random

so this new format connects to your google account, but there must be some bugs to be fixed. whenever i try and post a new entry, it won't allow me to start typing. i have to either recover a post or refresh it or press random buttons to get it to go. sheesh. i don't know if i like this new way of logging in -- it requires the extra step of logging twice. i don't even use my email account when i blog. damn technology.
why is it so difficult to find a good hip hop dance class to attend? my class at the y is currently being taught by a substitute for two months while my instructor recovers from bronchitis. i know she has several jobs, among them being a teacher in the oakland school district. teaching alone requires tremendous energy, but also works at lukas and teaches dance. so when she became sick and didn't recover quickly, she realized that she had to take some serious time off. good for her, but not so good for me...her class was aimed towards beginners, so it wasn't too difficult anyway and i would get bored. but at least taking it and shaking a lil' sum-sum was better than having my ass prints imprinted on the couch watching tv. the sub is cool, but she teaches old school hip-hop, which is cool, but i get tired of that as well. during a weekend i traveled south to attend kristine's 18th birthday, i was able to go to the culture shock dance studio and participate in the cardio hip hop. that format is more my style of learning.

but getting back to the sub, she's not too bad. i actually learned what the names of some dance moves from way back that i never knew had a name. stuff like:

the smurf
the tlc
the doo-wop
hang loose

in addition to all the other moves of our generation: the reebok, roger rabbit, cabbage patch, snake, the humpty, the jiggy or gettin' jiggy, running man, electric slide, butterfly, that cha-cha slide song, two michael jackson moves and the janet jackson shimmy. ahhh....dancing.
