I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Weasels getting fucked and deadlines getting blown, racy today!

We're actually all over the place, Burrell, but everyone does whatever the lesson of the week is regardless of what else they know. There were people who just started last night, quite a few, so after a few weeks they will know the second set well and be pretty much guessing their way through the first (which is how I am with the Qi Gong). But if they keep coming the lessons will eventually circle around and we'll do the first part again. The people who have been doing it for years can focus on subtleties and us newbies can just try to learn what comes next, it seems to work.

But yes, second set, actual fist. Now I am curious what presenting the peapod is!

Just practiced with my co-worker and when we got to Fist Under Elbow I definitely had something wrong, but then we just went through the first set together again and that went really well. So my day is off to a pretty good start!

And I had forgotten we are getting lunch today with our teambuilding Pictionary game, so I have that to look forward to. EVerything's coming up -t. No weasels.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

thanks, Burrell!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Presenting Pea Pod is the move where you have both arms in front of you with the right arm extended further than the left, both elbows bent, hands open flat, and the right leg extended a little bit in front of the left. It looks like a defensive posture, but you are also preparing to strike. Why that's named after a pea pod, I have no idea.

And, hey, all my tinkering with the elliptical machine (or just time, I don't know) has worked, I can use it! Red-letter day.

Coding and Sleeping

EVerything's coming up -t.

I wish I knew what command you were an option for. I'll bet it's something badass like rsync.

Oh, I think we call that Lift Hands. Sometimes the names are not evocative.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This meeting is with Ike Perlmutter?

I don't know! Because (as of now) I'm not doing the pitch.

For all I know it's head of marketing. But they did say CEO, so...

In any event there's a pretty good chance they'll buy our thing.

Me too, Gud. Me too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ugh slept through two alarms and woke up at 9:30 this morning. (Thanks Obama Night-time Theraflu!)

Luckily(?) the manuscript containing the next round of art I needed to do hasn't been released yet. On the morning of the third of three days we were given to get these lessons done. So no harm done by my Rip van Winkle act, and maybe the extra rest will carry me through this evening.

Our wings are not tired

Heh. Not an actual Marvel person.

Neither is our weaselfucker, he works for a company that has licensed their IP. We're working on an attraction based on their current big deal movie franchises.
