P is for...
I've been waffling on whether I wanted to start a new journal somewhere or write privately in this one or what. I think I'm going to try to write this entry, post it, and see how I feel about it ( Read more... ) -
Placeholder
I am still alive but not really journaling at all anymore...dunno why exactly, I kind of loss the flavor for it this semester. Things have been busy, and I'm really focused on audition prep and getting through this semester, and I guess with all the assignments and busywork, all I want to fill my free time with is time spent with my husband/animals ( Read more... ) -
LJ updateyness
I have been writing, just not posting here--which wasn't a deliberate choice, my writing has just been rushed and sporadic enough that I haven't taken the time to re-post. Eventually I'll get around to it, there's probably half a dozen entries I need to get up here ( Read more... ) -
Quick thought
Something that was never really imparted on me when I was younger was a sense of bodily autonomy. I didn't know that I had the right to say "No." I didn't feel connected to my physical form. I didn't feel comfortable in it, I didn't like it, I didn't know how to deal with it ( Read more... ) -
Time starts now
I'm working on 100 miles for this week. So far I'm at 56, all biking. I've been focusing on cycling to make sure my hip gets a full recovery from whatever I did to it earlier this year (overtraining, stressed the hell out of my hip flexor)--but I'm still able to run, so I'd like to get out there at least once this week. I know biking is doing ( Read more... ) -
Freckles
Lately, most of my thoughts always find their way back to running or biking. I had a muscle spasm last night around my left shoulder blade, and the first thing I did when I woke up this morning was go for a long walk to loosen it, so I could bike again in the evening. And I did. I think I'm solar powered; I'm addicted to being outside ( Read more... ) -
State of affairs = two thumbs up
Yesterday:
We drove to the small, artsy town that huddles at the base of the mountains, right on the outskirt of our city. We had lunch at our newly discovered organic/vegetarian and vegan friendly cafe. The owner recognized us and said "My favorite happy couple!!" (after only meeting us once before, it was cute.) Later she said, "I don't mean to ( Read more... ) -
Choke
When I was younger, it was generally imparted on me that I was somehow broken and needed to strive to be "normal." To fit in. So I worked hard to find stability in myself and my life, and got to a place of profound health and well-being (better than even THEY imagined)...and discovered that a good majority of the people around me, including those ( Read more... ) -
Catching up--lots of Project 365 photos
Wow, I got really behind on posting these over here. I guess I've made it almost halfway through the year now...? And I'm pretty pleased with how the project has been going so far. There's definitely been some half-assed or less successful pictures, but mostly I feel stronger as a photographer and have a clearer sense of my own style.

Piano concert piece (video)
Finally got around to recording this--had been holding out for access to a real piano, but this should work for now:
