Open foot insert mouth

Most of the time when I see something that is horrifically designed I ignore it and try to forget it exists. This is the same strategy I should have followed today. I looked up the website for my Aikido dojo, I con't even remember why, but it was the worst website I have seen since the Yale Art student website (which is surprisingly awful).

Well... I decided I just could not stand the thought of that website lurking on the internet so I made an offhand comment to my Sensei. *sigh* Some days it is just not even worth getting out of bed. In my defense when I googled the site this is what popped up.

...

Yeah. It's is just... there are no words.

It was while thinking of that website that I tried to nicely explain what was wrong. So much is wrong. Just so much.

Turns out I was looking at the old website and didn't even know it. When Sensei made an offhand remark about the old website being much worse I didn't believe him. I mean, how could that get any worse? Having everything in a comic sans/ papyrus mix wouldn't even make it that much more awful. I stumbled across the new website while looking for the old one. It's gorgeous.


It's almost as good as something Justgibs would do. Almost. But he is freaking legendary (or will be soon) and no mere person could compete with his greatness. The girl who redesigned that site does get an honorable mention though.

I can use the force

A friend from work has recently suckered me into taking Aikido with her. It has been a rather interesting experience. One I am not particularly good at. The only thing that keeps me going back to the classes is that I paid for three months up front (it was kind of required) and I like being able to say that I am learning how to use the Force.

Strictly speaking it's using the persons own momentum and force against them. I guess it's all about leverage and body movement...? Like I said I am not particularly good at it.

We do get to do the lazy Captain Morgan. It's hilarious. But more on that later.

If you're thinking "Mishi is going to learn how to that?"
followed by a growing sense of horror
I completely agree.
Mwahahahahahahaha!
