Between dealing with the vandals stealing the stop sign on the corner last night (called it in), dealing with the teenaged male twits who thought it would be "funny" to put the giant wooden post out into the intersection (ran them down and read them the riot act), and general annoyances of biology, this has *not* been a good day. Nor has it been the productive day I needed it to be. It has, in fact, been a curl-up-on-the-couch-with-a-heating-pad kind of day, surfing the Web and trying to distract myself.

Fortunately, I discovered a whole smegging ton of really good ballet clips on YouTube. It figures that ballet being the visual medium it is, there would be clips - and from the comments, there are a lot of dancers out there using YouTube as a resource for learning their craft (or maybe they're just a bunch of wannabe posers, but still, reading the comments about performing these bits of choreography and what the steps are and how *did* the dancers manage this effect or that is all fascinating stuff).

And then there are clips like this one, which make me laugh even when the day sucks:

Sorry you're day was so annoying.

You can never go wrong with Muppets or Gilda Radner to make one laugh. ;D Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Great clip! (It's esp good because whoever is in the Miss Piggy suit actually has technique!)

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone! Yes, today was much better. The stop sign has been replaced by the city, the remnants of the old sign have been carted away out of harm's reach, and I did *not* have to deal with any brainless teenaged males bent on mindless mayhem. Definitely an improvement all around!
