I had a dream that I was back in my old Tae Kwon Do school, but we were being introduced to Brazilian Jujitsu. I demonstrated positioning transitions on a dummy. Vahe, who in real life got fired years ago for abusing the kids, graded it an A+ because I "did more than [I] was supposed to." But someone else, whose face I couldn't make out due to typical dream world blurriness, thought it was mediocre. End of dream.
I think my subconsciousness is telling me to visit Tae Kwon Do.
I finally got to watch last Sunday night's new episode of True Blood. It has a wicked scene where Jason Stackhouse is being raped by the head werepanther chick (you know, like a panther instead of werewolf) with other werepanther girls waiting their turns.
Jesse (the Brazilian, not the Mexican) and his sister Stephanie and I had a mini-Capoeira reunion in Burbank to pick up our tickets for the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Death Hallows part 2! It was so cute because we were all lost in the parking lot of the AMC 6 Town Center. I haven't seen Jesse since we watched part 1 (see entry 11/19/10) and Stephanie since last summer (see entry 8/16/10).
But then, the highlight if the day: I walked by the nearest Hot Topic, not my local one that I frequent, and the butterface/fellow Harry [Potter]head was working alone while the rest of her coworkers were on break. (Review of the saga found in entry 7/7/11.) The alarm was being set off mysteriously as I stood near the entrance checking out Superman shorts and jackets.
BUTTERFACE: (Seeing that I wasn't setting off the alarm) Oh, nevermind. I was like, why is he setting off the alarm? (Beat.) Did you see the all the Harry Potter stuff?
RYAN: Yeah, I just bought my Gryffindor robe from a shop that specializes in Harry Potter replicas.
BUTTERFACE: Is it Whimsic Alley?
RYAN: Yeah! Few people know about that! I've met some fans whom I brought it up to, they had no idea what I was talking about, and I was like, "Oh, c'mon!"
BUTTERFACE: Yeah, how are you gonna be a Harry Potter fan and not know what Whimsic Alley is! Some of their stuff still have the Hot Topic tags on them. I was like, "I work at Hot Topic. That's not cool."
We talked about the movie and blah, blah, blah.
BUTTERFACE: I'm surprised you're not gearing up. I usually see you with your Hermione shirt on.
Translation: Holy crap! It means that this whole time when I thought she didn't remember me, she did remember me!
I did a bunch of squats at the gym late at night because squats are love. I just supplemented it with pull ups, chin ups, lat pull downs, rows, push ups, bench presses, as modified jackknife twisters.
