Geared up For Spring

The holidays are over, and the new academic cycle is beginning at the Bonzuko home office. Jas is settling in to a new workout schedule, and looking forward to some Hospitality classes as well as getting some requirements out of the way. Jenn is already doing her DU online classes and is looking forward to another Metro spring! Here are some of the more interesting things coming up within the next few months:

• New and improved Villains, Monsters and Foes class Jenn's teaching at DU to their Liberal Studies grads
• Jas taking Wine Appreciation at MSCD
• New Stage Movement Class at MSCD, almost chock-full!
• RMTA 2009
• Stage Combat Club now a cross-school endeavor
• and who knows what homebrew and martial arts projects will be enjoyed

It's Christmas tiiiiiime in the city

Or it was, anyway. Not sure how long we'll keep our sparkly tree up, but Jenn being the magpie she is, the sparklies will be up as long as isn't ridiculous. Maybe they'll be down by St. Patty's day.

And maybe this post belongs on TWS's blog instead, but heck. What do cookies have to do with the movement arts? Well, a lot if you count calories. Anyway, here's the collection of Christmas cookies from Grandma. We don't have a picture of Mom's because, well, they're all gone.

Happy Holidays once again, readers!

meh.

Hey fellow lovers of this crazy English language! A new word has entered into the dictionary. Not the American slang dictionary, no, but the real live Collins dictionary of Britain. The word is:

meh.

The dictionary defines it as, "an expression of indifference or boredom, or an adjective meaning mediocre or boring."* Use it this week to commemorate its promotion of status into a real word. Or buy the "meh" hoodie at thinkgeek.com. I'm seriously considering it... ~Jenn

Today is really up to you. What shall you discover?

What is your objective? Why is it vitally important that you achieve this objective? How will you achieve it? Perhaps you have multiple objectives. Identify them, and recognize that there will be obstacles to reaching them. It's no big deal; just make a game of it and look for a solution.

If you have played video games, you have learned that there is always a way out of the (room) in which you feel trapped. Everything you need is available to you. Sometimes it takes staring at the same thing for an hour, going away for awhile, and revisiting that scenario. There is a solution. The majority of human existence lies in this process, and it can be as fun as you wish to make it.

Remember also that your actions affect those around you. Always consider this and try to make your decisions in the highest good for all beings concerned.
