Aug. 25th, 2002 11:25 pmDays are strange. Yesterday I had a touchy tummy, and was kind of tired and achy for most of the day. (Though I revived enough to go to
jinasphinx's housewarming party, which was a lot of fun and we stayed up way too late gossiping.)
Today, even on low sleep, everything was working just great. Dropping into crouch stance quickly was no problem. I could even do half a sweep. (And considering the limitations of the space, I wasn't going to be able to do much better. I need to find a better space for practicing wushu... Until I'm really comfortable with some of these moves, I'm not doing sweeps outside. And outside is going to be less friendly to this stuff soon.)
canyonwren and I then went to a Qi Gong (dammit, there's nothing stupier than using Wade-Giles to write Chinese, pinyin just makes more sense and Mark can stuff himself) workshop with Hong Shifu. What a nice, simple, clean form. Though I suspect there are a lot of variations we didn't go over.
And then
craigp and I went out to meet folks at Fasica for nummy ethiopian food and more gossip. Weights and biking when I got home, and I'm feeling quite the social butterfly, and almost a gym bunny. Think I need to write tomorrow. Article due.
