Opposite Side something-something drop

Long time no update on this, but I'm still sporadically attending the aerial fabrics class.  This quarter the time is somewhat less convenient than before, 8 pm on Sunday nights.  Between family dinners
and not getting the start date right, I ended up missing a few classes but I'm planning on going regularly for the rest of the quarter, plus hitting the gym right before the class means no wait for all the cardio machines.  It's amazing how quickly arm strength will deteriorate because I now have a lot more difficulty climbing than I used to, and since the intermediate class is MUCH smaller than the beginner class I really ought to take advantage of having more time on the silks as much as my forearms may protest the exercise.  I find I'm much more a fan of the static poses and the climbs than the drops because...drops frankly scare the bejeesus out of me and I think I need those bejeesus to get around in life.

However, this week we did learn this fun drop which I already forget the name of (I made a point of asking again at the end of class too), and this one is not that scary for me.  I know I'm plunging straight down on it, but it feels very secure and there's not all this crazy flipping around in different directions, and the landing doesn't hurt like the others.  I have no idea how boys perform and kind of silk maneuvers because let me tell you, those silks get FRESH with you.  They need for safety's sake to get IN places.  I started wearing my bike shorts underneath, because I haven't quite deadened all the nerves on my inner thigh yet.  Makes drops a lot less scary.  Now I just need to work on the dismount, hehehe.

Honey Badger

I couldn't help jumping on the honey badger bandwagon, although I don't think it's an internet meme yet; had to make my own!

If only I could be so cool and unconcerned yet undeniably badass as honey badger! :)

being a stalker! and judgemental!

I can't quite pin down when I started feeling like I never had time to do anything anymore.  I think it must have started sometime in the last year, but I don't know exactly when or why!  Certainly I've gotten more busy at work but I thankfully have a job where I leave all of that AT work - so while I go in a bit earlier these days, it's my evenings that feel like there really is just no time for much besides getting home to eat dinner and then getting on to bed!  (That is slightly a lie because I have dance class in the evenings and I never get to bed as early as I should.  But it's more that I don't feel I have the energy to be doing all that much, like sewing every night or drawing or painting or something, which is what I WANT to be doing, until it comes to be evening time and all I want to do is go lie around and rest.  Bleh.)


I blame some of the mental lethargy on the house hunting process.  Sure, the process of going out and looking at places happens on the weekends, but the brain power evidently has leaked out of my ears because I certainly have very little of it left in my head these days. 

I do have enough brain power to add another Character, this time with a picture.  For some reason I find this fellow to be extremely creepy, although I freely admit I know nothing about him.  I'm sure he's perfectly nice, but I see him around on my commute and every time I can't help but think he looks evil!!! Maybe it is the slightly older-but-I'm-still-a-hipster look, or his glasses, or his hair; some combo of all that makes him look very sinister.  In fact, I think he looks very much like the James Bond villian Le Chiffre!!  What do you think?
