With a little downtime I’ve picked up Frets on Fire and have gotten pretty good [...]

Class is cancelled for tomorrow, so I can sleep in, which means I can blog before bed.

SwingCal finale tonight. Small event, but three separate follows (with large amounts of dance-cred) complimented me on my leading, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I’ve only been serious about dancing since January, but it’s amazing what I’ve [...]
