Zumba (pronounced "stupid")

I went to an exercise class just now that was supposed to be all cool and dancy, but I was greatly hindered by my mostly complete inability to dance, and then surprosed to learn that I have forgotten how to gallop. Why was galloping in a dancy class? Who knows. except that this style of exercising, which is called Zumba (pronounced "stupid"), features skinny Brazil-looking women on the original website, and maybe they gallop in place, or in a tiny circle, more often in South America.

I'll probably go again. Especially since exercise is good, and there was a part where we got to "jump, jump" like in that stupid song from a long time ago. and while I may continue to be no good at dancing forever, I can at least still jump up and down mostly on rhythm -- unless i get into it, and then immediately lose the beat and have to stand around confused for a while.

I made a nifty macro thing in Excel today as a helper tool for the proposal writing process that we go through quarterly. It was So Much More Fun! than the awful Excel stuff I was doing a long time ago when I was in grad school. I think it was because no one told me to do it, and then people appreciated it after it was done. Yay!

Oh! And there was a Weakerthans concert last night! That was super awesome. The had the New Amsterdams opening for them, and my new music-guy crush is on the slightly punky, yet oh so presentable, lead singer of the New Amsterdams.

Also also, Netflix apparently is having a run on "The Fox and the Hound" so instead of getting my bizzarro animal combo of "The Fox and the Hound" and "12 Monkeys", I'm getting "12 Monkeys" and "Brazil"... and disc2 of season2 of Gilmore Girls. Like, OMG! Did you know that Lorelei has like totally called off the engagement! Dude!
