batskeetsOkay, so reading Xanga and MySpace lately causes me to ask: has every freaking Asian person in the state of California served as an extra on the set of Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift?! Makes one wonder why they didn't just shoot on location. ;p
So, yeah, I missed posting yesterday. I'm effin' busy!
Monday night was karaoke with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divadrummer! That was hellafun. The venue was pretty good. The rotation was longer than I'd have liked, and there was a bar fight at one point, but the song selection was really good, and the DJ was very on top of things. Also, one of the karaoke night regulars actually had the gonads to get up there and do B.Y.O.B by System of a Down, and that was friggin' awesome.
The only real bummer of the evening were that we signed up for a duet and didn't get to do it, and the key was totally off from the original recording when I attempted to do We Are The Champions. (the DJ pitched it up for me, but it still wasn't high enough to match the original) Still, we both kicked some ass on the songs we did get to do, so woohoo!
Wushu practice on Monday was hellafun, too. We're kind of experimenting with things right now, because it's Dead Week and the attendance is going to be spotty, so we went to the mat room and tried some crazy jumps. I tried to break down how to do the inside fall, but most folks were kind of too scared to do it right. David was trying to break down butterfly twists, too, so I tried one and landed square on my butt. XD I think I was doing it rather half-assed, because I strained my hamstring a bit last Friday, but eh, who knows.
I *still* can't get myself to not chicken out on aerial cartwheels, either, but my cartwheel with hands is getting pretty good, so maybe I'll actually get over that fear before I die. That's the irritating thing about this: a lot of it is about just committing to the friggin' jump and going full-out. You hesitate because you think you're going to land on your face, and then you land on your face *because* you hesitated.
Anyhoo, I should be off, because there's work to be done. (as always)
P.S. I'll take some haircut pictures soon, hopefully. When that happens depends on A) how much time I have over the next few days (read: not a whole dang lot) and B) whether or not my busted-ass camera will actually work long enough for me to take a few.
