Happy birthday, Perkins!
Happy birthday to the Phoenix! I've been hanging around here for a little less than 8 years.
Hey, I went to vote for Kat's project, and it says it's funded!
Hooray!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Woot for Kat's class and books! If we had a Sonic in town, I'd go out and buy a shake to celebrate.

We (and some other people) totally rock!
You people certainly do rock! Thank you so much for all of your voting and for your tolerating my electioneering. I'm going to continue to vote for other projects in my area, but now I can stop FREAKING OUT over the fact that this book which I planned on teaching in November wasn't coming.
Sigh. It was a surprising end to a long week.
ita, is the bearded guy in this video: [link] doing yoga or capoeira? Also, around 2 minutes 35 seconds a guy goes from handstand to updog and back to handstand. It's AMAZING

I DO feel compelled to go do something for sonic. I'm going to write one more grant for books for a US Cellular challenge. I have had four grants funded since June. . . people are amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always hope to, but my top half presents even more an issue now that I'm this size. Dresses are a bitch. But I'll try.
You have jeans, right? Just get a cute top! And by cute, I mean slutty.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Very glad you were able to get the books, Kat. My friends on Friendfeed.com were happy to help and glad to hear the funding was granted.
Today consisted of getting up early (for me), riding my bike to the Metro Rail station, taking 2 trains and one bus to the Sunset 5 station to see the Harry Nilsson doc. The light rail ride was GREAT but the bus really sucked. Got a surly driver and it was crowded.
So I semi-foolishly decided to see if I could walk from Sunset 5 to Sunset/Vermont station. I had seen Amoeba on the way there and figured it was a good time to consign my album with them (I consigned with Amoeba in Berkeley before). It was a very stupid decision to make on behalf of my knees but I guess I can be stubborn that way. The guy at Amoeba was very helpful and there's now a copy of "Songs the Brothers Warner Taught Me" in the Pop Vocals section. I hope I can get people to go to Amoeba and buy it so that I can get them to consign more in the future and maybe even order it for real.
The walk was so LA. Filthy cigarette-butt laden sidewalks, really great faded classic H'wood architecture alongside less classic porn palace liquor store architecture. And then the bizarreness of the Scientology mothership. I just looked it up on Gmaps Pedometer and that walk was about 4.25 mi. So today was GRONK and now CONK.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, he's halfway through a capoeira position...it's quite frustrating. Interruptus indeed. There's some amazing work in that video. I never had the upper body strength for that stuff.
Whooh! Got Thai from a different place from my usual because the normal place was too busy and the duck curry is way hotter than I'm used to. Sweaty nostrils. Glad to share.

Heh. I actually haven't put on but one pair that is too short since winter. Really need to go through all my jeans since I have multiple sizes.
I'll work something out.
Sonic. Mmm, green chile cheeseburgers and cherry limeade. How I miss them. I've heard there is a new MD Sonic, but I'm pretty sure they don't carry hatch chiles like the LC ones do.

Some of the poses he does (like one armed handstand) are so beautiful.
