Really wacked.

I can't believe I just watched an actor in an ape suit beat the crap out of a catroon starfish and a cartoon aquatic-suited squirrel in a burlap sac to be deterred only by a sponge reminding him that gorillas don't exist underwater. I was okay with that until the gorilla made eye contact with the camera and then made an escape atop 2 actos in a zebra suit.



Did I eat acid for breakfast?

i want to get a wool cowl for my 11 year old brother for xmas so he can start building his costume for king richard's faire next year....he just go into the ren faire stuff, etc.



anyway....and ideas of where i can order one?? none of the websites i know of have what i'm looking for....

so when i got to the gym this morning to run, there was a yoga class starting. i figured, what the hell?, i ran 3 days this week, maybe i'll try this out and see what's up. so i went in and no sooner did the instructor open her mouth then i realized who she was. it's a long story, but i've walked out on one of her classes before due to her sheer suckiness. anyway, i instantly realized how rude that would be to do twice, so i committed to give it a chance. besides, the other class was something completely different any maybe yoga really is her thing.



i told myself to remain open minded when she turned the earthy crunch hippy talk up to eleven. i even managed to keep a straight face when she began spreading glass, battery powered, LED colorchange "crystals" all over the floor. dont be a douchebag, i told myself, this may be really relaxing if you just get over yourself and go with it....so i went with it and i almost saw myself being able to stand it when poof! the power went out. all of the sudden this semi tolerable situation was minus any lights OTHER than the "crystals" and the ambient sounds of oceans waves or whatever hippy bullshit she had been playing was gone leaving me nothing to focus on but the sound of her not-so-soothing voice.



i quickly became Painfully aware that the instructor had a nasty habit or ending EVERY sentence the same...."take this where you want to...." i.e. "now, extend the leg....take this where you want to..."..."breath in, take this where you want to..."....."close your eyes...take this where you want to...."..."take a drink if you need to....take this where you want to...." after a few minutes, i was ready to show her exactly where to "take this". Arg!



So, long story short, I spent the next 45 minutes becoming increasingly aggravated and using all my "focus power" to stop myself from reaching out and throttling the woman. (Pretty much the polar opposite of the response one is supposed to have to yoga) After a full hour I couldn't take it anymore, and crept out. So 2 hours later, I can't get that hour back, and now it's off to work.



Blarg.

not much to say publically today...

waiting for a phonecall.



i did some x-mas shopping today. took care of the new nieces and new new nephew. kids are easy when you get a cheat sheet from their parents. leave it to me though to have to go to toys r u durring a sale in search of the only items in the whole store that AREN'T on sale. oh well. this x-mas is mostly just about the kids in the family. we got eachother the bed and the family adults have agreed we're not getting anything for eachother either....."adults".....they are adults.....and that's where i'll leave it...

mom came by today. i had intended to ransack-clean the house in preparation...but yeah, getting home around 4am kinda killed my motivation. so instead, i woke up and put an ad on craigs list for a house keeper http://nh.craigslist.org/hss/493453928.html.



Hopfully I can find someone that will turn into my house sitter for the spring when i go away again. If I'm *really* lucky, he/she will take a liking to critters too and I can save some $$ on boarding costs and whatnot.
