		<description><![CDATA[<p>Toronto Coranto &#8211; the renaissance dance group that I got drafted into<br>
&#8211; performed for a class on Love and the Renaissance. It was tons of<br>
fun, particularly the workshop part where we got all these students to<br>
try out the branle pinagay. I wish I'd learned the dance of the<br>
flowers. It looked very pretty, all courtly symmetry and<br>
synchronization&#8230;</p>
<p>Calum came downtown just to shoot the event. He left after the show,<br>
and I didn't get to talk to him much about what's going on in his<br>
life. Should check on him sometime. He has two camera bodies now, and<br>
he's gotten completely spoiled by not only the ability to switch from<br>
long to short really quickly but also the external flash. Heh.</p>
<p>Jed dropped by, too, even joining the workshop. He joined us for our<br>
celebration at the pub. I had a burger, some Aussie cheese fries, a<br>
plate(!) of whipped cream (I have no idea what possessed Mike to ask<br>
for that!), and a little bit of a brownie.</p>
<p>We had hot chocolate afterwards (oy, sugar overload!), and we chatted<br>
a bit about development, billiards, drumming&#8230; Come to think of it, I<br>
don't think he managed to finish his tea. I really should just prepare<br>
tea next time. Engineers Without Borders gave me a box of tea for<br>
showing up at lunch the other week, and I really should track down the<br>
wonderful tea David served at the Linux Caffe some time back.</p>
<p>Must learn how to listen for rhythms and to tap them out. It's not<br>
entirely logical for me to keep telling people that they can get the<br>
hang of computer science and that I'm not a special, unique snowflake,<br>
while excusing myself from not being able to get the hang of audio or<br>
visual stuff. ;)</p>
