved to the states. Seychelles is located in the Indian Ocean between Africa and India. The food is mainly African and Indian but there is a strong French and British influence due to multiple colonizations. The official language is Seselwa Creole French, it's very musical to listen to. It�s interesting to hear Simon speak it on the phone with his grandmother. Luckily last night we conversed in English and Simon didn't try to get me to say stupid things in Creole like "I�m a pretty goat head" which is what he made me say to his grandmother when we went and visited last year.

Diana just notified me that Elliott Smith died. I went to Salon and discovered that he died of an apparent self inflicted stab wound to the chest. Holy crap! That is so very Roman. Who stabs themself in the chest these days? Stabbing yourself in the heart, what kind of symbolic statement is that. Will miss your menlancholy ways Mr. Smith.

Went to kung fu class last night. I decided to take it easy and go to the beginner class. It was a full hour of grappling. On hardwood floors. Mount position, oompah, guard, passing the guard, side mount and back to the mount position. Lots of sweating on other people. I kept grabbing one of the new girls to wrestle with. When you're a beginner it's less akward with another woman, plus I knew this drill and could lead her through the moves when she got stuck. Fun fun fun. But I'm paying for it today. Black knees, red shoulders and purple inner thighs. My shoulders hurt the worse, I'm pretty used to my knees being perpetually bruised.
Simon's aunt is coming in from California tonight. We have to pick her up from the airport and go out to dinner. Simon says I'm going to be under a lot of scrutiny. Whatever. Parents and relatives love me. I can ooze charm and intelligence when I need to. Here's to hoping I don't poke my eye out with chopsticks or dump red wine on her tonight.
I'm obsessed with the word Rhapsody: Exhalted or excessively enthusiastic expression of feeling in speech or writing.

Thanks to everyone who participated in yesterday's roll call. About 1/3 of the visitors played. If you're a day late and dollar short feel free to jump in today.
Last night was the second to last week of my improv training class. How sad! I'm really attached to a lot of the people in there, we have some really funny spontaneous people. A couple people who were painfully shy at the beginning of class are turning out to be the really funny witty ones, those who were completely awkward at the beginning of class are still awkward but maybe they have a little more confidence. I got one of the big laughs/groans/gasps for the night when playing a pregnant hitchhiker. I grabbed the invisible rear view mirror, tilted it down and said "Hey, does this look dilated to you?" It got a lot of laughs but if it had been a real comedysportz show I'd probably be wearing the bag over my head. Luckily they're running a seminar 1.5 through November and then 2.0 starts up, so I'll still have something to do on Monday nights. NPR this morning had an interview with Deborah Tanner and she was discussing laughter and how it's a very intimate thing and bonds people together. Maybe that's why I'll be a little bummed when this class is over.
To answer everyone questions from some of the comments yesterday�Jen, lurkers are always welcome. EveRoboto, don't worry, I won't steal your man away from you. Plus, you'd probably break an electric guitar over my head if I tried anything and Sifu hasn't taught me any guitar counters yet. Cherz, I do MoDukPai kung fu just like Tracy. You should come to open sparring in December (you're local, right?) for fun. Rachel, shall we do our normal bet of $20 at Amazon.com for whoever finishes first of whoever has the most words done by the end of the month? *cracks knuckles* I'm shooting for 40,000 words or finish this year. Diana, I agree completely, I think some lipstick therapy is definitely in order. Whitey, all right you're on! Get ready for some wicked monkey style kung fu behind/on the monkey bars. Wait that sounds like a joke, a monkey walks into a bar...

In case you were wondering Simon got his ribs at 9:30pm and the whole meal was comped. Plus the driver whined a whole bunch about how hard our house is to find. This is why we gave them clear directions over the phone. We're five blocks away from a highway, it's not that freaking hard to find. The pizza dudes have never had a problem. Stupid Tony Romas.
I got an e-mail from Sifu this weekend. He trying to tempt be back into training with a new uniform and some new fighting sticks. Oooo weapons! I need to get back to a regular training schedule. Simon's depression is dragging me down with him. Every time I hit a new low I think, well things can only get better and then I slip some more. I'm sure this how spontaneous human combustion happens. Some day there will be no kungfukitten, just a pile of ashes and some empty otomix martial arts shoes or a pair of ferragamo pumps. I haven't quite decided which.
Since it's Monday I'd like to ask for a roll call. I want EVERYONE who stumbles across my site today to leave a comment. Who are you? Do you have a website? How did you find me? Just say hi.
