Feeling gay

I finally got off my tuchus and cooked last night. It was more Spiced Chicken Stew, and I love that stuff. It's the perfect way to burn through a variety of veggies. And there's still tons of the stuff for me to eat over the next few days. I heart soup and stew!

Speaking of, I am also trying out Soupcycle next week, to see if it's both tasty and cost-effective enough for me to do regularly. I like that they use whole and organic foods in their soup, and holy hell, I am having mad soup joneses these days. And supporting local, bike-powered businesses? Hells yeah. If anyone else wants in on this, let me know; we can totally do a group order or something.

Oh yeah, and I got up early yesterday to go to Acro Strength class at DoJump with Amy! I still have a massive mental block about handstands, and I don't have a very strong grip, so all the stuff that involved being upside-down while supported only by my weak hands and spindly little arms? Well, I basically went back and forth between being irritated at how much I sucked at it, and freaked out that my arms would give out and I'd drop myself on my head.

But, Amy is one of the most positive and supportive people in the entire freakin' universe. So that helped. :) And the rest of it was good training.

Dancing tonight at Goodfoot is a definite possibility. My shoulders are sore as hell from yesterday's class, and wushu might beat the hell out my legs this evening (as it often does), but if not, I'll be shakin' my booty!

Saturday is open, but I will probably spend at least part of that building a DIY beauty dish. (I got all of the components last night) Sunday is a senior portrait and a steampunk shoot, both of which I'm looking forward to.

Overall? Good vibes. Well, except for the fact that all I *really* want to do right now is sleep, but I'll get over that eventually. ;)

Oh, and for those who didn't see this on Twitter last night: "Not sure why, exactly, but I'm a little bit gay for Anna Torv. A LITTLE. XD"

That fact bears mentioning, because I am by far the straightest girl I've ever known. (with the possible exception of [livejournal.com profile] pyrobaby who is probably not reading this) I don't begrudge anyone else their gayness, but eh, tits are just not my thing. So, even a little gay is a big deal, coming from me. ;) Seriously, holy damn. I might actually make out with Anna Torv, if the opportunity were to ever present itself.

BTW, if you're not already, you should be watching Fringe. It is the radness.

Doing handstands against a wall or pole is really helpful for me. We do them at my pole class and I've slowly worked myself up from stands on my forearms with my elbows bent to full on handstands. Having an object behind you is helpful.

Yeah, they had me doing them against the wall, and then the teacher spotted me for one free-standing one. It's still freaky though ;_; I think my brain just hasn't figured out how to do it yet.

It's totally not intuitive. Heads belong on top!

Derr! You're right! I even had it on my calendar, so I would've remembered when Google reminded me tomorrow morning.

That also means that I am SO baking something tomorrow afternoon. Nomnomnom.

Yay! :)

BTW, what the heck is a DIY beauty dish?

This is a beauty dish (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/482485-REG/Hensel_8603_White_Beauty_Dish_.html)! I found an online do-it-yourself guide to building one for like $10, rather than paying $165. :D I heart light modifiers.

Dancing is good for muscles! It shakes things out and helps them find their right places. I was even told this by a massage therapist, so I am pretty sure it is the truth.

Yeah, I can believe that :) Mostly I just have to see if my knee will hold up to the extra activity... it's definitely doing better than before, but I don't want to overdo it just yet.

I dig it. I am just being the exuberant dancing advocate that I tend to be whenever I need to go dancing.

Whether or not you make it out dancing, I hope you have fun at wushu!

yes

SoupCycle sounds fantastic! I would totally go in with you on orders, but I don't live or work in Souplandistan so you'd have to babysit my soup until I could pick them up.
