I want to find ita a boyfriend. Too bad the only cute single geek I know in LA is like the opposite of physically lethal.

HI HEC!

Are you back to yoga yet?

Yes! I start teaching next week.

Are your hips filled with sexy new cartilage?

Still hard to tell. I think I won't know for a year if the surgery totally "took."

Has the Legasus been retired?

Yes! I don't miss him, unsurprisingly.

Rio, please come here and be my yoga teacher. I am hoping to restart classes ASAP but fear new classes and teachers. WAH.

I am so happy there is a new RW/RR challenge on, it is the perfect way to waste my half day.

That and cooking up some chicken for this week's food. yummy food smells in my house.

Moderation was moderately exercised. The headaches are good for something, because they drove me out of the store before I could do too much damage.

Sadly the B&N nearest me is closing down in a couple weeks. There were people wandering all over it muttering "the 14th?" both to each other, staff, and people on their cell phones. Got free with a physical training book, graphic novel, stretching and Gray's (not Grey's, regrettably) flash cards. Medicated my self-pity at my lame constitution with a Coffee Bean chai latte and replaced my Bodum French press with one both smaller and unbroken.

Question--how do folks pronounce Bodum? I'd being going Boh-dumb, but the sales guy was all short o.

Allyson, you know you're not exactly looking out for your own happiness. So watch out.

Very cool to hear you're back to teaching, Rio.

Rio, please come here and be my yoga teacher.

OK!

What, like someone just told a bad joke? IOW, I pronouce like you do.

YAY!

Without a second d in the middle, long o seems the way to go.

Dangit, had I known... I have two. And I only use one if there are more than one coffee drinkers in house, which happens...infrequently.

My parents called last night so I got to talk to them. Turns out, my dad is flying in for a meeting towards the end of the week, so it looks like I'll have a houseguest at least one night, depending on how the meetings go. I don't really think he knows the plan beyond "I get in at 4:45." Ooookay, dad....

Mom's moving from the hurt stage to the bitterly sarcastic stage. She got the hysterical giggles listening to Auld Lang Syne or however that's spelled. Over the forgetting part.

Managed to get out to a movie today. It was PACKED. Only theater showing this film in the area, New Year's day and it being the third day of showing, etc. But sheesh. There was a pretentious artsy-fartsy couple sitting behind me that I finally told to shut the hell up. The little old lady next to me did a silent applauding motion and shook my hand. Funny.

what movie?

Brokeback Mountain. Didn't level me the way it has some people, but it was good enough. I kept coming out of the film not due to assholes sitting behind me, but I am so out of the movie habit that I still can't say if my mind wanders because I suck at watching movies or something in the movie sucks.
