dance-y stuff

went westie dancing last night. i was able to dance a bit without screaming, so that's good. *grin* but my back is a big ouch now, gotta pop some more tylenol...

several people came up to me last night, and told me they were impressed at how well i did in the choreography workshop last weekend. i'm so flattered, i can't even stand it! my absolute dream is to do a whole choreographed routine some day... so having people say that i can pull it off, means i'm not deluded. :) the coolest thing is, next week, in bill cameron's advanced class, we're going to start working on the process of choreography ourselves... we're going to pick a song as a class, and then break pieces of it down each week to see the possibilities. eventually we'll perform our routine at one of the tuesday night dances. whee!

hurricane aftermath

the unbearable sadness from hurricane katrina continues... and now, all i can think about is everyone's pets. my heart is breaking. all those poor cats and dogs that had to be abandoned... and that poor boy who had his dog with him, and they made him leave it chained to the side of the highway when he got evacuated... god. it's awful enough that so many people have lost their homes and loved ones, to then add the horror of all those poor lost or dead animals.

i can't stop hugging my cats.
