I do think the Fitzwilliam should be a little more careful about the placement of priceless antiques, if a person falling down the stairs means 3 are shattered. I mean, people do fall down stairs sometimes. Most museums I've been to keep such things in nice big plexiglass boxes for this reason.

ita, just a note - if you attend a yoga class they can't make you do any of it, can they? I mean, you could go and just not do anything you didn't feel up to. Unless LA gyms have some strange coercion thing I'm not aware of.

I'm with shrift. Boy, howdy.

Any Buffista cooks ever used this? I just read a complimentary review of it in the Cool Tools blog. I hate garlic presses, and hate mincing with a knife, so I'm curious.

This just in....the internets is full of crazy people. I need a walk about and food.

Of course they can't! I'm a motherfucking khagora khooma! Uh, I mean, no. Just that it'd be a waste of an outing. I don't even want to do downward dog much right now. Chiro's scheduled for 11:45, which gives me ample time to go out for brekkie (have picked restaurant), look into a massage, and just generally move slowly and get my body back into gear.

Hell, I want to train tonight, get as much in before the nerve block wears off. And I'd actually like to like to go into work tomorrow.

Ah. Now I'm off on flights of dreamy day dreaming of trips to the sculpture hall...and the beautiful atrium with the string quartet at noon...and the sweet cafe...and the largest Rodin exhibit outside Philadelphia. Sigh. Thanks Spidra!

Heh. I haven't been there since then. And I haven't been to Europe since 1993. C'monnnnnnn lottery win!

I finally caught up enough to say: Way to kick ass, ita!!!

Hee. Thanks.

13 things that make scientists mad.

They couldn't find anything better to blow their grant money on than this? Scientists Find Gene That Controls Type of Earwax in People

But why isn't this one on the front page? A large-scale government-financed study has concluded that when it comes to math, students in regular public schools do as well as or significantly better than comparable students in private schools.

Heh. Sciency x-post.

Oh, ita -- this also made me think of you: one of my co-workers' daughters recently got her brown/black belt in karate. She's 11. When my co-worker said "I don't know what's left after black," I said "You know there are a LOT of other martial arts to master...."
