Who was Martha Graham?Category: dance
I am absolutely fascinated with the Google doodle today! It just keeps getting better and better. I followed links and read so much about Martha Graham because of that awesome doodle.
And now, the inevitable. I want to try out Modern dance!!

Missed yoga so much...Category: dance
that I went to Zumba today.
That makes zero sense, but welcome to my life. The genre-defying deviation was because of some eleventh hour "planning" and last-minute dashing - which didn't produce much results except for a big sign outside the yoga studio which said something to the effect of:
I almost retraced my steps back home when I remembered the zumba poster at my ballet/salsa studio and decided to check it out instead. It was an interesting experience. Zumba is like dancing an alternate-universe crazy version of salsa mixed in liberally with aerobics and strange disco-like moves which defy categorization. I was drenched in sweat by the end of the class but didn't really feel like I learned anything new. Who knows, I might even have unlearnt some salsa steps that took me ages to get...
I really really REALLY miss Erin's yoga class. I am 99% going to the Vinyasa session tomorrow and planning on getting to class early. I hope the 1% doesn't show its evil petty face at 4:00 PM.

Class is lamentably very full today. You are welcome to join us some other day for yoga, but NOT TODAY, you tardy little rat.

Sounds like a business plan.

hahhaha (e:uncutsaniflush), obviously my maths skills are in a cheesy corner. :)
(e:libertad), now I HAVE to check cabot's extra sharp cheddar out! How does it compare to the triple cream cheese? Is it good on sandwiches?
I found this cheese that I love so much, it is made by Cabot's and it is exra sharp cheddar and it has a wax coating on it. It is so creamy and delicious. Cheese makes everything better.
What extra cheese? If I'm doing the math right and remembering what a metric ton is, there is no extra cheese. 14.8 kgs/person times 300 million persons = 4,500 metric tons.
