batskeetsI got my first actual broadsword battle scar on Friday! I hadn't practiced it in a while, so I was running the form rather sloppily at practice and I cut myself at the base of my palm. Now I have a band-aid across the inside of my wrist, and I keep getting lame jokes from people about how I shouldn't be making suicide attempts. ;p
Had fun hanging out at Jameson's later on with the Friday Field Trip crew... good conversation and hilarious antics. I eventually bugged out after a couple of hours, and dozed off while trying to watch Thank You For Smoking, which seems like it'll be a good movie... we're going to attempt to watch it again tonight, hopefully.
Saturday was relaxed and groovy. Me and Ben went on a long-ish bike ride along the river, and stopped in at Barnes & Noble for a bit to peruse the shelves and have some tea. I made peanut sauce later that evening to go with some noodles and veggies, and it turned out okay, but not quite as well as I'd hoped... what I really need to do is get hired at Tasty Thai, learn how to make their peanut sauce, and then quit. ::rotfl:: Watched the new BSG ep after dinner, and just, gah! Best. Show. EVER.
The wushu demo on Sunday was not actually at Reed, so we were apparently misinformed. It was actually at this huge Vietnamese church in NE Portland. They jerked us around a lot on our performance time, first by saying they might cancel the performance, then by saying we had to be there an hour earlier than they'd originally stated, and they told us this at a time when we'd *barely* have enough time to make it there from Eugene, if we left right at that moment... eep! Fortunately, they ended up pushing it back half an hour, so we did get to perform and get paid and all that. We got a good crowd response, and nobody got injured! It was Christine and D-Wu's first demo, too, and they did great for their first go. :)
Also awesome: I had time yesterday to fix and spruce up some stuff on the photography website, and cranked out a totally genius layout for a different website redesign... I've been feeling lately like I'm in sort of a design rut, but this gives me hope that I may break out of it soon.
I got some finished photos back from my shoot Sunday before last... some are posted here, and he'll be doing more edits over the next week or so. I friggin' *love* some of these. Eehehehee!
Anyhoo, that's all I've got. My to-do list is looking a lot shorter as of right now, so I might be able to work on some fun projects this week, or play some WoW, or some other relaxing thing. :)
