Cat's News: July 2011

I saw a sad thing today. In front of the tire of a parked car, a sparrow was lying on its back, fluttering its wings and kicking its feet. Though it struggled mightily, it was unable to right itself. I noticed that its head seemed to be stuck twisted around to one side, and its tail was mangled at the base. May you find safer travels in the next life, little sparrow. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dances with Sun Beams. A haphazard collection of thoughts on the many joys of dancing. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. OMG Lisa Zahiya is amazing. She's beautiful, passionate, and incredibly skilled. I learned so much, my brain hurts. Here's hoping I can remember it all for future use. By the time we got to this workshop, my feet were killing me. We did two short combinations, to different pieces of music, and she asked us how they felt. It really underscored the different attitudes that hip hop can car...The f...

Dances with Sun Beams. A haphazard collection of thoughts on the many joys of dancing. Sunday, May 8, 2011. We also worked with jo (short staff)! Translation: I got to play with a stick! There was a kyu testing after the seminar, which was very interesting to see, and immediately relevant to me. I got to see what my very next belt test will look like. It's pretty intimidating. Hopefully I'll be ready to test soon! Sunday, May 1, 2011. I've recently taken up Aikido with Gleason-sensei at Shobu Aikido.

Cat's News: Park Place
http://catofalltradesnews.blogspot.com/2012/03/park-place.html
We decided on a name for our house. It is still in renovation. We're still crammed into four little rooms on the first floor, but we have storage now in the barn and in the basement, so we've gotten ourselves settled a little more comfortably. I'm looking forward to the end of spring, when we'll hopefully have the second floor finished. Fingers crossed. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dance Code. Live. Love.

Honestly Maldives, Part 3: Fishing Adventures. 700 per day, pay in advance via wire transfer. Fishing whenever you want, room and full board, optional snorkeling. Try it out, it's pretty cool. To get to our fishing adventure with Village Holidays Maldives. First we needed to get out of MLE. Our host, Mohamed Latheef. Met us at the international arrivals exit and took us to the local departures area. We got on a tiny propeller plane to Maamigili's formerly-international airport. At last, we got going....

Cat's News: Honestly Maldives, Part 5: Impressions
http://catofalltradesnews.blogspot.com/2014/11/honestly-maldives-part-5-impressions.html
Honestly Maldives, Part 5: Impressions. Once the excitement of being in a new country stopped being so overwhelming, the poverty of the place settled in like an oppressive blanket over my mind. It reminded me in a visceral way of the hutongs and dirt villages in the poor parts of China. The boys were very boisterous and frequently greeted us with hollered "Hello!

Dances with Sun Beams. A haphazard collection of thoughts on the many joys of dancing. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I dream of Manson. Choreography for this has been really slow - I started working on it months ago, and it's still not done yet - but I showed what I had to my current dance instructor and one of the girls in class, and they both seemed to like it. My instructor has. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Middle east restaurant and club. I dream of Manson.

Dances with Sun Beams. A haphazard collection of thoughts on the many joys of dancing. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. I found a new teacher! Her name is Melina, and she is a belly dance and aerials instructor (among other things). So far I'm really enjoying it, but the 2 classes I attended before the holidays were mostly concentrating on preparing the choreography for the recital. After the long break, I'm eager to go back and see what classes are like when we're not preparing for a show.

Cat's News: Honestly Maldives, Part 1: Summary
http://catofalltradesnews.blogspot.com/2014/10/honestly-maldives-part-1.html
Honestly Maldives, Part 1: Summary. My husband and I decided to visit the Maldives. Looking on Google Image Search, I found photos of beautiful beaches, small islands, clear waters, and adorable little cabanas built right on top of the water. I was excited. The fishing was tough for me. My husband enjoyed himself, but I was pretty seasick. It was hot and sunny, and there wasn't a whole lot to do, especially in the mornings when we were mostly trolling. On the way back to Male, we took a sea plane. It...

With a door and everything! Only the walls don't go all the way up to the ceiling, so aside from visual privacy, the overall privacy is still quite poor. Plus the doors don't lock anyway. But I shouldn't complain. I have all my crap that I need, plus a bonus door I can close, and bonus lights I can choose to turn on or off. Good enough! The Tyranny of Stuff. This would have been it. Happily, all our stuff does in fact fit into our new apartment (at least, by volume). We've successfully deployed 4 of 5 bo...
