Yesterday was cool. Instead of the yearly dinner, I finally managed to go see the Shaolin Warriors performance. shadaelis, you missed a good thing (knew you weren’t there because I didn’t hear the heckling of victims). Anyway, the performance was wonderful. It was very cool to watch them, and know exactly what they were doing. Before every stunt (I mean the ones that involve pain to the mundanes), they did the wheel of elements, to balance. Knowing that brought me a greater appreciation to my instructors at school. At one point, I was even walking the wheel with them, getting a poke from my Scotsman. The first half of the performance was kind of annoying. Two of the kids behind me wouldn’t shut up, almost reached back and choked one. My Scotsman thought that would be funny. Instead, during the first part of intermission, we laughed as they bemoaned the guy who was clapping a cheering at everything they did. All the while, commenting about rude people who interrupt the performance with loud noises, while looking at them. After that, I got up and walked to one of the staff and complained. We were moved closer to the stage. The second half was much more enjoyable, more polite people who paid enough for their tickets for them to shut up. Then off to a nice dinner next door. At some point, I’ll have some ruminations on the whole experience (not including the chatterboxes, who’s parents would not explain etiquette to them).

What’s up with today? Today? Work, I’ll be doing that all week, and slowly writing about it in thehodgeroom. On the way home, my temp gauge on my car bolted. Took me over an hour to get home and now I’m pissed. Oh well, at most, a week and a half more before this car goes bye bye. I’ve got a bit of paperwork to do to finalize my loan, but all is well and all is good. I will have a new car soon!
