too much yoga

welcome to my every-four-to-six-weeks reminder of what "too much yoga" feels like.

1. I've obviously not been keeping up on my glucosamine pills; my right knee is very wobbly and I'm all lopsided again. :(

2. I'm currently worse at shoulder-stands than I've been in my life. I've lost some of the strength in my upper body due to disuse, but I've still got the bulk which just gets in the way.

I'm gonna be sore. And I'm *starving*....

(no subject)

even though it's been nine years since you could count my ribs without poking and I'm not really ready to cut my hair

I wonder how many people I could offend without even having to get into character

if I dressed up as hothead paisan for halloween this year?

seeking minor feats of manual dexterity

At four-ish on Saturday, September 18 and two-ish on Sunday, September 19, I will be hosting afternoon envelope-stuffing parties in order to prepare 150 commitment ceremony invitations for mailing. If you have any (not necessarily all) of the following skills & the time to come help, I'd be delighted to see you:

• legible penmanship
• counting from 1 to 150
• proofreading
• recognizing some basic features of mailing addresses such as city and state
• putting small pieces of paper into appropriately-sized envelopes

...and if you know anybody else who fits these criteria who'd like to come over and be fed non-smudgy snacks in return for an afternoon of boring labor with interesting people, please bring them, too.

date night

date night dinner: figs with carmelized grapefruit. humbolt fog blue cheese. irish cheddar. hard parmesean. macadamia nuts toasted with white wine, black pepper, onion powder, and coriander. 'fremont sourdough' bread. little slices of baked tofu. Cold water, no ice.(photographs probably forthcoming eventually; the figs released pink juice into the syrup and were quite yummy-looking.)

date night outfit: ankle-length crepe skirt, slit to above-the-knee on both sides to show knee-high riding boots. No underpants. Tight slinky black tee. Ribbed black sweater with faux-fur collar and cuffs. Black-and-silver mesh scarf wrapped around my waist and knotted at the base of my spine, the ends brushing the floor. Delicate two-strand coated-wire collar with small spikes. Crystal heart earring in right ear; silver hoop in left ear. Angular silver bangle, shimmery purple ring, silver ring inset with red stones. No makeup. Hair twisted up on sides & top, tumbling free down the back. (no photographs forthcoming, as far as I know.)

date night activities: pack bag for tomorrow, watch buffy, go to bed early. Shenanigans may or may not occur.
