I've really been watching way to many net videos lately haha. At least having a bad cold gives me a little bit of an excuse...

I really enjoy watching dance--everything from all sorts of modern dance to Japanese butoh, to figure skating (if it's OK to count figure skating as dance). I should really go to see live events more often because there are so many opportunities in this city.

Here's a jaw-dropping robot-dance clip I saw on YouTube tonight:
