what a difference half a day's sleep makes
Apr. 6th, 2009 04:51 pmTook today off from work and I am very glad I did. I slept about 12 hours last night. On decongestants I feel nearly normal (though I am starting to get somewhat perturbed by how long this illness is lasting). And I'm not anywhere near as sore today as I thought I would be, though dance class tonight will still be interesting. As will be getting there in the pouring rain.
Usually I never see these things until it is too late, but I think I was the first person to jump on Michelle Joyce's offer of a free copy of Ballet for Belly Dancers on Bhuz. Her post is in The Rest, if other bhuzzers are interested. The trailer looks really good. I'm not particularly interested in ballet as such but it looks like a good series of exercises and very complimentary to the way I dance. Many of the dancers I am influenced by have ballet training and I think it shows indirectly in my dancing, so getting some of that training directly would be helpful. Yousry Sharif mentioned yesterday that when he was taking folkloric dance classes as a child and adolescent, the students all took ballet classes as well, not to learn to perform ballet but for the training and conditioning it provided. So, I'm rather excited to get my free DVD.
Another thing Yousry said yesterday, when asked about it, was that in his mind what makes a great dancer is "knowledge and hard work." I want to write that out all fancy-like and frame it and hang it up on the wall.
Dollhouse continues to improve, I'm glad to see. I found myself really caring about Victor and Sierra this last episode. Also, I will be very annoyed if Sarah Connor Chronicles is cancelled. It's good stuff.
