Lumpy
So, last night I asked our head instructor about head-tapping during sparring, and it turns out I was in the wrong. No head-tapping for lower belts. So, next time I see the green belt, I'll apologize to her, like a good little Shaolin.
Last night I also whacked myself in the head with the bo staff. Sorry, head.

Received payment this week for Year's Best Fantasy 6, whose table of contents I get to share with Heather and Tim, and other writers of note, such as Kelly Link and Bruce Sterling and Neil Gaiman. Should be a good book.
I'm not in Madison for WisCon this year, alas, but a bunch of early WisConites called Wednesday and passed the phone around to say hello, and that was very nice. So, I don't think I'll be attending Bittercon this weekend, either. Instead, I'll keep working on my novel and give Hollywood my money in exchange for viewing their blockbusters, and hopefully watch the Suns beat the Mavericks. You WisConites have a grand time. I'll miss ya!

And finally, love and congrats to my good friend Zilla and his wife Laura on the birth of their second kidling, Elliot Alexander!!! Rock on, little dude!

Did you ask about excessive force on the part of angry greenbelts? And why didn't she tell you herself? Maybe you shouldn't--by the rules of the school--have gone for the headshots, but she's still not coming out of this looking any better.
Not sure if you're comfortable with this, but when you apologize you could come right out and ask her why she was using so much force.
Anyway, hang in there, and get lots done on the novel. I've finished the semester, but I don't get *my* life back until after Baycon.

I think I'm more inclined just to learn how to deal with her from a martial arts standpoint instead of a personal stand point. If she comes at me hard again, I'll use it as an opportunity to improve my defense. And I can't tap her head, but I can try to get a ridge hand or two in there, real close.
Congrats on finishing your semester! Woo!

right ... tapping head is rude.
how about simply bashing her on the head and saying something like "hey, my ass hurts!"
