It’s true.

As they saying goes… “It’s always something.”

Last Friday… went to the fair to shoot video of Tanjora doing their fire performance, only to have it start raining (and VERY cold) by the time their show time rolled around. So, of course, the sound techs for the fair said there was no way they were plugging in and turning on their sound equipment (because nobody wants to be electrocuted or blow out expensive equipment)… Still… the show must go on.

So Tanjora danced and spun fire and all sorts of things to the sounds of people drumming on the plastic chairs on the stage, playing finger cymbals, pounding on empty fuel cans, tapping with sticks… whatever could be found.

And you know… it was pretty cool. People even came out and stood in the drizzle to watch! (Of course, any time you see someone flinging fire around, it tends to grab your attention.)

And I got it all on video. Ok, except for the parts where the battery died (twice) and I had to switch out to another.

Saturday was a day of shopping. Found a $600 chair that I need to have. Ok, I need the $600 more… for other things, but still.

I sat in the chair for no more than a couple minutes and I felt SO GOOD when I got up. One of those iJoy chairs. (And really… am I not meant to have something like that? It has my damned NAME on it!)

Sunday… got up, got beautified, put leaves in my hair, and went back to the fair to dance with Ananka. It’s always a fun and relaxed show.

Then I had a meeting to get to after the fair, but it got cancelled. So… I slept a lot.

Monday… the new quarter started at school. Every day I have a 2 1/2 hour gap between classes. NOT quite enough to go home and get anything done… but long enough to sit around at school and get completely bored. Yes. I do try to get homework done during that time.

But… everyone ELSE in my classes has the gap as well, so we’re all sitting around together being bored. This leads to mischief. Today we’re going to go BBQ and play Halo. At least that’s the plan. If the meat ever gets here…

Yeah, so Monday… after school I had my annual physical. It’s a little late. But I need to get it done before I’m no longer insured.

I survived it. Still dislike the parts I’ve always disliked, but you know… I always hated being a girl.

Now, maybe moreso. Doc found something he didn’t like in the exam, so now I have to go have my chest smashed between plates and have an ultrasound of one. I’m not averse to the ultrasound part… but if my boobs are going to be smashed, I’d really rather not have it done by cold plates. This… is the absurd part mentioned in my post title.

Yeah. A little bit of worry here, but nothing to get too excited over yet. Appointment is on the 5th.

Tuesday I ditched dance class. Actually, I slept through it. Fell asleep at about 4, woke up some time that night… went back to sleep and slept through til 6:15 or so. That’s ok. They’re all preparing for two different shows this weekend, and I’m unable to be in either of them, so I don’t think I’m needed. I definitely needed the sleep. Sleeping a LOT lately. Probably the seasonal change. I’ll need to enact some countermeasures soon, so I don’t fall into depression or something.

Last night I had that meeting I was supposed to have on Sunday. Got a gig set up for a local Indian restaurant. They want dancing on Wednesday evenings. We’ll see how this goes. I’m going to see if I can switch it to Thursdays. That would work a lot better, since the people I would have fill in when I couldn’t dance have to teach on Wed.

Zipped over to rehearse with Suicide Lounge after the meeting… and one person wasn’t there. So instead we chatted, and listened to music, decided there are some other songs out there we could add to our sets, talked about they lyrics I’m still trying to write to RP’s melody, and ate REALLY really good food. (Because lecram always cooks the good stuff.)

Now I’m enduring the day while waiting for my virtual machines to finish setting up.
