Dancing

Sometimes something happens to turn me off of bellydancing. Then I go to class and think, "how the hell could I stop doing this?".

I really like the group I'm with and I love our teachers. I'm frustrated I think, because I can't devote the practice time I need to to the art to keep growing. I'm kind of stuck in a rut, but don't think I can do anything to get out of it until the semester is over. This one is the toughest ever and its really taking a lot out of me. The plan was to go to Ceremony last night to hear Bridget spin - right, like that was going to happen after going non-stop from 5:45 AM to 9:15 PM. Dammit!

After the semester is over I'll find a gym again - my body is really craving aerobic and weight-bearing exercise. Supplementing that with one or two dance classes a week would be a nice balance of exercise, art and meditation. One of these will be bellydance. I should be able to continue to study without getting sucked up into the "scene" or politics of it all. I'm determined, dammit!

On a music note, a woman at class last night danced to a really hauntingly pretty song with Lisa Gerard that's off of a new album - does anyone know what this album is? Thanks!

I did it!

I finally signed us up for a Netflix account. There are so many movies that I've been dying to see and haven't. We end up in the mood to watch a movie only to not have one, and aren't able to find anything good on cable. This is really neat!

The first selections include:
-Donnie Darko
-The Order (thriller/horror type movie with religious overtones, a guilty pleasure of mine)
-League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (yeah, I've heard bad things about this but we still want to see it anyway)

Do you have any suggestions of things that we must put on our list?
