Little miss crabby

Pretty much, yeah. I need some time away from the office. Two and a half more workdays until Vacation Time. Friday afternoon cannot come soon enough. It doesn't help that I'm alone in the office this afternoon, so can't escape my desk for occasional jaunts around the building.

I am keeping up with doing push-ups several times a day, though. For my first set this morning, I tried for a new record of uninterrupted push-ups and I got one. Fifteen, baby. Fifteen military style push-ups in a row.



Here is the giant animated gif that we've all been waiting for. And by "we" I mean "I." I've wanted this since the movie came out in 2008.



Unf.

UPDATE: I decided to put on some good tunes to boost my mood for the next three hours.

Now I feel like dancin'!

I want to learn how to dance this style of swing. It goes by a few different names, but in the U.S. rockabilly world, it's most commonly referred to as jive. I don't know anyone who teaches it locally.

Holy crap this kid is amazing.

A tiny part of why this couple looks so good is that their hands are always held level at their waists when they're not in contact. There are no flapping arms, no frantic hand-grasping. The lead, even when he breaks contact, knows exactly where the follow's hand will be when he wants to pull her back. This is crucial to looking good with this. You might not be the flashiest couple on the floor, but if the lead knows where the follow (and the follow's hands) are at all times, it makes them look smooth and competent, which is half the battle when it comes to partner dancing.

Now I really wanna go out dancing. *sigh*
