Special favors come in 31 flavors
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
When I hit “Publish” on this one, I will have met my goal of 31 posts in 31 days. I’m very proud of myself. And truly awed and inspired by those of you who have been doing this for many years.
Thank you to those who have sent good vibes and good feedback. I’m so grateful [...] -
Does this look infected to you?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
While looking for a 5 minute song to hoop-and-heat by today (It’s freezing again here in DC!), I scrolled past a number of faves from a group I was introduced to last summer.
One of my favorite moments from Burning Man 2009 was arriving at the Opulent Temple to the spectacular madness of Infected Mushroom. (Warning [...] -
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
I’ve been working on squeezing extra bits of physical activity into my days to combat my disease. If you’re trying to do the same, here’s an idea:
It takes about 5 minutes to boil water for a cup of tea at my house these days in the depths of winter when the water comes from the tap [...] -
Have you kissed your IT Department lately?
Monday, January 25th, 2010
No matter where you work, live or love, the job of the ITG (IT Guy or Gal) is usually a pretty thankless job.
When you’re a small, start-up “homepreneur”, intentionally or not, if you’re lucky enough not to be wearing that hat yourself, the ITG is probably your husband, wife, partner or roommate. If that’s the [...] -
Put my corpse in a heart shaped box
Sunday, January 24th, 2010
“I’m dead.”
That’s what we who are prone to exaggerate say when we’re really tired.
That’s what we who ignored our fairy-godmother’s warnings about dancing after midnight, not once, but twice on a weekend, say on Sundays.
I’m dead.
Something that I’ve always found to be a little ironic about yoga is that one of the best ways to [...] -
It’s 2 am, do you know where your mother is?
Monday, January 18th, 2010
Maybe she’s dancing her ass off at Jimmy Valentine’s Lonely Hearts Club.
“Spinning” class takes on a whole new meaning with Stranger than Paradise. It was a pleasure to watch this duo interact on the decks.
I’m not a big fan of myspace sites. They’re so ugly and badly designed, but DJs seem to like them.
DJs Navbox and Rosario [...] -
Hip, Hoop, Hurray!
Sunday, January 10th, 2010
I just got back from my first Hoop Dance Class!
So much fun, even I might stick with it. I’ve wanted to learn for several years. It’s been my “intention” to do so, but 2010 is the year!
I listen to a lot of electronica music and started seeing hoop dance performers at shows. Since that first [...] -
DownLoad-asana: Yoga Relax for iPhone
Saturday, January 9th, 2010
I’m writing my first post from my iPhone, so it seems appropriate to post something about this iPhone app that I just downloaded
.
The feature list sounds very cool. I was particularly excited about being able to set up your own session from 1-36 minutes, and especially enjoying thinking about 1-5 minute sessions because, um, I’m lazy [...] -
My Distraction Free Writing Pro…crastination
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
Before yesterday had turned more toward vicious than toward yoga, I had intended yesterday’s post to be an exercise in brevity and short commentary on another how-to piece I’d come across after discovering Rob Knowlton’s Simple Code for Posting on the Web.
I was just going to repost MDFWP and shut the hell up, but I [...]
