An Ever Fixed Mark: August 2009

http://an-ever-fixed-mark.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

An Ever Fixed Mark. Thursday, August 06, 2009. Things I no longer have to do:. Flag down the colectivo. Here, the buses stop if you are at the bus stop! I flagged down the bus as I went into the center today, and the driver explained to me that I did not have to do that, he would stop at all bus stops if someone was there. I felt like an idiot. But it became second nature to step to the curb and raise my hand when I saw a bus coming towards me. She laughed, thought it was funny, and complimented my accent.

An Ever Fixed Mark: March 2009

An Ever Fixed Mark. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Not in my mind. Do I want to? There have been several instances where practicing with someone who was very influential in my formation as a dancer where the conversation went something like this:. Why are you doing this-thing? Because you told me to.". I don't know, about a year ago? You told me to always do this.". Oh Well, don't anymore. I no longer think that is the way to move/dance/embrace/etc.". Me silently (sometimes not so silently). A few good reads.

An Ever Fixed Mark: October 2009

An Ever Fixed Mark. Friday, October 16, 2009. You don't want to break up yet. Right? Possibly the best question I have ever been asked during a cortina. The tandas that we have are relationships. They are connections that either happen or don't. And when they do happen, they can be anything from playful to sweet to melancholy to intense. No connection is the same, and no connection can be recreated, even if you go back for more at another time, or if you have a "regular" thing. Friday, October 02, 2009.

An Ever Fixed Mark: May 2009

An Ever Fixed Mark. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. The last few practicas I have been practicing with an elusive leader whom I thoroughly enjoy dancing with. He is one of those challenging and thoroughly enjoyable leads, where each time we dance together, I get a little bit better and have a huge grin plastered over my face. We talked about alternative ways of moving. To add in as a little spice. Change up the side step, the back hook, etc. It's a new world again. Friday, May 01, 2009. Are you there Leader?

An Ever Fixed Mark: December 2009

An Ever Fixed Mark. Wednesday, December 09, 2009. I do not understand the need to "make" someone dance with you. It just goes against what a social dance should be to my mind. Two recent events have spurred this thought and title of this post, which reminds me of a two year old demanding something they can't have. A little while ago the final Tango de los Muertos happened in Boston, and it was a glorious time! The thing is, he never asks me why I don't accept his invitation, it is always a rather pointed...

An Ever Fixed Mark: April 2009

http://an-ever-fixed-mark.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

An Ever Fixed Mark. Monday, April 20, 2009. When it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. We leave for Buenos Aires in a little over a month. I am nervous, excited, and until this morning, I thought I was completely prepared. This morning I get an e-mail from the man whom I thought we had settled a rental agreement for his apartment with. Way back in February we met in Boston as he was visiting here, talked, agreed on dates and a price (which was a great price! I have to admit, my Irish was u...
