I'm doing my first aerial piece in a show tonight! First! Ever! Jesus!

Here's a video I shot of one of the thirteen run-throughs I've knocked out over the past two days. Note the extra drunky camera action at the very end!

It's a damp, warm, drizzly day in Olympia and I'm taking the day off from my life (no training, work, or sooper special projects lined up for today) to spend some quality time on my porch to watch the rain come down. I have tea ( Read more... )

A real update on the Life of Mish is forthcoming, containing all my latest adventures (I have spent 4 out of 7 days of every week for the past 2 months doing RIDICULOUS THINGS and there is even some picture documentation), but right now I need to direct everyone's attention to a conversation I recently had. This is primarily for everyone I spent ( Read more... )

Contrary to popular (my) belief, the cure for working too damn much at school is not spending all my free time on Adventures. I have these four day weekends this quarter and they are so very dangerous because in four days, with a car, I can get up to a fuck of a lot.

I should be outside practicing my stilt walking for a show on Saturday, or working on a new screen in the studio, but my nose threatens mutiny whenever I try to get up. (Actually, since writing that, I felt guilty about doing ( Read more... )

1. My arms are no longer too sore to move above my head! Three days out of the air recovering from Saturday's class sucked, but I can move my arms now2. I did not push myself too hard acrobatically tonight, and as I result I will be gently allowing myself back into the air tomorrow before training. My muscles are determined to pound the value of ( Read more... )

Ohhhh, being back up on the silks and trapeze again tonight felt so GOOD. Spending a month on vacation just stretching and doing furtive contortion when no one was around to get grossed out had left me more than a little air-starved. Seeing all my friends + the Aerialistas perform at the Broho aerial show the other night didn't help much either ( Read more... )
