Do you remember when we were super excited to start this blog and share our lives with each other? Yeah, me neither. So I am trying to give this blog a sharp kick in the teeth, much like what this semester is doing to me.
My New Semester Resolution was to branch out and try new things and I find myself spread a bit thin. Like three days a week, Other Rachel and I go to the University Center (UC) and take some fitness classes. I am not cut out for Yoga. Sweet Jesus, I cannot get my leg behind my head and pretend that the jagged gasps of air are really deep cleansing breaths.
I went to the opera yesterday. "The opera" is a loose term. In reality I went to the Purnell (the building where all the theater/drama people hang out) and saw an opera that they put on. A friend of mine is double majoring in Computer Science and Lightning (I never see him), but he got a few free tickets so I went.
The basic plot of this opera is that a boy throws a tantrum after his mother scolds him, so he destroys all the furniture. But HOLY SHIT THE FURNITURE COMES ALIVE AND OH MAN ARE THEY PISSED! So yeah, the furniture attacks the boy and things get crazy and there's a lot of singing. Overall it was really enjoyable...and French.
Despite all of this nonsense going on, I don't really have any anecdotes comparable to Missy's emergency pants story. Nor do I have anything remotely interesting to say. I just miss you guys and I want to hear about your lives and such. So yeah.
Have a song.
That sounds like a fun opera. I tried yoga once, but I couldn't stop giggling. I'm too big *and* too immature to take it seriously, even though I'm still pretty flexible from my gymnastic days a million years ago. I think I'll stick with strength training and cardio so I can play tennis more seriously this summer.
ReplyDeleteHoly balls I love yoga so much, but I am so awful at it.
ReplyDeleteLike I have some solid balance and I am pretty flexible, but I cannot stand on my head and put my knees on my elbow on a regular basis. I mean doing that alone would get you like an A++ would do business with again in gymnastics class.
I have been trying my hardest to think of something interesting to say for the past two weeks, but for the life of me I have been super boring as of late. Maybe I'll write a little tonight...
Ohhh, yoga. I want to love it, but I suck at it too much to genuinely love it. It sounds fun though! I think my school might have something like that, but all I've been able to find this semester is 8am fitness classes in the style of Le Boot Camp. No thank you.
ReplyDeleteAngry furniture bent on revenge and college students singing in French? That opera sounded like it was excellent. That there song you posted, that's also excellent. I like Pulp Fiction, too.
I don't know what to say about my life right now, only that it feels like a fright train of Obligations and Responsibilities has been ramming into me weekly and I can't yet be bothered to give a shit about anything but the fact that my head really hurts.
A later note: nice resuscitation dude. I can't thank you enough. Also, upon coming back to leave this message, I read your title as "A Shark Kick in the Teeth." CLOSE ENOUGH.
