OMG! It's a non-fandom post!!
It seems like it's been forever since I've posted, like, real life stuff and not just fandom ramblings. So, I shall do some of that now. :-)
Work is driving me nuts, a little bit. But, this is nothing new. I may have posted about this before, where I'm trying to get very specific information that I need in order to do my job and was getting the run around of everyone telling me to ask everyone else. I think I finally got the someone to listen, gave them some more information that they were asking for, and got in response "Wow! That's going to be a lot of information. Are you sure that's what you need?" YES!! THAT'S WHAT I NEED!! I know it's a lot of information, but I NEED IT TO DO MY JOB. Please give it to me. I swear, I'm getting ready to pull my hair out with this.
Had my second ballet class this past Friday. The babysitting went much better. I was a little worried as Martouf has actually been going down for naps around that time now because of the teething. I was concerned he was just going to be super fussy, but he was just fine. He almost fell asleep in the car on the way home, but luckily it's a short drive and I managed to feed him a bottle before nap time. As for me, I showed up to class with my shins wrapped as a preemptive strike against my shin splints acting up. The teacher was all "Are you okay?" Yeah, it's fine. And it actually was. Class wasn't too bad. Until the end. We're getting ready to do the final combination or whatever and she asks if I'm up for jumping. My shins are feeling fine so I agree. However, if I had known what she was going to make us do, I may have declined. 64 CHANGEMENTS. Now, 99% of you probably have no idea what that is. What it is, is starting in fifth position (which is the feet crossed, heel to toe and toe to heel), you jump up, switch which foot is in front and land and repeat. And it's quick. Up down up down up down. Here's sort of an OK vid if you want to see what I'm talking about. Yeah. 64 of those in a row. That was not fun. I was IN PAIN yesterday. Ugh. My calves, too. Not just the shins. Oy.
I went to see I Am Number Four last weekend when Erin was here. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Alex Pettyfer was great. Definitely easy on the eyes, but there was also a vulnerability to him that was easy to sympathize with. Timothy Olyphant was FANTASTIC. Really. I was actually really impressed with the kid who played his friend, Sam. His character actually has a lot of backstory that's mostly just hinted at, but not explicitly talked about much. Dianna was okay. The character didn't seem to dissimilar from Quinn, so there wasn't any real noticeable acting challenge to me. I mean, she wasn't bad or anything. It was certainly a passable performance. But nothing to really write home about.
My Glee Tickets are still for sale. If you know anyone who might want them. :-)
The Oscars are tonight! Yay!! I've actually seen some of the nominated movies this year, so I think I actually have things to be rooting for. :-) Can't wait to see what everyone's wearing! Hehe.

We had this one combination in my old ballet class that was worse, if possible. It was 32 entrechat quatre, MOVING. So, the first 16 you traveled upstage then 16 traveling back downstage. She was mean. :-P
