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.

i was. but i understand why you're skeptical.

well i also crave excitement so that's fine.

I hated all the popular kids. [...] Well. As much as I could.

Then I can't wait to watch that fight.

yeah? how would you have hated me in high school?

I don't know. Maybe you could've been spared. For atypical popularity. I like stars.

you would've liked the desert. the sky is crazy there when the moon's dark. [...] it was always a little harder to enjoy it after the fall, though.

Knowing what else was up there?

yeah. changes the entire context. [...] when it gets dark enough in the desert you can see the andromeda galaxy with the naked eye. that light's almost three million years old. i used to spend so much time wondering who was over there.

Ever figure it out?

not the architects, i'm betting. i decided they're probably local. hopefully anyone who's over there in the andromeda galaxy will mind their own business.

Really long commute for planetary domination.
[...] That's what I thought. When I first saw stars again, too. With my own eyes. They just looked like targets.

yeah. and it takes them time to get places, clearly.

even if we take care of all this shit i don't think i'll ever be able to look at the sky the same way again.
