Blah Blah Blah

[weekend]
A Salsa Congress is a big event where a bunch of people that like to dance salsa all show up in once city and dance. I don't know why they call them congresses and I think that is a stupid name, and I bet its always the same thousands of people that show up every time, but I've never been. I typically don't here about these things until shortly after one ends--and its always the one that was in the city I happened to be in. When I was in philly, I missed the Philly Salsa Congress. Then I moved to Seattle and missed the Seattle Salsa Congress. This is the backstory for the next paragraph.

Last weekend a coworking got sick and was unable to do our on call thing--having a boring weekend and not doing anything fun because if anything breaks you have to jump online and fix it. I took her shift. I assumed that they would take my shift this weekend. Apparently this person is still sick, and I will now spend two miserable weekends in a row. Plus, last night this girl told me that this weekend there is a Salsa Congress in Vancouver. For once in my life (excepting the times I've forgotten) I know about a salsa congress in driving range before it happens. However in all likelihood I will be stuck at home troubleshooting other peoples problems. This on call thing is becoming a problem.

[notes from last night]
I am terrible at remembering girls names. Really bad. Last night when I went to this "dance practica" thing hoping to run into Red Shirt girl -- she wasn't there :( --I resorted to just texting myself things I wanted to remember:

Enchufla swing arm low (start an enchufla left to her right, but swing her arm behind her back. its awesome)
Jenna short hair green shirt (I didn't really want to dance with her--i'm less attracted to girls with short hair and she has an affinity for correcting me while we dancing--which would be ok if I thought she was right)
Allison=hair (dark skin, white shirt, big poofy hair)
Hammerlock is the key also salsa videos (that move i was trying to remember can be started from a hammerlock and i need to start watching salsa videos online to steal moves)



[liquor]
Luke sent me a map generated by Microsoft's search engine, which I only use when clicking on links that Luke sends me. Admittedly this engine did a better job of finding liquor stores near me, but I'm going to continue using google maps because Google isn't the company that, for ten years now, has been the main reason I can't run games on linux. If you suffer from insomnia I'd be glad to explain why. Anyway, the reason I'm writing it here is that this engine, which I won't name, claims there is a liquor store on:

6th ave between Lenora and Blanchard.

[lyrics]
I want to close the text editor that has been sitting open, so here are some barely-started lyrics I practically copied from this song:

i wanted you to know
that i love the way you laugh
and the way you dance
the way you talk

the secret's over now

blah blah blah
