Where are all the heretics?

Blogger, genius that it is, saved the entry I was writing last night when my computer got heat stroke. Here it is:

The high point of Thursday was probably when "L.O.V.E." by Ashlee Simpson (not to be confused with Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E") came on the radio on the bus. Apparently completely ridiculous songs are popular the world over.

Today at work I was pretty busy, which was nice. Went to check out a possible restaurant venue for our big dinner that all the local sponsors are invited to. It's in this cool old warehouse that's now an art gallery (of course) and the restaurant. They call it Suhe, which is short for Suzhou He (Suzhou river, which it's on) but also intentionally sounds like Soho. Or so I am told. It reminded me a lot of the MN Opera Center, actually, which made me nostaglic.

Ate near work and then came home so I would have time to do laundry. Watched some Grey's, but there seems to be a shift of styles and it's getting really intense now. Might have to switch to something more calming...like Lost. :P

Oh! I should explain better about yoga while I remember. They have classes starting every half-hour or so, which means there are about 4 classes I could make each weekday after work. They have Flow classes of various levels, Hot Yoga and the shortened version Hot Hour, and some other options that generally require a background of 5 Flow 1 classes. Some classes are in Chinese and some are in English, so it tends to be pretty clear what the best class is for me on a given day. Hot yoga is in a heated room, which supposedly makes the experience more effective and safer by heating your muscles, and releasing toxins.

Oh, and don't worry, the city is air conditioned pretty well, it's just that once you put too many people on a bus it sort of loses its effect.

Smart blogger--you & it. Suhe sounds really cool and a great place for a sponsors dinner.

Yoga smorgasbord, eh?
