I tried to get to work early, since it's our last day here at the LPC at Fermilab. But I couldn't tear myself from the book I'm reading: Breaking Dawn. 4th in the Twilight series.
Last night we had a fun time reading/making meatballs/watching James Bond: Casino Royale with our couch-crasher Rob. I actually stopped the movie before the very end so that Bond was happily together with Vesper. It's wonderful if you stop the movie there!
We also had our last night of Aikido at Mushin Dojo yesterday. Joe was at home recuperating his knee, so Beth, Me, Carley, Brian, and Jimmy each took turns demonstrating techniques. It was a lot of fun! Jimmy showed shikko-Sharks and Minnows!
Beth and I were paired up for gyaku-homni katatetori shihonage, and during ura, I realized that if uke is commited enough, you can just irimi tenkan right past without even touching them! Then bring your arms down as if you had a sword! I really have to make a study of the 8 count kata with the various entrances etc. I bet I will be able to draw that connection everyone talks about between weapons and open hand techniques!
Ok off to do work/eat!
