Its some kind of Dancing for Revolutionaries

[wednes]

Since I haven't come across an excersize bike (of course you can't find a used peice of excersize equipment in January. Unless someone just got new stuff for Xmas, they have just resolved to use it more in the coming year. Now summer, summer shall be my time), I've decided to take H's advice and try this funny video game thing where you dance around on a pad to play the game. Several of you reccomended this, and I just want you all to know that my doing it does not make you the boss of me.

Dancing on a big pad? Sounds ridiculous, I'm sure it will be, but luckily none of YOU will ever know (with the possible exception of uterdic...sorry about that man. The hilarity will be sure to ensue.

Watched Jeopardy tonight. Since when can you be a 7 time champ? I thought they shuffled you off after 5 wins with a car. Then they have you back for the tourny of champions. Now THAT is some serious Jeopardy right there! I thought it was crazy enough when they doubled all the dollar values. Imagine being the last guy to play with the old dollars. Kicking yourself in the ass, knowing if you'd just waitied a week, you'd have twice as much money.

Anywhoo, I made a big veggie soup with quinoa tonight. Turns out, if you roast some veg, and saute others, and boil still others, you can have a soup that is not boring anyone to death. And if you can beleive this, fat free sour cream is not as gross as one might think.

and now...to the Revolution. The DANCE Revolution!

i love DDR... why? because i am a strange...strange little girl
plus, it's the only "sport" i've ever really been good at :-D

start on the slower songs to get the idea... after a while, they'll be TOO slow for you. don't try anything above 150 until you've practiced... you might hurt yourself :-P

i'd be happy to give you a few lessons (hehe... ddr lessons...)

I saw that happen on an ep of King of the Hill, if that show is true, I'm gonna pick up a young asian chick.

There's a scene in "Beijing Bicycle" where they play a game like that. I hear it's huge in Asia.

Well, turns out H's PS2 is broken or something. I have no idea how to get it fixed. He's already sent it in once.

If you're going to be playing on a computer, Pump It Up is the way to go. If you downlaod StepMania you can download new songs and, if you really want to play DDR, you can turn your mat diagonal.

Those dance games are indeed popular across the Pacific.
A few years ago, in Singapore, we watched these kids play them over & over.
They were fierce, vicious, and ultra-competitive.
I thought a fight might break out.

That would be amazing to see.
