I bet this vague ookiness in my stomach is an announcement of hunger too long ignored. Food. Must get food.
(*returns, with food*)
I did not get a box of *my* books in the mail yesterday, but I did get a copy of
jimhines's GOBLIN QUEST, about Jig the reluctant goblin adventurer, which I am greatly looking forward to reading. :)irishkate and I went to ballet class last night. I'm enjoying the class, though I'm a little bemused by it. It's not *nearly* as hard as I expect it to be. I mean, I'm tubby and badly out of shape, but I'm accustomed to the first days of dance classes leaving me crippled, and subsequent weeks leaving me sore. I haven't even gotten sore, much less crippled. OTOH, yesterday people came out of class gasping over how much their feet hurt from the releves and from the leaps, but mine didn't hurt at all, so apparently YMMV. The teacher puts too much emphasis on pretty arms and too little emphasis on learning to do movements on both sides of the body IMESHO, and I think if she's going to have us work on doing splits, which is fine, that she should either give us barre work to stretch the hamstrings or do the floorwork for the splits at the end of class when everyone's genuinely warmed up, because we're not getting enough warmup for the muscles to have any fluidity before she puts us on the floor. I also wish it was 90 minutes long, instead of 60....I should teach my own damned dance class, eh? :)
But I am enjoying it, and between it and two yoga classes, maybe I'll regain some of my former flexibility. I'm supposed to go to a yoga class this afternoon to get the €5 that the teacher didn't have in change for me last week, but I don't quite know if I will, since I'm meeting
irishkate for coffee and a walk around 3, and we seem to be very good at spending long periods of time just hanging out chatting. :)And now, a poll!
