Sticks and stones will- OMG KITTY!
Dec. 4th, 2008 01:49 amEDIT: LOL TAG FAIL.
Huh, The Matches just overtook Brand New on my last.fm... ha, all I ever do with that thing is watch the stats race. It's a pity it counts Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer separately or that would stack much higher.
Meanwhile, it's two am again and I am. Uh. Yeah, making lolcats. Honestly it's that or clean my room at this point.
I believe I have not mentioned lately how awesome my eskrima class is, but god, is it awesome. I had a Mum Special wake-up call this morning which involved tea and screaming, and then I had to babysit for an indefinite period of time while she did meditation. So I had a lot of tension to work out, and boy did I. That thwack of wood upon wood is a beautiful sound. Most martial arts classes have that contact problem where you technically don't actually want to hurt anyone, so you can't hit with any force, but when the other person is blocking you with a stick, you can swing as hard as you like! Benefits to stress relief include: release from thinking for an hour and a half where the teacher is in charge, concrete skill to focus on, patterns, general exercise endorphins, and something solid to hold on to.
But oww my wrists.
Have also been reading Amanda Palmer's blog and ImprovEverywhere's past mission reports, because they are both WONDERFUL.
