I love it that Dave Barry has a Blogspot site.

My Social Dance class is going to perform at the Social Dance lab. We’re doing a waltz. I’d feel much better about it if we’d been able to *really* practice, but we only finished choreographing the thing this morning, and only ran through the whole thing all together twice. I suppose we’ll be all right, […]

I have so many different things to blog about that I can’t seem to think of a unifying theme. So here we go. Preference was a blast. Josh turns every dance into a production number. It was great fun to pantomime to the lyrics of “Dancing Queen” and “I Will Survive” and such things. He […]

She’s now on SQ! Jen submitted her story yesterday, and to our surprise, was given an instant N.E.W.T.! Even I wasn’t that lucky. Anyway, I guess I’m now her official beta reader, since she won’t be getting an SQ one. So everyone should look to see Retrospection appearing soon on Sugar Quill!

I might end up pulling my corsage apart for hair flowers, though. So I should take pictures now, I guess. Next […]

I got official confirmation yesterday for the Nimbus panel, so I decided to find out a little bit more about where my esteemed panelists are from. Two of the panelists are from California Baptist University, which is affiliated with the California Southern Baptist Convention. One panelist is from Biola University, which is a private Christian […]

So the other day I was working at the desk in the library, and there was a patron at one of the two copy machines that are just opposite the desk. He must have been there for an hour already, as he had a gigantic stack of books next to him on his right, and […]

BYU’s Preference dance is coming up next weekend, and my sisters and roommate all decided they wanted to go– and they want me to come as well. I don’t really have anyone particular I want to ask, but there’s a guy I knew from high school who’s a great dancer and who I’d have fun […]
