I am totally going to try bakasana with blocks, kat! Thank you!!

My big quad muscles, which get bigger when I'm riding a ton in the spring, definitely get in the way of my flexibility.

break it down into its smallest components and then practice the components at very very VERY slow speed and then put them together and eventually get back to normal speed

Actually some of the best yoga classes I've had have been where the teacher does exactly this for common poses.

Thanks a lot, poopyhead who scraped my rental car while I'm on work travel.

I don't think it will be a big problem, but still.

BOO POOPYHEADED SCRAPER

Hey, are we talking about the show Revenge anywhere? I just watched the last episode, and man is that some messed up shit. LOVE IT

Yay Spain! I loved my half a day in Barcelona.

See, I have a problem doing yoga when the instructor says stuff like "broaden your collarbone." Seriously, I really have a yoga DVD where the instructor says that. And for years I've done that routine and gotten to that point and thought, "What the actual FUCK? Do you eventually achieve some state of Yogic Enlightenedness wherein you can make your BONES GROW?" Because otherwise, the collarbones can't actually broaden. They physically goddamn can't. Not the BONES.

God, seriously! I've had several instructors tell me to breathe through my eyeballs, which definitely kills any zen I might be maintaining.

I'm pretty flexible, when the fat isn't getting in the way. My problem is usually around balance.

I must have hidden all the right people on Facebook, or it know me well, because the only political comments on my feed were a campaign poster featuring Bruce Campbell and George Takei for 2012 and a joke about Joe Biden looking sleepy.

I used to think I was clumsy until I took a very traditional karate class where we practiced the simplest moves a couple hundred times in a row. It turns out that I'm a slow kinetic learner. I need to give up on consciously processing the commands and learn them by moving in the pattern enough times that the non-verbal part of my mind picks it up.

Lee, I think Revenge has been discussed in Boxed Set (and I love it too ... it's gonna get messy).

In Boxed Set?? I would never have looked for it there. I think it would only go here, in whitefont. Like Grey's and other nighttime soaps. And I am also loving it, but don't have anything intelligent to say, except: REVEEENNNNNGGGGEEE!!!!

New episode tonight, right?

I haven't seen Revenge in Boxed Set. Does it have any science fictional or supernatural elements?
