No Spring Chicken
So Sunday was my birthday. Woo woo! A whopping 24 years under my belt. I'm still not feeling any older, but isn't that generally the case? On Saturday night I went out with some friends to a concert (Dead Prez) and then out to SF to a club. We were trying to go to an afterhours club after 2am (most stuff shuts down then. I still don't get why), but at the door we were warned it was lesbian night. Now as hot as that may seem in one's mind, I often find that the lesbian of the mind and the lesbian of the street bear very little similarity, so I opted out. I did randomly run into a Princeton guy from the class of '03 that I knew that had been visiting SF for a week while waiting in the line. Our world. So small.

Jogo de Corpo
I had my first Capoeira class today. It kicked my ass big time. I'm pretty sure I have blisters on my toes from spinning around on them for an hour and a half. Incidentally, if you should happen to sign up for a "beginners" class of anything, be very wary. Of the 25 or so people there, I'd say 4 of us were actually newbies.  They just throw you into the mix and you try your best to keep up. I first got suspicious when the student instructor said I was brave for having signed up for the series of classes rather than just for a single class as a shopper. Ooh the soreness. I hope I can survive Thursday's ordeal.
