Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 1/9/16 - East Houston Aikido Club

Did not make it to class.

Beltway 8 was closed as they removed the tollbooths.

I-10 was closed heading East.  I did not discover this until I'd exited 610 and was on I-10 headed East.  It took me an hour and a half to make it to an exit so I could turn around and go home.

If I'd known about the I-10 closure, I would have taken the Fred Hartmann bridge or the Baytown tunnel.

UGH.

Volleyball, 0-3

Opponent:Deep Corners, 6 p.m.

Played one of the power teams and lost all 3.  But we played decently, and all of the games were close.

The first one was 18-21, the second 22-23 and the third was 13-15.  could not have been much closer.

Aikido Wednesday Night - 12/30/15 - East Houston Aikido Club

Aikido players:

Phillip,  Marvin, and Dan

Ukemi:

Got in a full set

The Walk:

Once

Releases:

Worked with Dan.

Techniques:

Worked with Dan on Hiki Otoshi. 

Took Hiki Otoshi from Phillip - his has a very different feel.  He attempts to keep the arm in an arm bar as uke is on his way to the ground (when he's not attempting a big throw).  I really dislike that as it feels unsafe.  Then I took the same technique as a big fall from Phillip, as an unsupported big fall, and ended up with ribs hurting more than normal.

We normally do no big falls without providing some support to uke: it reduces the variability in uke's fall and reduces uke's impact on the ground as well.

Commentary:

Not a fan of working with Phillip directly at the moment.

Books read 7/1/2015 - 12/31/2015

29 books over the past 6 months.  I caught up on most of the recent Nebula Award winners and some other series that I found at Half-Price.  Also got in a Steve Jobs biography.

Tried the Ann Leckie series, won't be purchasing Ancillary Mercy as the previous two just didn't connect with me.  The Hemry Paul Sinclair stuff is fun, but could be subtitled "Lawyers in Space rush back to station for Courts Martial."  The Thurman book might inspire me to check out his other books as it was a first novel, I had no expectations going into the book and ended up enjoying it.

Of the Nebula winners, I think the Swanwick, Bear, Clarke, Panshin, and Murphy were the most enjoyable.

Asimov, Isaac - The Gods Themselves

Bear, Greg - Moving Mars

Bishop, Michael - No Enemy But Time

Clarke, Arthur C. - The Fountains of Paradise

Delany, Samuel R - The Einstein Intersection

Delany, Samuel R - Stars in my Pockets Like Grains of Sand (DNF)

De Lint, Charles - Jack in the Green

Fleuter, Ben - Derelict Book 1 Graphic Novel

Finn, Ed and Cramer, Kathryn - Hieroglyph

Hemry, John G - Against All Enemies
Hemry, John G - Rule of Evidence
Hemry, John G - A Just Determination
Hemry, John G - Burden of Proof



Isaacson, Walter - Steve Jobs

Le Guin, Ursula K. - The Dispossessed
Le Guin, Ursula K. - The Left Hand of Darkness

Leckie, Ann - Ancillary Justice
Leckie, Ann - Ancillary Sword

Lee, Sharon and Miller, Steve - Dragon in Exile

McCaffrey, Anne - Sky Dragons

Murphy, Pat - The Falling Woman

Panshin, Alexei - Rite of Passage

Sawyer, Robert J. - The Terminal Experiment

Scalzi, John - The End of All Things

Scarborough, Elizabeth Ann - The Healer's War

Silverberg, Robert - A Time of Changes

Swanwick, Michael - Stations of the Tide
