The Art of Movement

I watched this video on youtube, and it really inspired me.



It looks like i've got some new projects to work on!

The Singing Man

I was at the coffee shop earlier today when the guy sitting next to me broke out into song for about 15 seconds. It caused me to almost jump out of my seat and wet myself (unexpected events seem to have that effect on me). Sitting next to this singing stranger made me feel as if I was partakeing in a Rogers and Hammerstein production, and that I should have gotten up and danced... Or something to that effect... My "dancing" is much like Elaine from the show Seinfeld.... When I mentioned this to a friend, she wondered if it was something like Improve Everywhere. I Googled it and it is a group of people based in New York that will randomly preform improv in public areas. You Tube it! It's great!

I thought this was humorous.... It reminds me what it felt like earlier while waiting for the bus outside in sub zero temperatures.

Yesturday I broke out the cross country skis for the first time this season, and headed out to Elm Creek with some friends. I was surprised at how good I felt.... Very little huffing and puffing involved. It was a bit windy in some areas, but overall a great day to be outside skiing. Afterwards, we headed into the chalet for some jam filled scones that I had made that morning. To my surprise, they were still warm even while sitting in my 10 degree car!

To celebrate how great I felt after skiing for the first time in months, I decided to take Charlie out for a run.... I don't know what I was thinking. This morning I woke up and found out that yes, i am infact out of shape. My hipflexors were screaming! I guess I shouldn't have been so ambicious after all.

I am happy to say that I am writing this on my laptop! Yippee! After weeks of not having it around, I realized how much I use this thing. It is well worth investing in a 3 year warranty if i do say so myself. Basically, I got a whole new computer for free. They replaced my screen, battery, keyboard, and mother board. It couldn't have come at a worse time.... Finals are here, and that means my stress level is at sky high levels.
