What's goin' on.

-Desperate desire to figure out how to imbed music onto my blog! I've been trying to figure it out, but until I do, here's a YouTube video, 'cause I know how to do that.

-Mini-Vacay! The 4th-of-July weekend was crazy good. Thursday I went Bhangra Dancing with a bunch of friends for Mama Squirrel's birthday. I totally suck at it, but it was so much fun I want to keep going until I can manage a move or two! Friday was slightly less eventful in a good way, then Saturday I hopped in a rental car and drove off to Aunt Triangle's house in the middle of nowhere, Connecticut. A relaxing day was spent celebrating My dear little cousin's high school graduation and impending journey to India. Sunday I spent more time with the family and then motored down the highway a bit for an entertaining visit with Cheshire Cat and his parents at their home before he and I hit the road back to Brooklyn, bickering merrily over the radio the whole way.

-Apartment hunting! The Heartwarmer and I have been hitting the streets of Park Slope and Prospect Heights hard (meaning we've seen, like, four places). Results have been kind of awful, except for one very promising place across the street from a fire station and around the corner from a police precinct. Safety first!

-Body modification! Oh my God, I have a tattoo. I'm still kind of in shock and disbelief. Moms and sisters and aunties can heave a sigh of relief - you'll never see it unless I'm in dance costume, wearing a bikini or if I can't contain my excitement and I hike my shirt up to show you. And even my mother, harshest of tattoo judges, will be impressed. It's beautiful, and it's only an outline so far!

-Dancing! Bellydancers for BARC was a great show; I put lots of pictures up on my Flicker, if you're interested, check 'em out. Warning though, the lighting was terrible in there. Helicopter took all the photos, so they're mostly of yours truly, although there are a few choice images of lovely people like Thinky Face, Fellow Tortured Soul, Mama Squirrel...
