Sleeping for 11 hours on Saturday nights now appears to be the norm. It feels nice after Saturday rehearsal. Unfortunately, it really puts a damper on doing things on Sunday, like going to class on Sunday morning.
My life feels like an absolute mess right now. The good thing about time is that if you wait long enough, all decisions will be made for you. The bad thing is that the outcome might be undesirable.
Per above, I’ve been trying and failing to write another blog post. Failing to write these posts also appears to be the norm.
My fantasy team sucks. Dwyane Wade is deceptively terrible for FT%. Lesson noted for next year.
Sunday has become a very lazy resting day post Saturday rehearsals. Now, not only do my legs and feet cramp at night, but my shoulder is hurting, too. Why is Don Q so quick? Afternoon naps are kind of nice, though.
Saw Ballet San Jose’s Swan Lake last night. Will probably write something about it soon.
Went to see Stanford Dance’s The Body and What It Carries, which I thought was an interesting program. Two short thoughts. I feel like modern ballet is always trying to rediscover modern dance, but is less successful and less compelling to watch; I enjoyed the modern pieces a bit more. I think there is some happy medium somewhere, but it’s probably closer to the confines of classical vocabulary than some choreographers would like. Second, just how different it is between WB’s high school and Stanford’s undergrad dancers. A few years doesn’t seem so much these days, but different phases of life and maturity really show. I guess even most undergrads are in a different life stage than us. Growing old kind of sucks. May write a post about this at some point, too.
My reading queue is clogging up with Annotated Alice, Annotated HC Andersen, and Superfreakonomics. Will I ever get back to the Rabbit tetralogy?
Will I be able to go to Reno/Tahoe next weekend, or will it be all crazy weather? Also, not sure when I’ll be able to make it to SFB’s program 3 at this point…
Work is starting to get pretty serious, but I guess the workload still isn’t crazy.
Phenomenally good weather today. Life is warm. 🙂
I have no idea why “Ladle Rat Rotten Hut” has been invading my thoughts of late. One of those weird tricks of memory, I suppose, conjured from the depths of that Cognitive Psychology class that seems so long ago. Anyway, it’s pretty interesting: http://www.exploratorium.edu/exhibits/ladle/. Surprised that it’s one of the top autocompletes when you search for “ladle”.
Currently reading Cat’s Cradle. I haven’t read any Vonnegut in a while. One forgets how good certain authors are.
Ballet is hard. Why do I have no turnout to the back?
Superlatively excited about SFB’s program 2 tomorrow. Symphony in C melts my heart.
