Day 60 – At Sea

Nothing too interesting for the beginning of my day, just made more headway on my journal and went to class. It’s really hard, in the immediate sense, to lock myself away in my room when people are lounging around in the sun on the top deck. But I know I’ll be happy I took the time to write once the voyage is over.

I grabbed an early dinner with Beth before going to spiritual dance. I just love spiritual dance. I feed off of the energy from the music and from the crowd. Though many people find it to be a huge emotional release, I just love taking the opportunity to let loose and dance. It’s a great workout, too.

In the evening, Tolan and I began to work on our Talent Show act. It was because we couldn’t perform Latin Chick at the Talent Show that we put it on SeaTV, yet that left us without an act and the performance was only two days away. So we decided to perform “Think about it” by Flight of the Conchords. I already knew the lyrics, but Tolan was only vaguely familiar with both the chords and lyrics. So he had to learn the song. My challenge was creating the intro.

After about an hour or so of practice, Tolan got a hang of the chords, but was still shaky on the lyrics. As for me, I thought of an intro poking fun at the censorship for the talent show, claiming we were “comedy bad boys” and that our original stuff was too “edgy and comedy bad boy” for this family friendly event.

Once we’d practiced, I worked on my journal for a while. Then I got a call from Nicole, she needed help putting the finishing touches on Latin Chick. So I went up and helped her for a while before going to bed.
