PJs and birthdays and contact staff

Saturday night was an incredibly fun night of pajamas, funny card games, getting boxed into a corner, jello shots, cider, and tasty tequila.  One of the best parts of the night was being dragged downstairs by Q because he was putting on some Hybrid.  Last man standing, indeed.  Saturday night was about as awesome as Friday wasn't.  I'm beginning to suspect that Red Deaths are Bad for me.  I"m going to try some alternate beverages and see how that goes. 

Sunday I managed to wake up before noon (no mean feat after going to bet at four) and made it to my contact staff workshop.  I spent a few hours working on and getting frustrated with staff, and then switched over to poi.  I learned a bunch of new things (anti spin, flowers,  and crosses) and when I left, some of the staff moves clicked for me.  Tonight I'll get to polish what I learned.  I passed on the practice session to spend some time celebrating Trick_13's birthday, before coming home to crash.

Monday morning: well rested, refreshed, and back into work.  The upcoming days are all supposed to be in the mid50's and low 60's.  It's about time!
