Musings on Dance, Food, Geek Stuff
Looking back on my life, I would say that most of it has been spent as a single person. Across the span of nearly three decades as an adult, I’ve only had a few instances where I was in a committed relationship. And for the most part, I’m just fine with that. Recently this article…
Millie Bobby Brown rapping a recap of Season 1 of Stranger Things is on repeat for me. Just because of the world. Lyrics below: Let's go back to Indiana, circa Nineteen Eighty-ThreeJust four boys in the basement chillin' playin' D&DThere was Lucas there was Willy Will and Dustin, there was MikeBut one night Will goes…
Dapper Day at Disneyland is an event I have been hearing about for years, looking enviously at pictures of people in their finest vintage duds at the theme park. It’s really a very simple idea: let’s all show up at Disneyland on the same day, all wearing 1940s-1950s-esque clothing and enjoy the park together. That…
It's been awhile since I've done a general health check-in here. Overall, things are going really great. I'm feeling fit, eating smart, and keeping active.

Nice ad, but this was just a crowdfunding campaign, so who knew if…

According to BuyKorea.org, this "fish sausage brand" from ChunHaJangSa "carries the history of Korea’s premium fish sausages. It…
Loving this video by mixed styles dancer Odd Sweet of Paris, doing a showcase at the Jazz Roots Festival last April. Apparently this performance won the showcase division, for good reason. So much character, musicality, and unique style. Odd Sweet is teaching workshops next week in SF. Excited to learn and dance with him! Here’s…
Today I tried the "Beyond Burger", a vegan product that purports to be the most beef-like mass-market veggie burger out there. The Beyond Burger is the flagship product of Beyond Meat, a company aiming to "create mass-market solutions that perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein." They also make chicken strips (which my cousin swears…
I went to see the new film "Blade Runner 2049" at the Alamo Drafthouse last weekend. Although I knew no one else would, I wanted to dress up as one of the characters from the original "Blade Runner." But who to be? So many iconic roles: Deckard, Roy Batty, Pris, Sebastian. But when it came…
