I just looked and it seems you guys now have THREE Coffee Beans.
773 Market Street
2201 Fillmore St.
Four Embarcadero Center
SF now has one more Coffee Bean than the Venetian does. (I still find the Venetian thing weird but funny.)
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
But that's all the way up there.
I need one down here.

Because books.
That's right, do it for America! We all believe in you! We all know you can get it done!
Dude. Way to put on the pressure.
Also? I think America would probably be better off without the book I'm currently editing, to be honest.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh...well...um, that was for the other Amy then.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Today has been a giant mess of messness. I have insulted the work ethic of two people above me in the heirarchy, one to their face. Things I needed to get through today, only 2 of maybe 10 got done.
My mother is talking to me as if I am going to break, which I get, but makes me want to wail.
OK - to look at the good things:
- a neighbor is going out of town for a long weekend and is giving me her perishable food - free groceries - YAY!
- there's only an hour more of work
- no one called me today about late bills
- payday

“Not dead yet!”
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
"Germans?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love when Gud gets inspirational.
We are generally having a good day here in my office, made better by burgers for lunch. Delivered!
However, I am going to be screwed next week by a project I should have done more on already. Ah well.

Stick knitting needles in your forearm?
I was thinking about spacing out and thinking about something I'd rather be working on. However, you know, to each their own.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Sorry about your no-good day, Barb.
So wouldn't today's young dancer/choreographer learn a different set of rules than previous generations did?
Well, this is true to a certain extent. But there are sets of rules (ideals is maybe better?) for specific schools of dance. It's roughly analogous to poetry, for example a modern student would learn the required structure for a sonnet or a villanelle in the same way that students have over the ages, right? That student might then insert a breaking phrase into a strict form and have something new and interesting...but not a sonnet.
And that's not the same thing as stringing a set of random couplets together and calling it a sonnet, ignoring all protests. Which is more of what I see on teevee dance of various claimed styles. Does that make sense?
Also, this
Debbie Allen /= modern dance. See Momix, David Parsons, ISO, Pilobolus... For modern ballet see Alvin Ailey, Gus Giordano, White Oak, Hubbard Street...
definitely, teevee to the contrary. There are some really fabulous things going on out there. Next time I have some bandwidth to spare I'll see if I can't rustle up some video to explain.
