Its Wretched HOT!
A story to help warm my poor cold family members stuck in the snowy West.
The weather in Virginia has decided to shake things up a bit by jumping right into summer. No gradual spring thaw, that's for sissies. What we need is July. July hit on Friday, and temperatures having been hanging out above 80 ever since, giving us a chance to realize that something has gone horribly wrong with our AC.
But beyond sweaty, personal discomfort, the unusually high temperatures have wreaked havoc with the local vegetation. The plants are freaking out. In my head, they sound like this.
"Wait? Where did Spring go? We slept through SPRING?!! Ohmygosh! Whatwedo!Whatwedo!Whatwedo?! POLLINATE!!"
Now everything is covered in a thick yellowish-green powder. Every time I walk across the parking garage at my work, I look at the floor and all I can think of is my high school algebra class, where the board and teacher existed in their own personal cloud of chalk. Every time I open my car door, there's a dramatic swirl of yellow-green, like I'm living in a bad Sci-Fi movie. Its crazy. My nose has entered a permanently sneezing/dripping state, but I'm still better off than most people with allergies. Some of them are really sick.
I went to Krav last night, and it turns out the dojo is also having trouble getting their AC up and running to July capacities. I think I sweated out about 3 gallons worth of water. Today, I went and invested in some under armor workout gear. It wicks the sweat away! After drilling for the first half hour, we learned some new self defense moves which required a grab. That was interesting given how slippery everyone was at the point. Our instructor pointed out that learning how to fight/grab someone who was slippery was good training. After all, you could always get attacked in the rain. Or fight when bloody. Or when you just happen to be REALLY sweaty.
It was fun.

I had a big presentation that I had to give at work yesterday. Its been taking up a lot of my time, and now that its finally over, I feel like I should sing and dance.
Who knew there were that many 80s style leotards left in the world?

Krav Story
Tonight, we learned how to do spin kicks.
Spin Freaking Kicks.
The thing about Spin Kicks, is that you feel really cool when you do them. Even if you say, miss the pad entirely. Cool.
We also did an advancing side kick that was a lot of fun too.

Smingus Dyngus
I have a friend that went on a mission to Poland. On Monday, she invited a bunch of us over to celebrate the Polish holiday of Smingus Dyngus, where Poland has a national water fight the Monday after Easter.
You're thinking she made it up, aren't you?
I did! But I Googled it and found out it really happens.
Apparently the wetter you get the more blessings you have for the year. Of course, on Monday it was freezing here, and I can't imagine that Poland is somehow warmer than Virginia, so it seems a little crazy.
I was the only one with a water gun, which gave me the range weapon. Combined with my trout-fu I didn't even get wet. The others had two liter bottles, pitchers, and (my personal favorite) a kitchen pot full of water.
It was really cold.
Once everyone had emptied their containers we went back inside and watched Finding Nemo (water movie).
I think my favorite part of Smingus Dyngus was a toss-up between the hostage negotiation over a bag of cookies, and when my friend chased one of her roommates down the street yelling "Smingus Dyngus!" with her 2 liter Coke bottle of water.

Monday AMV
Did everyone have a good Easter? I have had way too much chocolate myself.
Fruits Basket 22 just came out, and there's only one issue left. Everything is wrapping up, couples are pairing off, and Tohru ended up with the guy I wanted her to end up with. Yeah!
So here's some Fruit Basket to enjoy.

Attack of the Tweeners
We were sparing in Krav today, and I ended up going with one of the advanced students, who didn't seem to realize the difference in fighting me, and fighting someone who's much bigger than me.
Anyways, he beat the ever loving crap out of me, and now I'm pissed and in pain. I needed to eat something but didn't want to eat anything, so I decided to split the difference and get a smoothy. I went to my local smoothie place only to find it full of teenage girls.
The kind of teenage girls who wear daisy dukes and a light hoody in 40 degree weather, and who apparently don't know their own names since one of them took my smoothy.
The horror...The giggling....
I realize part of it is projection from dealing with the jerk in Krav class, but I haven't hated teenage girls this much since I left high school.

Aliens vs. Monsters
I saw this on Friday, in IMAX 3D, and I thought it was really good. It made me laugh. The 3D was actually pretty cool. When the movie opened up with a space scene, and these 3D rock rings were orbiting a planet, every kid in the theater went "oooohhhhhhhh"
The glasses are these big plastic things though, so after awhile, they really start to press on your face. I was glad the movie was only an hour and a half, because my nose and ears were really starting to feel the pinch.
I think one of my favorite parts was when the president, voiced by Stephen Colbert, attempted to make contact with the giant alien robot by playing 80s music on a synthesizer.
Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

Stop Existing!!
It makes me wish he do Naruto as well.

Brain Worm
I have the Ha ha ha song from Naughty Marietta stuck in my head. What's especially vexing is that the only words I know are:
MWa ha ha ha, HA ha ha, Beem Moo may...Fa la la la HA HA HA Beem MOO MAY!!!
AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, oooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
something something Beem moo MAY!
Needless to say, its really hard to sing this song with the whole, not being a famous soprano opera singer and all.
UPDATE: This song from this movie:
My favorite Jeanette MacDonald moment ever, comes from the very end of Rose Marie. She goes crazy on stage, has a great scream and a great faint. My little sister and I would fast forward through the entire movie (which kinda sucks) just to watch these last five minutes.
