alonewiththemoonNicole Kidman has been cast to play Mrs. Coulter in The Golden Compass--I think that's the first piece of unqualified good news I have yet to read about the upcoming film adaptation.
Dancing last night went pretty well. The Nourhanne song (Eta'alim) is a keeper for sure. I thought my drum solo was a scattered mess, but on the way back to the car M said he really liked my drum solo, so shows what I know, I guess. I don't know what bands were playing in Central last night, but the drunk testosterone levels were a little out of control. Nothing in the restaurant, mostly, but more people outside the window. Usually the crowd outside the window are Zuzu hipsters having a cigarette, and they make a nice kind of secondary audience. Last night, though, bleh. I got tipped by a teenage girl who is just learning about belly dance and was all starry-eyed all night watching the dancers, so that more than made up for anything else. Plus it was very nice to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm sore from yoga class but in a way that makes me feel stronger. No "adventurous" poses yesterday, but a lot of focus on really grounding and integrating some basic poses, and that is just as strenuous in its own way. I have a big old bruise on my right thigh from a wild leap I made to escape a Park Street cockroach* on Friday; although it ached during class, I think stretching it out has helped keep it from getting too bad.
*not only did I whack my leg on a railing, but I yelped, too. No dignity whatsoever. But it ran right at my sandeled foot!
