Starting the day with an excellent step class, and then lifting for the first time in a while, and discovering that, no, you haven't actually lost very much strength: THUMBS UP!
Trying to practice some wushu after lifting, and totally screwing up the jumps, and even though you probably overexerted yourself doing all that other stuff first, it's still kind of a downer: THUMBS DOWN.
Getting free plane tickets to see your fambly, because your dad has frequent flyer miles that he needs to use: THUMBS UP!
Not getting to log on to WoW like you wanted, because you spent the whole bloody afternoon cleaning yourself and your house: THUMBS DOWN.
Going to fun birthday party and gorging yourself on cake and pizza: THUMBS UP!
Singing karaoke--and harmonizing while doing it, even--and playing DDR while at said party: THUMBS UP!
Giving people a ride to the movie theatre, only to get a flat tire while puttering around the parking lot: THUMBS DOWN.
Seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and watching Johnny Depp act like a crazy man: THUMBS UP!
Having cool people from work help you with changing the flat tire, because even though you know, in theory, how to change a tire, doing it in the pitch dark when the lug nuts are screwed on ridiculously tight is not exactly ideal: THUMBS UP!
Missing out on a juicy, medium steak because it was probably 1am after you put on the spare and got home, and everyone was asleep: THUMBS DOWN.
-------------
So yeah, overall, I had a good day. :) The flat tire kind of ticked me off, but it didn't cause me to panic or anything, so it could have been much worse. Also, I have clean clothes and a clean kitchen, and I half-watched some random stuff on the Biography channel, so the cleaning wasn't too dreary.
As for today? I'm going to play WoW, because I didn't get to yesterday! Thumbs up! But, I should probably try to tidy up *something* in my office, first, because it's still a big mess in here. Oh, and that's a big Thumbs Down.

Date: 2005-07-18 07:37 pm (UTC)As for Taiji, I'm not sure where it's going to take me. I am training with a guy who takes a traditional approach, so it's going to toughen me up, at least! At the very least, I want to gain some structure and flavor that I can try and apply in wushu. Best case scenario would involve me entering a Taiji event when I compete again next year, but I'm not placing any bets on that yet. ^^;
WoW was fun yesterday! :D Winkle is now 27 and Bobble is 19. W00t!
