Salsa, FPS, and Ctrl-Z

Sorry I’m so sporadic with posting here. I suppose my weeks are mainly filled with going to work and coming home to lie around. So I’ll tell you about my weekend.
Friday night I went out salsa dancing at Habana Village. Now I have to tell you, this is DC’s premier club for Salsa. I know because I’ve been to that one. There are three floors of great dancing music, two with live bands. It is also the most diverse club I’ve ever been to. It’s in a narrow Adams Morgan building, so the dance floors are pretty crowded. But I only got one elbow to my face. I feel bad about interrupting that girl’s spin.
Well, anyway, this was my first time trying my hips at salsa dancing. I have to say it was a pretty intimidating thing. Especially after I saw all the guys there that really could dance. I had a great time anyway, though. Still, I’m not adverse to taking some lessons before I go back.
When I woke up Saturday morning, which was not during the hours one would typically consider “morning,” I started some work on MemBap.org, the website for Memorial Baptist Church in Williamston, NC. All that seemed very much like what I’ve been doing at work for the past two weeks. The difference is that php is much more fun than Java and Struts.
I then rounded out the night with some Will Rock. Now, Will Rock probably isn’t the best FPS out there, it’s just the one I have. There is an awful lot of shooting, though. It came with my video card, which I have to say is pretty hot. I’m afraid I’m not getting my full use of it if I’m not playing video games though. Of course, when I do play video games on it, I can’t make use of the dual-monitor support. I need to find a hot dual monitor FPS. Well, in case you care I played the game a bit when I first got it, but I got much farther last night than I ever have before. In bed at 2.
Then last night I had this dream where I was applying Ctrl-Z to the universe. That was a pretty cool feature. Not only did it reverse people’s actions, but I could also see the changes in the snippets of object code above their heads. I love dreams like that.
