Week 6! Bad Blogger..

Bad Blogger, no posting!!!!

sorry, i have no good excuse.  

i STILL haven't set up my laptop, and this machine is slow, but that's no excuse.  I don't know what to tell you.  

What I can tell you is that I've recovered from 9 days of Yoga teacher training.  Of course, I have a lot more to go, but at least we got Primary Series out of the way.  If you don't know what that is, look it up.  Its really crazy intense yoga, and it hurts!!!  But I had a good time!  That was Saturday the 21st through Sunday the 28th.  And I don't even remember what I did during the evenings, but I don't think it was much beyond watching the usual TV shows and chilling.  

Actually, the Friday was pretty damn funny.  Friday was the Practical exam.   We had to memorize Primary Series, which is about 90 minutes long.  We also had to memorize all the Sanskrit names of all the poses.  I'd say I memorized about 1/3 of it all, but oh well.

Friday, we all partnered up, and from 9 to 1030, one person taught, and the other person practiced.  The teacher had to cue all the poses, breath, and adjust the practicer too.  A surprising lot of work.  Then there was a break, and then we switched.  I went second.  It wasn't as bad as i thought, but I forgot a lot and just had my partner continue.  I knew the adjustments well.  

Anyways, we got out early, and I was thrilled to be done, and starving.  So, I headed to the old office where my parking pass was still working, parked the car, and headed down to Lucky's Lounge for lunch.  I had a big nasty Burger, which was great, and 2 beers.  Strong fancy beers.  I hadn't had breakfast either, so I was feeling a little tipsy.  Visited my friends at the office for a bit, and then got back to the car.  it was 3pm.  I had 2 hours till I picked up the BBB.  So, what did I end up doing?  Passing out in the car.  Yes, the unemployed was studying what it would be like to live in the car!  I slept for almost 2 hours in the drivers seat, reclined back, with the ipod playing.  It was LOVELY!   The girl at El Starbucko's called me a brat, cuz i needed caffeine, and I told her i just woke up from a nap!  I deserved it.

Anyways, this week has been pretty calm.  Been doing laundry and trying to clean, and rest up, and apply to a few jobs I found.  We'll see.  Watched the usual TV shows.  Heroes still disappoints, but  I still love it and watch it.  Lost was fantastic this week, I must say.  Love that show.  Had dinner at Myers and Chang on Tuesday with one of our Yoga teacher buddies.  That was nice.  Wednesday Burnt Fur practice was good.  Last night had dinner at Zon's in JP with my brother in law.  Monday it snowed a lot, yucky.  BBB stayed home.  Stayed home today too, cuz she had a doctor's appt.  Foot is getting better, but its slow going.  Ooh, we also cooked a Rutabaga puree with Salsa Verde, and Braised Celeraic Root with Chickpeas and Saffron.  Yummy.

THE WATCHMEN CAME OUT TODAY.  I WANTED TO GO SEE IT, BUT CANNOT DEAL WITH OPENING DAY MOVIE NERDS.  SOOOOOOOON!

So, I have a bunch of pics I should post, and better stuff to write, but tonight it just ain't happening.  

All I can share is this.  The Yoga studio is upstairs from JJ Foley's, an old Boston bar.  I walked around a lot on breaks to stretch and get food, and noticed, on 2 separate days, on exactly the same spot on the sidewalk next to the bar/in the alley, the following items:

that is all
