Lindy, Mochi and Monty.

unbibiumAfter my typical morningful of debate on whether or not to leave the house, I did. I went to a Lindy Hop lesson, a Japanese grocery store, and my friend's house.
I went to a Lindy Hop lesson at the Arizona Athletic Club today. There were like eight guys and four women. But the thing that bothered me the most was that the Lindy Hop involves so much spinning. I got dizzy and it was hard to concentrate on my moves, especially when looking at my feet just made it worse.
Upon leaving the lesson, I wandered around a bit and saw a couple of office buildings with an architectural feature I've only recently noticed. These are one-story office buildings which have this one corner, where there's a two-story-tall block with mirrored glass, so that if you were only looking at the glass part, you'd assume it was a two-story building.
I stopped by the Japanese grocery store where I didn't speak any Japanese. I bought a cookbook in English and some pickled ginger and some Pocky and mochi ice cream and some seaweed paper. I might make Pocky sushi, who knows.
The location was University and Priest, and I could have taken the 56 back to Arizona Mills, the 30 to downtown Tempe, the 44 to North Phoenix... anything, pretty much. But instead I rang up Jeremy so we could have an impromptu barbecue. I had told him the day earlier that I would try to get us tickets to tonight's Godsmack concert, but there were complications and they fell through but it doesn't matter because they were free anyway.
We ate burgers and watched Monty Python. I'm surprised "You're no fun anymore!" didn't catch on more. We also watched Chicken Run. I told him the story of the Parrot language. He showed me his digital camcorder.
I also found out that I have three stages of cat allergies: throat irritation, itchy eyes, and then just skin irritation. It seems that they progress through each stage and then I'm fine for the most part. But when Jeremy's mom came back from a long day of something-or-other, she gave me a magic allergy pill that's the same color as the ones I usually take, and I took it.
Tomorrow, I shall cook.
