sushi

First class in over a week. Felt slow and sloppy, so we worked at a nice mellow pace; lots of time on basic cuts at the beginning and finishing up with a couple of kata, getting nicely into details. Tried to focus on hand and blade control, making the sword go where it's supposed to, without forgetting about the feet and hips.
After class I fed Elvis cheap sushi served by non-Japanese waitresses with thick accents and we (what else?) talked smack about budo and babes.
His shinken will be ready next week, and he is SO looking forward to cutting himself repeatedly with it until he gets used to using a live blade a bit longer than the dull practice blade he uses now.
