More unarmed combat

Life is a lot better now that we have groceries. Stephen knows how to make scrambled eggs in the microwave, which sounds weird as hell but it's actually really good. Especially considering that we have really crappy cooking equipment. But breakfast is not a concern now, and I wasn't that sore when I woke up. We learned a few more unarmed techniques today, mostly throws, chokes, and stuff like that, so it was all really easy. Jason (one of the instructors) poked fun at me for letting my judo training show during the throws, but I managed to help out a bunch of people who were doing them completely wrong.

After lunch, we dove into choreography. I think Dave has something against bouncers, because every fight I've seen him choreograph on the fly involves somebody trying to get into a club and overpowering the hired help to get in. Did you get kicked out once or twice in your youth, Dave? It's okay.

When we got in, I walked the mile-or-so to the actual grocery store and got the last few essentials: butter, dish soap, limes, and beer. Stephen went and found a 24-hour gym that costs way too much for me to justify going. When he got back, we cooked some chicken in a very ill-suited pot, and made quesadillas with tortillas that hung over the pot's edges. We had a lot of making-do to do, but we got it all taken care of, and there's still a ton of frozen chicken breasts in the freezer. We just need to figure out what to do with all of them.

Hey, Pete, love the title of your blog! I know you'll have fun and we'll hope for the profit. Did Dave have bad experiences with bouncers? Inquiring minds want to know! I added you to my Google Reader, so I'll keep checking in.
