shrijani links to a wonderful line-by-line commentary of Hollaback Girl. I admit I've never heard this song, but the analysis is wonderful, even for a blissfully unaware person such as myself.

This was one of the best Middle Eastern Weekend experiences I think I've had. Although I was really shaky on the few choreographed pieces I did, I had a really good time. I didn't bother trying to herd the other dancers. I just let myself float along and have a pleasant weekend. I am more than a bit peeved that not a single other Lawrence troupe girl showed for closing gate on Sunday (gonna bring that up in class) but oh well.

skyflame already has some photos up from this weekend if you care to check them out. Photos of this weekend start on row five.

I did my best weather magic to ward off rain and it worked pretty well except for a brief shower on Saturday afternoon. My magic? Don't wear sunscreen. Why was the weather on Sunday sunnier? I even went so far as to leave my parasol at home that day, which I didn't do on Saturday. So you all have me to thank for the averted thunderstorms. Sorry it was a little warmer than it should be, but if I'm having to dance I'd rather it be a bit too warm than a bit too wet.

My poor knees are pretty banged up from the floorwork. I love doing the hard drop down with the sword on my head. It's so dramatic and, honestly, very easy for me. But I know one day I'm going to do it and I'll know "well that was the last time for that." Also, by the end of the day, I could barely get up from the floorwork without pushing with my hands. Ooof, my quads get fatigued.

emeder, this is just perfect.
