Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I meant to go to sleep, but I wandered back by and saw krav...

Nilly hasn't been to krav maga yet, Tal. Her schedule got moved around at the last moment this morning, so she'll be coming to class on Wednesday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just realized, I am going to have to take the class, too, ita, aren't I?

Why yes, Lee...

Tal, it's pretty trendy, or was a few years ago. There are two different schools, and the one I belong to is very large and has schools all over the country.

I'm hopelessly biased, and find it very fun, good exercise, and practical.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Not trendy enough to have spread much outside London over here, sadly.

One of the reasons it's trendy here is that the school where I train is insanely aggressive on the business side too. I've heard other schools disdain the marketing push, but the fact it, it's spread like wildfire -- marketing isn't the evil (even if J-Lo comes up in every third krav google) -- the key is making sure the quality of the franchises is maintained.

But yeah, the KMNTC is an object lesson in how to sell a system. And it got sold to Angelina Jolie and J-Lo. My next hope is Halle Berry.

You do know it would be bad PR to cripple a celebrity in her introductory training session, right? Right?

Well, maybe she could end up with legit reasons for cosmetic surgery.

Speaking of Halle, I told a potential date yesterday that I was going to enjoy a day of watching crappy movies, and his immediate response was "Catwoman?"

Girl should be told that if a diva loses our crowd's respect when following in the footsteps of Julie Newmar, it's a BAD sign.
