How about something more local and smaller

That's a good idea.

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

Man, I was barely here yesterday. My internal natter pressure is getting high!

Weekly Tai Chi update: Elbow Strike -> Back Fist -> Palm Strike -> Kidney Punch -> Roll Back -> Punch Down -> Double Warrior (I'm not sure about the names of those last two, I may have garbled them). Between how far we are in the form and the repeated bits in what follows I am starting to feel like I know more of it than I don't know.

Before class I went out to the Iron Horse Trail which is helpfully marked in quarter-mile increments so I could calibrate my stride-length. Your move, Fitbit.

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

I think I know what section you are in -t, but our teacher uses less martial terms so it's hard to say for sure. Also, I feel sort of lost in second set. I know it well enough to follow someone but I don't really know the sections in the right order. We just went through Monkey, which I'd learned before, but not with any sense of where it fit in the whole order.

The combat applications actually help me to remember the postures, I think, although my teacher always cautions us not to go and try them out as we might accidentally do it right and really hurt someone. We're just a little past Monkey. There's Cloud Hands, some kicking to the left and then this punching to the right part where we are.

I realized a few days ago that I had not been practicing the Monkey Qi Gong and I forgot a whole section. Good thing we went through it at practice on Saturday, I think I got it back. I will have to miss this Saturday, though, it conflicts with a 5K.

hip deep in pie

When you folk in the US buy dresses on eShakti, how much is the shipping and duty for you? It pretty much doubles the price of a dress for me, so I rarely buy from there.

Also, I think I need entirely custom sizing for their dresses to fit my boobs. But I am always so tempted.

I have still not bought anything from eShakti, sorry.

Oh, hey, my little USB hub is also a speaker. I had no idea.

It feels like there should be a funny story behind this comment.

Just me not knowing where that sound was coming from. I would have to embroider quite a bit to make it a worthwhile story.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just realized that I have worked with someone who has worked with Lin Manuel Miranda (the costume designer for Bring It On). Is that two degrees?
