Breakin' (a sweat)

I'm sick.

My tummy feels like I have baking powder in it and then I drank a cup of vinegar.  I'm all hot and verschwitzt.  I'm overwhelmingly tired.  

To top it off, B is traveling right now, so I have no one to fuss over me and make me tea.  I just made myself a bowl of cereal (the first thing I've eaten today) and that was a bad idea.  Milk, apparently, doesn't go well with baking powder and vinegar. (Something else that doesn't go well--baby kicking all over your stomach and ribs when you're sick..ugh).

I woke up during the night last night and instantly my first thought (besides my stomach hurts) was I wonder why break-dancing never made a comeback.  Don't you love those 3 am wondrous thoughts?

Seriously though, why didn't it?  

My second grade class was big into break-dancing.  Well, as best as a group of 7-8 year old white kids in a small Northern California town can be.  Our class was "known" for being the break dancing class.  We were presented by the principal with a break-dancing mat (thick, glossy cardboard that looked like bricks) and our teacher, Ms. Simone (the Ms. part being a bit of an eye-raiser in 1984) even let us pick out "Breakin'" as our Friday movie one week.  

The whole 80's thing came roaring back with a vengence a few years ago--egged on by hipsters, Urban Outfitters and MySpace--and it seemed nothing was safe.  But no one really rallied around break-dancing. Maybe it's too urban? Too physical?  Doesn't involve texting or other technology?

Sigh. Kids these days! (shaking fist)

I'm sure though there's a Wii Break-dancing game though.

(Just checked.  There is.)
