flamenco baby!

so i went to a flamenco class last night!

i've always wanted to learn flamenco. it's such a strong, powerful, sensual dance...i saw joaquin cortez perform once (he does more a flamenco fusion of sorts, but is EXTREMELY hot and EXTREMELY talented) and his performance inspired me. i've also seen more traditional flamenco shows (with l - hey l, hope you're reading this!) and they've been just as good if not better. anyhoo, the long and the short of it is that g introduced me to this class and i absolutely love it!

i was still trying to get the footwork down pat when the instructor added the arms and hands part - did i feel unco-ordinated or what? anyhoo, i'm meeting the instructor tomorrow to go take a look at flamenco shoes, as i have no shoes whatsoever that are adequate for flamenco dancing.

the flamenco class picked my spirits up a bit, as i took the bus ride from hell in the afternoon to camden to a) try to find a job with virgin megastore and b) do some banking. the trip was absolutely futile as a) they weren't looking for any new employees and b) the thing my bank was suppose to have ready for me wasn't ready. ugh. i came home and crashed out - travelling around london sometimes just wipes it out of you. i don't want to compare to home but honestly, never in all my life has the TTC been as bad as yesterday on the london buses and underground.

i have a lab this afternoon, we're playing with guinea pig ileum (intestine). woohoo!
