congratulations, there is now a level zero

I am now a yellow belt in Kung Fu! I'm super excited, because yellow is when the first weapon is introduced - staff. Staff is my favorite weapon of all time. I also finally get to stop wearing my dingy, not-quite-white-anymore almost-year-old white belt.

And if anyone's wondering, Chinese Shaolin Center's belt system is this: white, yellow, blue, green, 3rd brown, 2nd brown, 1st brown, and 1st through 8th black.

I am going to celebrate by watching Ironman HD DVD on X's giant screen TV.

Today is a good day.
