Whee!!! I rode Isis for the first time sincer her surgery. Granted, it wasn’t much or for very long, but it was still sitting on her back… She moves so differently from Rajiyyah. Rajiyyah’s steps are more upright, more bounce. Isis reaches with her shoulder and strides...
Reading Slashdot during lunch and found an article on writing for games. Now this sounds like fun! A way to combine hobbies of writing fiction, technical writing, and playing games. Interview with game writer Related Images:
The best way to quell pre-performance jitters is to go to the barn. While horses make some people nervous, they are my sanity. If I’m upset, just touching Isis is usually enough to calm me down. I dragged my dance instructor today to the barn. She didn’t...
One lady from my class met me at my house to practise the choreography for Saturday. My instructor also came over. We had a nice evening with some snacks and a good grilling on the dance. We must have gone through it seven or eight times. I’ve...
According to an article on The Register, Netflick’s copies of series 2 DVDs of Doctor Who have a major error. Viewers enjoying “New Earth,” the first episode in series 2, are periodically treated to scenes from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Apparently, only the DVDs from Netflicks are effected....
Off to dance class! We have only a few more days before the performance at Earth Fare. I’m a little nervous. I’ve missed two lessons because I was in Las Vegas visiting Mom last week. She kept me really busy, so not a lot of time to...
Today we had an extra practise for dance class. Three hours! This has been one of those amazingly full days. Knitting group in the morning from 10-2, dance from 3-7, and then work at home from 8:00 until whenver I fall over. We’re working on two choreographies:...
Finally! For the first time since I got sick, I worked Rajiyyah. She was full of herself but we made some major advances. We didn’t get to ride, but I did work her in light side reins and the bit. Something spooked her during the workout and...
Finally, after a month, I made it back to dance class tonight! Imagine my surprise to learn that our next recital is in two weeks!! EEP! We’re still learning a new choreography to Madura’s Isdes. Fun fusion song. We might also do another dance to Bakara (not...
One of those weeks. Roof is still leaking. The kitties are going in places where they shouldn’t and leaving presents. I heard something running around in the attic. I was convinced it was a squirrel (luckily it was just a loud heating system kicking in). Most nights...
Okay, so I’m incredibly lazy this weekend. I’ve done some work for clients, but mostly I’ve stayed in bed and slept. I am trying to kick this sinus infection and it seems hopeless. It just hangs on, like a leech. On a funny note… Ambush has started...
The farrier came out this evening. Bad timing: I had forgotten that the farrier appointment conflicted with two classes on Thursday (including belly dance class). Last time the farrier was out, Isis was ouchy in her rear end. She even tried to kick the farrier — unusual...
This stupid sinus infection has been lingering. I know I should go back to the doctor’s for a different antibiotic. Unfortunately, since it is now pas the new year, I would have to pay on the deductible before my insurance would kick in fully. That means another...
Happy New Years! Just after midnight, a friend of mine called to wish me a happy new year. Several other people at the party also received calls from family and friends. The song on the radio was “Come On baby light my fire.” What does that mean...
