Low-motivation week, but that's far from unusual.

I've been watching pro-level Starcraft II a lot in the last week or so, and it's surprisingly interesting. I'd recently started re-playing the campaign, and I may actually try playing some vs. stuff online one of these days.

Virginia politics is a bit of a shitshow right now, but I've done a separate post for that.

Since everyone's talking about traveling, I'm going to NYC next weekend (don't recall if I mentioned this) to do some kung fu stuff in Chinatown. I'll miss the weekend family time, but it should be a lot of fun nonetheless. It'll be a small group from RVA, just myself, my student, and my sigung (teacher's teacher). I also have a "cousin" (same generation but different teacher) coming from TX, who may or may not bring some folks. We have folks in our direct organization up there, and then some more distant relatives (like grandteacher's brethren and their students, grand-students, etc.), but hopefully it'll still be plenty of new hands, and better still more new hands that are better than me.

And with that, I have to go take my car to the dealership for a software upgrade and hope they don't try to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit.
