Miscellaneous stuff and a question

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

I love Netflix. Got my first movie yesterday and already have like 40 films on my queue. And it's just so much fun to go through and rate movies. Why on earth did I wait so long to do this?? It's almost as much fun as Paperbackswap.com!

Tomorrow and Sunday I'm taking an advanced self-defense class. I took the basic class a few years ago and loved it, even though it was hard. I know this class will be even harder but I can do it. I just hope I don't pull a glute muscle like I did last time - it was sore for months, literally.

Doris's birthday is in early December and I'm trying to decide what to get her. I think she likes gadgets. Technical things. She got me a GPS for my birthday and I can tell she loves it too. I'm trying to think of some ideas for a techie sort of gift for her.

Was the self-defense class you took in high school part of the curriculum or something you decided to sign up for on your own, apart from what your school taught?

A bit of both?

Our last year at school didn't have gym classes scheduled (except for those taking it as a formal subject) - instead we spent Friday morning doing "something active".

The was a list of ten or so available activities one could sign up for each term - I've no idea why I chose them, but I took rock-climbing, wind-surfing and self-defence.

It's well past time I took a refresher, but I've never hit anyone in my life (caveat : that I remember, but I'm told I was a placid toddler) and the very thought makes me queasy.
