sooky, but with cute pigtails
Jun. 30th, 2005 12:12 pmpigtails:
high up today, by mr wolf's repeated request.
fish:
trotsky died. in retrospect, calling him trotsky seems somewhat ill-fated.
capoeira:
excellent music lesson last night, playing berimbau - at which i managed to become at least somewhat adequate. then during the warm up session sudden shooting pain in my knee. hobbled over, massaged it a bit, no immediate improvement. very, very unhappy. had been looking forward to class a lot. frankly, the thought of having to miss capoeira for a while terrified/terrifies me - seems like capoeira and tending from mr wolf are the two main things keeping me healthy and happy right now. gringo came over to check on me and i was embarrassed 'cos i was crying. will see a doctor today. have made contingency plans, if necessary.
last night:
more beer and talk about politics - somewhat enjoyable, but less so than before. quibbling over semantics. but i enjoyed seeing a, and her perspective on indigenous issues and her life choices. plus, for bonus points, she danced around the living room with me (i was very insistent that i was going to dance, and that other people would too).
sparring with s, barefoot with my skirt hitched up - a bit of capoeira, then slipping into savate. turned around and realised that all of l's friends were watching through the window. kept going anyway - enjoyed myself a lot. felt good and it was later reported to me that it looked "really cool". (doubts about that.)
saw mr wolf's brother, and had a pleasant chat with him, and a hug goodbye. made me happy.
looking forward to:
dinner with mr wolf
swing dancing
festival junina (aberdeen tonight! all should come! excellent brazilian music!)
capoeira tomorrow - big roda in the city, plus if i can't go to class i'll practice instruments a bit
beverages (water and tea both sound like nectar of the gods right now, and happily are perfectly accessible)
anansi boys
exciting updates, no?
