Hot Wheels, Angry Tendons

1) Hot wheels
On my way to the YMCA, there was a fantastic jam along AYE just off the Buona Vista exit. A car was engulfed by flames, and I went past just in time to see the fire engine arriving and extinguishing it. Yx took a few shots of the blazing scene though, but the dumb Nokia software refuses to work properly as usual, so I shall leave the pic to tomorrow. Rather shocking! No one was hurt; the passengers were all standing some distance away. How did the car catch fire - and end up with such huge flames some more? Don't most car owners have a fire extinguisher in the car?? Or maybe I'm just paranoid ..

2) Angry Tendons
It all started in the afternoon. Hit the sharp edge of my glass table using the elbow at full force, and the pain was exquisite. Even now I can't extend my arm fully, and it hurts like hell every time the triceps is used.

During Lindy, I tripped over Yx's shoes while doing a side charleston, and my right ankle just buckled. It wasn't sprained though, just almost.

Sigh. Bad tendon day.

3) The good parts!
Yay!!!! Had a CAC internal affairs committee meeting in the evening, finally confirmed the availability of webspace (took CAC a HELL lot of time - our club had our own website up 3 years ago, lol) and also 3 upcoming performances. I might not perform though, school's revving up the heat. And, our dear President Fauzan, tried to arrow me to be the vice-president (internal affairs) again! Erm. I'm busy, yes? It's quite enough managing just the Lindy Hop club, let alone managing the other 7 clubs in CAC. Crazy.

Finally talked to our 2 newcomers, Fiora and partner, about taking over the club next year! Yay!!! They were totally game for it!!! Gotto talk to Cheryl tomorrow about the same thing too, hopefully the 3 of them will make a good team. Yx will be off to Wisconsin from Jan to July, but I'll prolly be hanging around to help the new managing committee ease into their new jobs.

Also, we got an invitation to dance at Funkamania next year! It's going to be really hot - and Lindy Hop Ensemble Singapore very sportingly offered to do a joint performance with us, ooh!

Did the Russian Kick today during class. Very, very bad idea, some I can't use my right triceps effectively. And I'm supposed to be supporting the follower (yx) in the air while she does a split mid-air. So obviously all the weight bore down on my left wrist instead ... crap.
