Picnic Day and DDR
Apr. 14th, 2007 10:39 pmI slept in a strange position last night, so the entire day, my ribs and general chest area felt miserably sore; like there was a vise around it. Ouch.

It rained. When it wasn't a steady drizzle, it was a pounding downpour. Left the dorm at 10:30, returned at 1 with my jeans soaked to the knee and my sneakers squelching with every other step. We (being snajerblah, my roommate, Flavia, Connie, and Bao)stopped for a quick recharge before heading out again. Thankfully, snajerblah had an extra pair of boots she loaned me, and I loaned her my extra umbrella in turn. We both needed it.
I ate liquid nitrogen ice cream, traversed a laser "maze", and watched the 37th annual Doxie Derby.
At the end of this year's picnic day, we were starving, but I got a pomegranate plant and some pretty neat experiences. Of course, knowing my expertise with plant life, the sprout's going to be gifted to Stephanie or Amy.
Later, at 7:30, I, snajerblah, Bao, and Stephanie went to watch Davis Dance Revolution. Ticket's were $5, but the performances made every cent worthwhile. Initially, we'd attended to support Janet in her group's performance, but there were so many other awesome competitors that the show never stopped wowing me. There were two grand prizes of $1k; one for the modern dances and another for the traditional.
SPICMACAY's, traditional, Southern Indian dance group, performance was, in my opinion the most impressive. The members managed not only to flawlessly perform the traditional dances but to also inject a modernistic style to the second have by combining two different dances. I can't wait to watch it again as Stephanie ordered the DVD.
LOVE was this amazingly choreography of ballet and break dance. Some of it was blatantly sexual, including a vivid kiss scene and grinding, but it was so expressive and impressive I was amazed it didn't receive at least second or third in its category. A girl danced on pointe and a boy performed pirouettes for the opening scene. Just... Wow.
