Sometimes, I dance like nobody’s watching;
but only when nobody’s watching.<\/p>\n

On the big speakers: Paris Combo<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday night I went up to a little restaurant
in Seattle called the New Orleans<\/a>. There was a fun,
live band there playing jazz and swing, mostly
older stuff. The bass player actually used to
play with Count Basie! Anyhow, I met some of the
really good swing dancers of Seattle, and was completely
in awe of their hep skills. However, I’ve decided not
to pursue swing dancing as such a … career option.
For me, it’s a fun hobby, and having about a thousand
fun hobbies, I don’t particularly want to devote more
time to this one than any of the others. I like
all my hobbies. Having decided that takes a big weight
off my shoulders; swing shouldn’t be work. Even so,
I’ll surely be dancing every Tuesday, and I want to learn
how to Balboa<\/a>, and I might even go up to Seattle
every so often, so by no means is swing out of my life.<\/p>\n

The La Casa Comics<\/a> site is
looking a tiny bit better, which is to say that now it
has a very cool banner up top thanks to Tim<\/a>, and as
my temporary position entering data has ended, I should
have more time to get it swinging before another job lands
in my lap. That may not be too far off, however.
I’ve been applying for jobs like it’s going out of style.<\/p>\n

In other news, I found my swing shoes! Yeay!
Also, Daniel<\/a> has finally started updating his blog, which is
worth checking out, if only ’cause he’s a complete loon,
and in China.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
