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.

Bjorn is short.

[backdrive]

Okay. So is Dom.

[oneirophrenic]

[...] Two short people together is a little visually unsatisfying. It's important to have contrast in a pairing — some difference in proportion for the eye to settle on. It's the same principle as good composition: the gaze prefers tension to perfect symmetry. And I think romance benefits from contrast just as much as aesthetics does.

[backdrive]

That's a good point... ooh, what about ✨💕Josh Duhamel💕✨???

[oneirophrenic]

My nemesis? Never.

[backdrive]

Woah... what did he do?

[oneirophrenic]

That insufferable upstart — a model, no less, with his cushy little stint on All My Children — beat me out for that ill-advised adaptation of Dorian Gray. Me! He's the very picture of a bland and square-jawed American leading man, and yet he was their choice for Dorian. I don't care that the film was dreadful! It's the principle of it. Then he went on to collect plum role after plum role — a romantic comedy or two, that wretched little casino series — and I ask you, what explanation is left to us? Either his agent possessed something magnificently compromising on every casting director in the industry, or the man struck a compact with the devil himself. I refuse to believe those roles were awarded on the strength of his acting.

Nini.

[nishad]

Subtle.

Nini.

[oneirophrenic]

Wonderful.

Nini.

[nishad]

[...] Don't worry about it. Only an idiot would be disappointed to find you jealous.

[loculus]

@/mbone I thought we made a rather lovely pair.

[chemveil]

We looked and continue to look very good together. I can't believe Niko's saying such rude things about us in public.

[loculus]

I hope he feels ashamed.

[oneirophrenic]

I said two short people, not short and minuscule. Key difference.

[nishad]

Compared to Maryle, you have legs for days.

[loculus]

I've been "working" on my "quads."

[jaxsons]

This might be the most unhinged thing I've seen you say in two days.

[oneirophrenic]

This is just science, Jackson.

[jaxsons]

Science, huh?

[loculus]

I'm tall for of average height compared to many parts of the world.

[backdrive]

I think you're probably about the same height as Bjorn anyway.

[loculus]

Thank you, Josefin, voice of reason.

[backdrive]

Wow nobody's ever called me that before!
