Karate actually went well last night. Who knew?

I really wasn't in the mood to go. But I did. Much to my consternation, sensei decided to concentrate on free-standing kicks for most of the class. I don't mind kicks, exactly, except I just get so frustrated over balance issues.

But last night, mysteriously, my balance was solid. Wow. That felt great! I felt like a real brown belt, instead of an imposter masquerading as one. Only hitch was toward the end, when we started doing side kicks with the right leg. The jolt from the lock-out started hurting the knee I bolluxed up doing spin kicks in class a week ago. So sensei told me just to continue practicing the side kick pivot chamber. I felt like I was getting away with something.

I love it when karate actually goes well. It would be nice if it happened more often.

Mostly a good day. Okay, a couple bad things

( I fainted at work today. )

( Then the car )

So tomorrow, I call my clinic to ask about what, if anything, should be done about the fainting spell, and the car will go into the mechanic.

Oh, and if you're curious, I thought Twilight was mostly true to the book (that's not particularly high praise, because I was not majorly impressed with the book). As has been pointed out, they obviously didn't have the budget for top notch special effects. A popcorn movie made out of a popcorn book. Oh, well, it was what I was in the mood for. I had to leave the theater and come back to my real life soon enough.
