Apple Cup 2008! Cougs vs Huskies

Washington State Cougars (GO COUGS!) vs University of Washington Huskies (BOOOOO) is this Saturday, Nov 22 12:00p at Washington State University: Clarence D. Martin Stadium, Pullman, WA.

Since the Village Pub in Magnolia has new owners, it's not a coug bar anymore. There's no point in driving all the way out to Magnolia to watch the game. We are probably going to the Fremont Dock to drink and hang out while the game is playing on their tiny TV's.

Go Cougs!!

Salsa Dancing Century Ballroom Capitol Hill

Wes, Monica, Raymond and I all went Salsa dancing last night for the first time. At the Century Ballroom on capitol hill, they teach a lesson and then have open dance like a bar. Wes and I have been taking Lindy Hop lessons there, but this was a totally different style of dance. You use more of your hips and it seems slower than Lindy Hop.

During the lesson you learn the steps by yourself and then you partner up with someone and go around the circle switching partners every few minutes. Having different dance partners is great because you get to learn different ways to move.

I really want to take some lessons and learn more moves!

Endless Shoes Nauty Monkey Flats

I love shopping from Endless.com shoes! You get free over-night shipping on business days and you don't have to mess with the shoe sales guys. I ordered a pair of shoes on Friday evening and got them Monday afternoon. So really it took a bit longer than over-night, but it was worth it.

How do you like my new shoes: Naughty Monkey Game Over ?
