So excited!

!!!

* people! i got confused last night, by how many people i saw whose real names i had to start using! it is hard to say "tiny monster" when you talk to someone! but, also, i don't care what They say about meeting people from the internet. last night was fun.

* performances! i didn't take out the drum kit, i didn't screw up too badly, plus i actually got to play some capoeira. (and despite all the people there, i was still so damn excited just to be playing.) more importantly, all the crazy capoeira demonstrations were excellent (d-my-capoeira-rolemodel's solo was hell wicked), and the samba, and the forro, and and and

* while the performances were wicked, the "vibe" (as you kids sometimes put it) was not really so great for dancing and hanging 'round, so afterwards we head off to the moon for snacks. and there were more internetty people, and they were also good! so good that we all went for sheesha together and accidentally stayed 'til 4am. (oops.) but it was worth it!

* and this morning i am like a little kid at christmas. got up at 9:15, too excited to sleep. batizado is at twelve. eep! and then i will be a green cord! wheee!

* on a non-capoeira related note....how does next friday sound for playing with haiku and such? maybe we will dress as beatniks? hands up...or alternate suggestions are accepted with glee.

* soon i will stop being so breathlessly excited! look forward to entries in the next few days with less ridiculous punctuation!





(wheeeeee!)

(no subject)

First off: thank you thank you thank you to all of you who came all the various capoeira events of the last few days. i think you are all excellent!

how do people who are interested in haiku and such feel about this plan:
come to my house (west perth) on friday night. you must pretend you are a beatnik. i am not sure what this involves, but it might be berets. i shall feed you, because i am delighted that you all gave me such excellent support this weekend, and made me feel special (of course feeding is the appropriate response to this, i'm greek). if you don't want to write stuff (not mentioning any names) you are still quite welcome to come. hands up?
alternatively, we could maybe go to the moon or aida or something, which could be fun too, i hear.

next:
books!
i did not like just like that, by lily brett. it was neurotic in a way that reminds me a little of don delillo, but while he seems to have an underlying sense of wonder and amazement the underlying feeling of just like that was fundamentally unpleasant. which may or may not have been her aim, but i didn't enjoy it.
i've also just finished nightwood, by djuna barnes. it was written in the 20s/30s, and has an introduction by t.s. eliot, which seemed to bode well. i am...undecided. i think i found it a little too pretentious, but then at times i was wavering on the edge of finding it hard reading, and odd, but still worthwhile. i think i'll need to reread it in a year or so and see how i feel then.

that is all!

oh! also:
I HAVE MY GREEN CORD! I AM SO FUCKING HARDCORE!!!!
