Imagine a medium sized auditorium packed almost shoulder to shoulder with people dancing to fast music. Balboa is an amazing dance that I have gained a lot of appreciation for this past weekend. I am ( Read more... )

I've got this commute thing pretty much down. So it doesn't piss me off too much and I'm enjoying my NPR time to actually get in touch with current events again. School had been disrupting that.
