Nah, he ain't online... I don't know why he started this club in the first place!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Once again we see that the founder of the IRU, Mr. SDSalsaguy is NEVER around when I am up late to honor his silly club! I bet he's already asleep with his teddy bear by now! :D
The way he's been going, he'll soon be joining the ERC! :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

SG: you post 14 minutes after me and want to give me a hard time about it??? :x Grrrr... :wink:

Squirrel: Et tu squirrel? tu? (sigh)

MM: As for as joining the ERC...must be some really good stuff you're smoking! :shock: (Besides which, as you'll notice here (http://www.dance-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=10663#10663), I've technically been an ERC member all along anyway! :wink:)

Why we'd call Porfirio and ask him to send us the originals...then have a few made into posters, and then paste them on the walls of all the Salsa clubs in San Diego! :D

Ok, I'm logging off before SD deletes my account. :oops: :lol: ;)

(I don't really, I just feel like being silly or playing - nothing new :D - but if you vote for me in the DF Awards voting :lol: I will be more than delighted to help you paste those posters of SD around town :twisted: SD, looks like you will have to leave the photo there after all :D )

[SDsalsaguy]

Um, Pacion... you might want to keep in mind that I'm the one who runs the DF Awards... (hint hint, hint... :wink:)

Heading to bed in a few minutes. Friday I have class at nine!! :banana: (much better than 8:00! :( )

[MacMoto]

If you'd like to see a picture of me dancing, just ask! :)
I wanna see it, please? :D

[SDsalsaguy]

3:24am here now... watching Iron Chef (of course!), then I think I may go try and get some sleep, but we'll see...

[danceguy]

4:20 am - just back from Salsa...and once again I see that SD is ALREADY IN BED! I think we may need to elect a new president of the IRU! :D

Anyway...not a very good dance evening...just wasn't in the mood for much dancing. I did however dance with a very beautiful woman who only danced with me and one other guy...every other guy who asked her (like 10 of them) got turned down!

Oh well, it was better than sitting at home I guess. :?

Time for bed here I think...nighty night...er morning DF!

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

Forsooth foolish SG... I only said that I *might* go to bed... as events have transpired, however, it is now 5:40am and I haven't gone to bed yet... elect a new IRU president my @$$! :tongue:

[Sagitta]

Good to see that beautiful salseras only choose you and another one. :wink: :)

[danceguy]

I had a feeling that you were still awake...alas you are the truly King of the IRU! :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth:

What are these certain events anyway? Or who?!?!!?! :raisebro: ;)

Do I at least get an honorable mention for staying in a Salsa club until it closed and the security officers asked us to leave? :D

Good to see that beautiful salseras only choose you and another one.

I couldn't figure this girl out...she was a good dancer and very, very beautiful...but she just sat down nearly the entire evening (and so did I, incidentally). I believe I was the first guy that asked her and she was really fun to dance with...very different styles but a lot of passion and eye contact. I actually had trouble leading her and made a ton of mistakes...but she didn't seem to mind. :oops: :D

But later on she only danced with one other guy...and turned all the rest down. I should've asked her to dance again but I sissied out...hopefully I will see her there again...and when I'm in a better frame of mind for dancing. ;)

This gives me an idea for a new thread...:)

LOL... no such luck my friend. I was trying to sort through over a year of photo prints that i need to select from before I head out to FL (hurricane allowing, of course) Monday night.

Do I at least get an honorable mention for staying in a Salsa club until it closed and the security officers asked us to leave? :D
That sounds like it deserves honorable mention in my book, so here you go... you are now "honorably mentioned!" :wink:

[salsachinita]

Staying at a salsa club til we get kicked out is a regular (at least twice a week) thing for me :wink: .....!

[danceguy]

Well goody little gumdrops for you then! :D :tongue:

I rarely stay until the clubs close in my area... mostly because as the hour gets later, the women start to leave and more guys show up...and then the ratio of men to women can be 4 to 1 or more... :? :x :roll:

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

Just back from salsa... got to go to bed earlier than last night... past 7am is just too late to go to bed... even for me! :shock:

[danceguy]

Yes, that is pretty late (or early rather)! I went to bed at 1:30 am and got a good solid 8 hours of sleep! That 4:30 am business is a tad too much for me... :roll: :D

SG

Your avatars, one on top of the other, made me dizzy! :lol:

SG

[Purr]

It's a little past 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, and I can't believe I'm still up. I think I'm just too wired to go to sleep right now. I got home just before midnight, after having dinner with a friend & watching a Richard Gere movie on HBO. Well, tomorrow's a holiday, so I can sleep in.

I'd better not tell anyone (SG) about this little episode, or my ERC membership will be revoked! :wink:

[danceguy]

You're not very good at being discreet, are you Purr? I think a banning would be in order just for watching Richard Gere. :D

1:17 am - Back from two different Salsa venues. Boy did I do something really stupid tonight. Went to the first venue that my teacher does twice a month...had some nice ladies show up and the local band had a singer visting from Cuba who had a really incredible voice. So I'm there enjoying the music...and chatting it up with this really attractive lady I met during the lesson that didn't know much Salsa, but was very passionate and fun to talk with.

So I leave early since the other club has a live band...I get there and its packed...but after an hour or so I'm bored! The music is mediocre...way too many guys...ugh I can't stand the place! And to think I could've stayed at the smaller venue, heard really good music and danced with some really nice ladies....:doh: :headwall: :doh:

Lesson learned...next time I'm at the first venue...I'm going to stay all night and dance with everyone...:roll: :shock: :shock: :wink:

SG

[Purr]

[Sagitta]

4:11a.m. and I have to be at class at 8:00 today morning. :(

[Sagitta]

2:50am EST and again I need to be at 8:00AM class. Luckily I fell asleep at 6:00pm and just woke up half an hour ago, so I have had some sleep. Time to do HW, I guess. :?

[danceguy]

1:00 am - Just back from some Salsa...didn't dance a whole lot...but had some good dances! More Salsa tomorrow night...and maybe more this weekend.

Hmm, I'm home late, house is a mess...I think I've reached a new stage in Salsa fever. :D ;)

SG

[Danish Guy]

Hmm, I'm home late, house is a mess...

This sound familiar!

[squirrel]

:) yeah it sure does!

[Sagitta]

right now mine too... back home at 1:12 a.m. EST :? :)

[danceguy]

11:50 pm here - Not quite IRU hours though! :D

Just back from another night of Salsa...wasn't feeling well (my neck and back and majorly out of whack...seeing my Osteopath tomorrow)...had to sit down during the lesson, but I manged to get some pretty good dances in...

Speaking of messy houses...mine is even worse today...what a disaster! Gotta love Salsa! Tomorrow night I'm going out for some Ballroom...then more Salsa on Sunday...life is good despite having a migraine and a sore back! :shock: :? :wink:

SG

[Sagitta]

I'm back at home. Need to go to bed soon as I work at ten tomorrow. Plus must start doing Spanish too. I have missed doing what I should since Wednesday night, but must not let myself lapse too long.....I went to Dance mix tonight and tried to leave, but I was persuaded to stay on. I ended up missing Ar. Tango, only getting the clearing up of the dance and no songs. :( I so wanted to do just one song after last night's fiasco. I have never felt so awful before last night, and it was hard to dance tonight as well. But, as long as I kept it all bubbly I was fine. :?

[pygmalion]

Hang in, Sagitta. 8)

[cocodrilo]

Went to band practice last night and I was really looking forward to practicing "A Night in Tunisia"(Dizzy Gillespie, c. 1942 be-bop) but it seemed I was the only one that practiced the darn song, and no one could get it! I was really hoping to sing that one at our gig next Sunday. Guess not. :? (If you are into jazz, there's a very cool Anita O'day version of this song!)

[SDsalsaguy]

Just got into PA this evening and, in true IRU style, am happy to report that I never made it to bed prior to 3:00am while I was down in FL at the USDSC.

[Sagitta]

Checking in at 1:00a.m. Spanish class is going to be rough...And then I have 14 pages of listening exercises to do before I assist in latin class at 7:00p.m.!! Ouch! PLus prepare for my Tuesday quiz...

[NeoDevin]

11:34 here....

It seems happy and random thoughts is catching up to the IRU...

[pygmalion]

Tsk tsk tsk!! I guess you're just going to have to do something about that, huh, NeoDevin? :wink:

1:44 AM. Checkin in. 8)

[danceguy]

11pm - Checking in...wait...its not past midnight. My salsa night ended a little after 10 pm so does that still count? :lol:

No more IRU for me...gotta get on a better schedule....early to bed, early to rise...makes a man healthy...wealthy and something else...hmm...can't recall. :roll:

SG

[Sagitta]

Heading to bed at 12:28a.m Quiz in 7.5 hours... :?

[NeoDevin]

Well, it's 1:16, I planned to be in bed about 3 hours ago... guess things don't always go as planned huh?

[Laura]

I'm here...Chinese Class got out at 9pm...Vietnamese food with Hubby-san...now watching "Iron Chef." It's a very Asian evening.

[cocodrilo]

Gotta get to bed before midnight. Tomorrow will be an all-nighter- opera at 7:00, cocktails at 9:00, dinner afterwards followed by more cocktails then DANCING! (If we are all still standing then!)

[pygmalion]

Sounds like a blast!! Hope you have fun. :D

[Sagitta]

5:18a.m. What's the point of going to bed when I must get up at 7:00? I guess I have about 2 hours to study and IRU/df time.

[NeoDevin]

I got to bed about 3:00 am last night (this morning), and because of that I managed to sleep through my first class of the day :shock:

[Sagitta]

I got to bed about 3:00 am last night (this morning), and because of that I managed to sleep through my first class of the day :shock:

ND good to see you around, but going to bed late is no excuse. You got to follow the example of a true IRU salsero and still get to your class on time. 12:13a.m. EST and I'm going to have to study a bit before heading to bed. Follow my example one and all. :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

12:30am here (I'm in PA visiting my dad and half siblings). Had a nice long talk with my half-sister tonight, about school, traveling, etc., as she just got back from spending half a year in Sydney and is starting to think about colleges for next year.

[NeoDevin]

It's 12:17 now, I went to a tap class today (First one of the semester)... it was WAY above my head... so I left that one and tried another one... it was way too easy... there's no happy medium.

Anyways, there's a class that's supposed to be slightly more challenging tomorrow night, hopefully that one works out well.

[danceguy]

3:20 am - Just back from a very late night of Salsa and early morning eating after the dance. Bad night for me...I hardly danced...just exhausted and out of it...but I got to get a few hours of sleep since there is a big Salsa event tomorrow. 8)

Anyone else up in the IRU house? These late nights are bad for an early riser who must be at work by 8 am (4.5 hours)...maybe I should just quit my job... :roll: :twisted:

*Cough* *Cough*....you did *ahem* talk to her about *the plan* didn't you!?!?!!?!??! :?: :!: :idea: :?:

Alright...night all...I gotta get some rest and hope that my next night out I will actually be in the mood to dance.... :oops: :wink:

The thought crosses my mind every time I hear about great Thursday nights (arguably the best night to salsa in Glasgow -- I have no way of verifying this claim :evil:)...

(No, I'm not really in the IRU house, just having a sneaky peek. It's late morning here, and yes, I should be working... :oops: )

[SDsalsaguy]

P.S. I just know that SD is asleep already...sissy! :tongue:
:eyebrow: :eyebrow: :eyebrow:

[NeoDevin]

Ok, I suppose I should probably check out at 1:21 am... need to get to sleep so I can do it all again tomorrow. On another note, I think I found a tap class at about the right level where I am now.

[NeoDevin]

Anyone else in the house? It's 4:44 here.

I don't think, I believe :lol: you were still awake :(

[SDsalsaguy]

No, today I am actually awake, and not *still* awake... but since I', in PA for a few more hours that means that it is coming up on 10:00am here... which isn't to say there haven't been days I've gone to bed later than that! :shock:

[SDsalsaguy]

Actually only 12:45am here... but since I'm still on East Coast time, make that 3:45am... :shock:

[SDsalsaguy]

1:39am (but 4:39am to my body)... think I might start wrapping up for the night and trying to clear some room on my bed to get some sleep...

(Soon to be) night-night DF... :wink:

12:52am here and I just got back from a hike. Hubby-san, a bunch of friends, and I hiked up a high hill to get a beautiful nighttime view of San Francisco. It's a gorgeous clear and warm night here.

It's now 5:30 tomorrow afternoon (I never went to bed at all last night), and tonight may be another all nighter.

[danceguy]

Bah, I say! Neo knows about my insomnia record...if anyone ever breaks it, be sure to give me a call! I've yet to meet another who has, not to say it can't be done...but its certainly not an easy task by any means! :?

SG

[Sagitta]

Back from being out. 2:07am EST.

[sanityhaven]

What is your insomnia record SG?

As it looks like I'll be pulling an all nighter, I figured it was a good time to start posting here. :) .

[SDsalsaguy]

Heya SH... welcome to the IRU! :D :D :D

[NeoDevin]

it's now 8:45 am, after not sleeping for another night. I did however cheat and get a little bit of sleep during some of my classes yesterday :oops: . Not counting that, this is hour #48, and going strong.

What's your record there SG?

[pygmalion]

Sleeping in class? :shock: Tsk tsk tsk. Haven't done that in years! :wink:

[NeoDevin]

It's now hour 49, and I gotta head off to school. Surprisingly I don't even feel tired anymore, I guess I'm too tired to feel tired, hehe.

[danceguy]

I think I told you before Neo, my record is three weeks without any sleep at all. Trust me, its something I NEVER want to do again! It took me several months to recover afterwards... :? :oops:

65:42 right now since I got up, I'll be going to bed after I take a shower, so it'll be about 66 hours total.

[SDsalsaguy]

1:16am here... old "friend" just called me on the phone... ummm, why did I answer the phone? :doh:

It's 12:45 here, I'm off to bed. G'nite all

Back home - 3:33am EST :)

G'nite all

12:40 am - Just up messing around with my new PowerBook G4! Man I love this thing...first new computer in many, many years. :)

Gotta work on staying up late for my night out tomorrow. ;)

Neo - glad to hear you went to bed finally...staying up that late ain't healthy! :?

SG

[danceguy]

3:00 am - Back from Salsa...my first night ever going to a Salsa club and not dancing even once. Hmm, it was fun just to watch...but I know now that taking more time away is what needs to be done.

So, off to the woods for a while... :wink:

SG

[cocodrilo]

I have to learn 3 new songs to sing with my band by 10/17, our next gig at a club. They're bossa nova tunes, in PORTUGESE! I'm finding this language impossible to deal with! :evil:

[Sagitta]

SG - What's going on? First it is yes and then no? Take care, man!

COco..Portuguese is a beautiful language - stick with it!!

3:20am here now by the way...

[SDsalsaguy]

1:24am here now... trying to get a bit more writing done before calling it a night. Tomorrow is my first day of sections for the quarter... I wonder how my students will be this time? Fall is typically good, as almost all of my students are entering college for the first time and thus still open to, and willing, to learn...

[SDsalsaguy]

12:35am... home from salsa. First time I've been out in a month and man, am I rusty!!! :shock: :oops: :shock:

Ack!

Still, one of my favorite follows may actually be taking me up on the idea of getting together just to practice on a regular basis. That'll be great if it pans out... :D

3:09am now... off to bed I go...

[salsachinita]

Night night, SD!

I'm about to get ready for salsa myself. It's only 8 15pm here.

[SDsalsaguy]

About to go for a pre-salsa nap myself...

And I know, for a fact, that it is IRU hours somewhere in the world at the very moment, so I dedicate this post to those unknown (and unknowing?) IRU people, where ever they may be! :D

Oh yeah, I also had 7,099 posts before making this one... now I have 7,100! :lol:

[cocodrilo]

Had band practice till 1:00am last night. Drummer was pouring me shochu(distilled spirit similar to vodka) and I somehow feel a tad hungover this morning. Teaching kids from 9:00-2:00, might have to bag on the salsa practice today- I'm tired from the rest of the week finally catching up with me NOW. :(

[Laura]

Just got back from a ballroom party...and I have to leave for practice tomorrow in seven hours, but Hubby-san and I are watching "Return of the Jedi". :)

[SDsalsaguy]

1:40am here...

Got home from salsa a little while ago...

On the phone with a friend, juat ordered a pizza, have Iron Chef coming up soon, and then I'll try and getting some writing done...

[sanityhaven]

Just checking in. Got back in from dancing about a half hour ago. It's around 1:45 now.

On the phone with a friend, just ordered a pizza, have Iron Chef coming up soon, and then I'll try and getting some writing done...

I hear ya, I have some work to do myself. I just picked myself up some mexican food to fuel me through the night.

[NeoDevin]

It's 4:46 in the morning now, I'm really tired, but can't get to sleep :(

[SDsalsaguy]

4:20am here now...

[cocodrilo]

It's 4:46 in the morning now, I'm really tired, but can't get to sleep :(Try Valerian root, boy! That'll relax you enough to get a good night's sleep!

Well, in this given situation, tomorrow is Sunday so, strictly speaking, no, I don't have to go to work... :lol:

Seriously though, a somewhat earlier bed time probably would be a good idea, but the start times for my weekdays do let me get a little extra sleep in the a.m. to compensate for my late hours...

Anyway, I think I'm going to head off to bed now (6:09am BTW)...

Night-night DF!

[Sagitta]

12:15 a.m EST.

[SDsalsaguy]

Muttering to self: I am not staying up as late tonight, I am not staying up as late tonight, I am not staying up as late tonight... :oops:

[danceguy]

Huh? Its only 11:20 pm our time...I am getting sleepy though...gotta get back on my ERC schedule for sure though. :D

SG

[pygmalion]

:shock: Whatever for? Where's the fun in getting a full night's slepp and waking up *******ed? I mean, you probably do have much more productive days, but really LOUSY stories to tell your friends.

I've gotta stay up late more often. I'm bleary eyed this morning, but hey, at least I have something to talk about at the water cooler. :wink: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Huh? Its only 11:20 pm our time...
Silly boy! I only said I wasn't going to stay up *as * late... which had been 6:30am! And I didn't! Last night I went to bed around 1:30am, so much, much earlier. :D

And please do heed Jenn's sage advice. She's a smart woman you know!

[danceguy]

Who you callin' boy mister? I'll have you know I'll be 30 this month...oops...argh...*sigh*... :oops: :shock: :roll: :wink:

Well we all know that Pygmalion is one of them there wild women...me I'm jus an ol' fashioned gentleman and ain't got the time for sparkin' no fiesty fillies. :ladiesma: :cowboy:

[Sagitta]

12:07 EST :?

[SDsalsaguy]

Why :? Sagitta? :? :wink:

[Sagitta]

:P Guess!

[danceguy]

You should've done your homework for Spanish class, but instead went out dancing with some beautiful ladies and set the dance floor on fire. The memory of the closeness of their embrace, the scent of the perfume is deep within your heart, and although it beats alone now, when you close your eyes, you can still feel another heart beating near your own.

The trance has filled you, left you speechless...so in your dreams, you will be dancing again...in the stars...

Buenos noches.

SG

[NeoDevin]

It's 11:37 here, not exactly IRU hours, but I'm going to bed anyways. I spent the last 5 or so hours doing physics homework, so it feels like it's later, if that counts?

[DanceMentor]

It's 1:44 am here and I'm excited about the dedicated server. I don't think I am ready to go to sleep for a while.

[SDsalsaguy]

Nice to see you in the IRU DM... although I know you have the credentials! :lol:

The Deicated Server rocks BTW! :rocker:

[DanceMentor]

Yes, we are rockin' now!

DM................... :uplaugh:

Midnight here, so I guess this could be consided an "official" IRU check in posting.

[danceguy]

1:11 am - Time for bed...I'll never get used to this IRU business. ERC, is what's for me. :D :wink:

Congrats on the new server! :cheers:

SG

[SDsalsaguy]

...I'll never get used to this IRU business. ERC, is what's for me. :D :wink:
Umm, so why do we see you here so often? :wink: :lol:

[sanityhaven]

Just checking in. It's now 2:58 here

[Sagitta]

1:30am EST

Goodnight.

[SDsalsaguy]

Only 10:40pm here, so a while yet before IRU check in for me... *but* Iron Chef is on in 20 minutes! :D

[SDsalsaguy]

1:43am here now... so "checking in." Prepping my teaching materials for tomorrow... should be getting to bed within the hour....

[pygmalion]

Only 10:40pm here, so a while yet before IRU check in for me... *but* Iron Chef is on in 20 minutes! :D

If the Iron Chef is on, it must be IRU time! :lol: 8)

If only in our dreams. :roll: :lol:

[Sagitta]

12:06am EST

Yawn

[danceguy]

11:10 pm - Amazing I got my butt out dancing tonight, had a pretty good time too. Did some ECS, Waltz, Foxtrot, Rumba, NC2S...amazing how much you forget when you don't practice...but I did ok...the ladies kept asking me to dance, and how could I say no to them? Even just doing basics is fun with someone appreciates you as a dance partner. :friend:

One Salsa was played during the entire night...and it wasn't a real Salsa! Grr...*hiss* :headwall: ...I waited for another until almost the end of the dance and then I called it a night. :doh:

Got to watch some Bolero...what a beautiful dance...I might have to take some lessons...very sensual! :bouncy:

I so wanted some Salsa tonight...and the only remedy is to go out this Sunday...even though I'm on dance hiatus (wait, I just went dancing...DARN IT! :lol:)...umm...you know I don't think I could ever give up dance...all in all I had fun tonight...hopefully my dance break is over now... :roll: :wink:

SG

[pygmalion]

Do whatever makes you comfortable, SG. A hiatus can be a good thing, too. 8)

Glad you had fun, btw. :D

[Sagitta]

12:05am EST goodnight

[NeoDevin]

2:30 am, good night, I hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving :lol:

[pygmalion]

Uhh... That's Columbus Day, sweetie. :mrgreen:

[NeoDevin]

Not if you're Canadian

[pygmalion]

Thanksgiving is October 11 in Canada? Hmm. You learn something every day. What is being commemorated? (Not that I understand what Americans commemorate, either LOL) Just figured I'd ask. 8)

Edit: It's the second Monday in October, not necessarily the 11th.

[pygmalion]

Man! He logged off. Now I have to :google:

[pygmalion]

No fair. Canada gets not nearly enough respect. Everybody else got a whole paragraph. What does Canada get? A sentence or two. Defintely no fair. I didn't even know Canada had a Thanksgiving holiday, and it's been around since the nineteenth century. Looks like roughly the same story as the US -- thankfulness for a bountiful harvest.

http://www.holidays.net/thanksgiving/story.htm

[Sagitta]

3:56am EST and there doesn't seem to be anyone around? :shock: Not fair!!@!!

[SDsalsaguy]

Silly Sagitta, I'm around! :wink:

[danceguy]

3:40 am - Back from a very late night of Salsa...just sat and watched but no dancing for me...and now its time for bed. :oops:

zzzzzzzzzzz

[SDsalsaguy]

:shock:

SG went to bed later than I did last night!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

[danceguy]

And woke up at 8:30 am since they are doing construction in my apartment complex...nothing like a jackhammer to jolt you out of bed! :shock: :x :evil:

Time to move real soon! :roll:

[Sagitta]

So move!! :P :)

Back from dancing. I am supposed to go to bed so I can wake up early tomorow and what do I do? Chat on df and sign into IRU!! :oops:

[SDsalsaguy]

Not even close to IRU hours here yet... :?

[Sagitta]

1:46am

I'm alive and well. I have mass tomorrow at ten and here I am. I can't sleep anyway, so why don't I while my time away. :wink: :)

[SDsalsaguy]

Only 10:42pm here and, while my back's still "under repairs," no salsa for me... :cry:

[Sagitta]

Only 10:42pm here and, while my back's still "under repairs," no salsa for me... :cry:

Pole sana!

[Patapouf]

Let me make my virgin post in IRU :rocker:

I'm not usually a late night person on weekdays, on weekends I stay up late salsaing, but not today! It's a Saturday night 2.30 am, and guess what, I am working! :? I have been sacrificing my dancing for work lately. :cry: I've been so stressed out for my school and work, been sooooo busy (no exageration), last week I worked 16 hrs 3 days in a roll. Graduate students are slaves :( :? All this work + pressure of graduation is so depressing, no matter how hard I try I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, because every week I just keep having more and more to do before I even complete what I had to do last week. All this has been building up for quite a while but I never talk to anyone about that. I think all this is just exploding now. I've been crying on and off this weekend (Note: I'm not usually like that!). I know this's temporarily and I just need to get past that...... (I'm tearing up again :cry: )

Anyway, let me get back to my work, sorry for such a whining post, just need an outlet.... Thanks....

[Sagitta]

No need to apologise. We all need to vent now and then. Hope you got my pm.

[SDsalsaguy]

Sorry to hear of the circumstances for your inaugural IRU post Bargeot. :(

Being in graduate school myself, I can more than sympathize... :?

[pygmalion]

Oh Bargeot! :(

I'm sending you a virtual hug. You will get through this. It may not seem like it now, but I know you will. Hang in. :friend:

[SDsalsaguy]

2:05am here and I think I'll be heading for bed...

[Sagitta]

I was so embarrassed about going to bed late when I promised myself to be in bed by 11 that I slunk into bed at an undisclosed time. :oops:

[SDsalsaguy]

Ummm, Sagitta... this (the IRU) probably isn't the best place to get sympathy for going to bed late... :wink: :lol:

[Pacion]

Ummm, Sagitta... this (the IRU) probably isn't the best place to get sympathy for going to bed late... :wink: :lol:

:idea: How about an ETB Club thread :roll: "Early to Bed" Club :lol:

[tj]

Let's see....

10PM Left home to go dancing.
2:30AM Left the StuckOnSalsa party
3AM Went with Vin and Miss L. for a bite to eat.
4AM Dropped off Miss L.
4:05AM Dropped off Vin
4:45AM Brushed teeth and went to bed...

It's a much later scene in DC. In Denver and Seattle, the clubs close by 1:30. There was plenty of dancing still going on when I left.

[pygmalion]

On a random Sunday night? :shock: You folks are diehards... and that's a good thing. 8)

[tj]

On a random Sunday night? :shock: You folks are diehards... and that's a good thing. 8)

Lol - in my case, it was on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Wasn't on-line til today...

[Vin]

TJ, it took you 40 minutes to get home, ouch. Next weekend I am coming to pick you, nuff said.

[Pacion]

Ooooh! If you are going to be doing the driving, any chance of taking a route via London and pick me up also? :lol: I promise to pack light - I will pack everything other than the kitchen sink :wink: :wink:

[tj]

TJ, it took you 40 minutes to get home, ouch. Next weekend I am coming to pick you, nuff said.

Err... those were only rough estimates, actually!

And I was driving only 5 mph over the speed limit after the 2nd cop passed me by!

But hey, to carpooling: :cheers:


-----------------------------------------------------------------


(...and since you offered to drive, you can go pick up Pacion, ok?) 8)

[pygmalion]

Yup. Getting home from a weekend dance can be a nightmare. The police are out patrolling for drunks, but any (slight) speeder will do. :x :(

[pygmalion]

My first true IRU night in a while. Visions of action items keep dancing in my head, so what the heck! Just get up and do something, rather than lie in bad and think about it. Right? :? :(

[SDsalsaguy]

My first true IRU night in a while.
Welcome back Jenn! :banana:

1:08am here now... sort of rolling on this section of writing i'm trying to wrap up, so just taking a quick break from that.

On a side note, today was the first day it has rained here in six months... I *hate* rain. :( The way I figure it, I travel often enough, so why can't it just rain on those days, when i'm out of town? :?

[sanityhaven]

My first true IRU night in a while. Visions of action items keep dancing in my head, so what the heck! Just get up and do something, rather than lie in bad and think about it. Right? :? :(

But if you don't lie in bed thinking of stuff, what's it really good for anyway? :)

[SDsalsaguy]

But if you don't lie in bed thinking of stuff, what's it really good for anyway? :)
Ummm.... sleep? :wink:

[pygmalion]

Reading a good book? Storing all those pesky stuffed animals? The possibilities are endless. :wink: :lol:

[sanityhaven]

:lol: :lol:

Sleep eh, I may have to google that. :D

[SDsalsaguy]

The possibilities are endless. :wink: :lol:
Oh really? :raisebro: :raisebro:

[pygmalion]

It's really scary, the silliness one can get into in the wee hours of the morning. :roll: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

:lol: :lol:

Sleep eh, I may have to google that. :D
Tell me what you find... :oops:

By the way, I hope you realize how fortunate you are... I mean seriously now, who better to have in the IRU house tonight if you need any help with your googling than Jenn??? :wink: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

It's really scary, the silliness one can get into in the wee hours of the morning. :roll: :lol:
It is, isn't it? :lol:

[pygmalion]

This is getting to be a habit, again. Up at 4:00 this morning. too much to do. :(

[SDsalsaguy]

Maybe... but doesn't it make it all worth it to know how proud the IRU membership is of such antics? :wink:

[Sagitta]

12:52am EST

Woke up to fininish my Spanish hw. :oops: I'm going to be up for a while.

[pygmalion]

I was awake again today at 4:00 AM, but made myself stay in bed and rest. Staying awake and busy doesn't seem to be making me any more productive, just grumpier. :lol: :cry:

[SDsalsaguy]

I actuall went to bed before minight last night ( :shock: :oops: )... and see what happens? I'm awake before 5:00am!!! :shock: :shock: :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops:

[MacMoto]

I actuall went to bed before minight last night ( :shock: :oops: )... and see what happens? I'm awake before 5:00am!!! :shock: :shock: :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops:
Time to visit ERC? :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

Watch your mouth! :wink: :lol:

[Sagitta]

1:09AM EST here

[SDsalsaguy]

Iron Chef time here... :D

[NeoDevin]

After 1 here, time for bed...

[SDsalsaguy]

1:00am here too.

As of today I have 150 pages written... :shock:

[pygmalion]

Coo. It's actually turning into a book. Hmm. I wonder if I'll be seeing your name in lights on the internet. A lot of people's theses end up on the web, these days. :roll: :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

Well, it certainly is typical for dissertations to be rewritten as books... and I plan to follow that path as well! :D

[pygmalion]

Good luck. :D

[SDsalsaguy]

Thanks, there's still a long path ahead... :?

[pygmalion]

150 pages is a darn good start. 8)

[SDsalsaguy]

Thanks Jenn... almost 1/3 of the way there I'd estimate. :shock:

[pygmalion]

And you're on a roll. :wink: 8)

[SDsalsaguy]

G-d I hope so...

And, just for the record (since this is in the IRU afetr all), I went to be around 2:20am...

What I'm doing up at 8:30am, however, is totally beyond me... :?

[NeoDevin]

I went to bed around 6:30, and now I'm up at 11:45

[peachexploration]

2am, Off to bedzzzzzzzzzzz

[SDsalsaguy]

Only 11:45pm here... came home early as I'm still trying to be careful with my back after my recent injury. Feels OK but a bit tender, so I didn't want to push it too far. Had two very enjoyable dances with the best salsera there before leaving though, so I'm all :D's!

[Sagitta]

3:58am EST. :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

1:04am here now... World Pizza Championships are on TV now... :shock:

[pygmalion]

You've gotta give up that late-night food network addiction, my friend. :wink: :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

I do? :shock:

Why?

Besides, it was just an appetizer for the 2am showing of the IRU' favorite show... :wink:

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol: Just kidding. :wink:

[SDsalsaguy]

Phew! You had me concerned for a little while there... :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Last night's Iron Chef was a timely one... Pumpkin Battle! :D

[pygmalion]

Did anybody make pumpkin bread? That stuff is delicious. It sounds disgusting (to me, at least) but it tastes really good.

[SDsalsaguy]

Nope. Nor a pumpkin pie. :(

The challenger made a very strange version of pumpkin ice cream, but apparently it was quite good as he won over Iron Chef Chen Kinichi.

[pygmalion]

All I ever make is (plastic) pumpkin jack-o-lanterns. :oops: :lol: Pumpkin doesn't appeal to me. It's too much like fake sweet potato. :lol:

[SDsalsaguy]

Personally I like pumpkin a lot... but I thought that challenger, who was an Italian style chef, might have made a pumpkin ravioli along the lines of a butternut squash one... shows you what I know... :oops:

[Sagitta]

2:06 am EST. I am back from dancing.

[cocodrilo]

I make pumpkin pies every year. I steam a Japanese pumpkin("kabocha") which has a richer taste & is naturally sweeter than that watery canned crap we can get at import stores. For pumpkin bread, I have a recipe which utilizes whole wheat flour, tons of spices & pine nuts. It is from a native American cookbook. I will post the recipe in the cooking forum next time I make it.

[pygmalion]

Yep. The people who like pumpkin, like it a lot. I remember my first pumpkin experience. It was pumpkin pie, and I bit nto it thinking of sweet potato. Eeek! :shock: Pumpkin is NOT sweet potato. *shudder* No more pumpkin for me. :(

[SDsalsaguy]

Mmmm, I'll keep an eye out for that!

They actually had three types of pumpkins in the Iron Chef pumpkin battle... two kinds were green (on the surface) and one was orange... who knew??? (Well, probably people living polaces where they don;t just get orange pumpkins... :oops: )

[Sagitta]

12:01 goodnight! Three nights of lack of sleep from all the dancing exciteent and I cacnmot keep my eyes open any longer..zzzz.......

[SDsalsaguy]

10 minutes until Iron Chef....

[sanityhaven]

10 minutes until Iron Chef....

Sometimes I wish I had cable...

[MacMoto]

... I steam a Japanese pumpkin("kabocha") which has a richer taste & is naturally sweeter than that watery canned crap we can get at import stores.
I absolutely LOVE kabocha -- it occasionally appears at a local supermarket (labelled "Kabocha" :lol:, not pumpkin). I have a couple of recipes for Kabocha, but your pumpkin bread sounds yummy!

[SDsalsaguy]

10 minutes until Iron Chef....

Sometimes I wish I had cable...
I didn't for the first four and a half years I lived here. Actually, I didn't even have an antena on the TV... it was purely for videos only! ...in some ways that was better... :?

[salsachinita]

I tend to agree.....getting hooked on TV (& not able to tape the shows :x ) means there's actually a choice to be made when it comes time to go dancing :wink: ...........

[peachexploration]

2:15am. Off to bed...Goodnight all. :D

[SDsalsaguy]

Night-night peach! :D

Mid Iron Chef at the moment here -- Giant Mushroom (from Australia!) Battle! :D
