While I know there are many more pressing matters at hand, there's been a distinct problem I've noticed onboard in the most recent karaoke nights.  I won’t name names, but I have noticed a lack of rhythm that can be rectified with a little practice. Luckily, I am here to help, and there is no singing required.

This Friday, I'll be hosting a group salsa class in the community room.   You don't need to have danced before; all prior skills you need are the ability to count to eight and how to stand up straight.

All are welcome, though anyone who is judgmental towards others just learning will be asked to leave.  I don't have patience for that, and it's supposed to be fun.

See you Friday at seven.  Wear comfortable shoes.

assuming i don't get eaten by a bear

[finotti]

You're only allowed a light mauling at most

[agyieus]

it's hibernation season

[finotti]

So you're fine as long as you don't wake any?

[agyieus]

they don't literally sleep the whole time but they're not hunting and they don't have cubs, so they should be pretty chill. for grizzly bears.

[finotti]

They don't sleep the whole time?

[agyieus]

nah. but they do sleep a lot more.

[adequacies]

I think you’re all very capable of not getting eaten by bears! Please have a little faith in that fact.

[agyieus]

i'm the bear safety expert, it'll be fine

[adequacies]

Seems they should have a badge or a pin of some sort for you.

[agyieus]

i got so many badges and pins for my outdoorsmanship when i was a kid.

[adequacies]

lola also got me some instant coffee from laos. it's good in chocolate cake.

Re: abc.

[finotti]

I can put together a cake. See if Jax has any of his flax eggs left

abc.

[agyieus]

the coffee's stashed in the foot of my bunk. you can grab it whenever.

[murphyy]

didn’t say you did, pol. […] i stole an ipod off a desk when we were on the ground in china, could be from all of us.

abc.

[agyieus]

one big gift and a few small ones is good. [...] is she close with anyone else on the ship?

abc.

[murphyy]

there’s this kid a couple years older than her she’s been hanging out with. […] his name starts with a j? she keeps saying “my friend” instead of calling him by name and i can never remember it.

Re: abc.

[finotti]

What if we get other people to choose a song each to put on the ipod for her too like a collaborative mix tape

abc.

[murphyy]

i think we’ve got a 50/50 chance on her deciding mix tapes are lame but […] maybe?
