Holy cow, I can do a series of vinyasas now. And I can basically do half-vinyasas back to back for quite a while.

Good lord, am I getting better? I think I may be! :)

Lots going on, as ever, but little of it interesting enough to bother writing about. I'm still working away on the dissertation, obv. Need to switch my focus and mess with my conference paper soon, since only half of it is written and it will need some serious editing. I also have some annoying paperwork I need to do quite soon. So that's annoying.

I just said to Boy, "Being involved with a classicist means never again having to say 'gosh, I haven't heard a cool story in a while." I thought about it some and then said "Although I suppose at some point you might want to say 'STOP TELLING ME WHAT SOME DEAD DUDE SAID ABOUT DICKS.'"

I started using Wen a couple weeks ago. I'd been curious since catching a late-night infomercial, so I got a sample of the Fig flavour whilst I was in Vegas (they don't have Fig in Sephora in Canada) and gave it a try.

So a guy was close-following Genevieve and me up the escalator at the skytrain and then stopped us--without touching us, thank god--and said to me "I just want to say this before I never see you again. You look like a little piece of heaven ( Read more... )

Doc says that I'll know if the toe is bruised or broken by when it stops hurting: two weeks, bruised, six weeks, broken. She is, if nothing else, practical ( Read more... )

Back from Vegas. For souvenirs I brought a Las Vegas Starbucks mug (there's a sort I particularly like and I like having multiple cities of it), a pulled muscle in my neck, and a broken toe ( Read more... )

In honour of her natal festivities, elisem is having a shiny sale!

You should go check it out--she's got some really nice stuff up right now. Also, I own a pair of the cloisonné shell earrings and I LOVE them.

(And if anyone wanted to buy me a really expensive birthday present, the necklace-crown "Modern Enchantments" is pretty cool. ;)
