I'm more sore than I anticipated. I guess I'm out of shape! My inner thighs scream at me every time I go to sit down. I guess it was all the low stance training. I did the Rachel Brice DVD again (with snowy_kathryn, this time), and I was especially stiff for the downward dog and standing fold stuff. Oof.

And here's what my right arm looked like last night. Quite the goose egg, hmm? It protruded a good half inch or so. After I iced it, the swelling mostly disappeared. There's just a little bit of lump and a whole lot of bruise, now. Tomorrow it will be in its prime. I'll be wearing a pair of black fishnet gauntlets to hide my kung fu decorations.

It could have been worse. One of the guys testing for his sash has the perfect imprint of the bottom of a shoe on his arm.

[Ouch]

And now for a few links before I go to work....

The Official Female Fart Forum: NSFW. Contains such gems as, "As soon as I walked over near the chair I smelled a mixture between perfume and farts... the air hovering over the chair was definitely funky. I leaned down and smelled the seat where the super hot girls amazing ass sat for at least 5 minutes straight... It smelled like pure girl farts... a strong fart essence was present in the felt padded seat cushion, I started buggin out. I kept smelling the cushion for as long as the smell's odor retained it's embodiment. I was in heaven with the sexy fumes that only lasted a couple of minutes. I buried my face into the seat cushion smelling this HOT girls candy farts. I was so happy that day."

Coloring Book: NSFW, but lots of fun.

The Bulge: NSFW. Falsies for men.

Strange Swimming Kids: Bizarre statuary at a children's hospital. "One child is frozen in the middle of undressing, one is halfway out of the pool/fountain, while others frolic near the spigots of water (that run during the summer). What makes this creepy is that during winter there’s no water running, and its rather unnerving to see a child getting undressed when there’s snow on the ground. Furthermore, parts of the children are painted silver, to mimic the effect of being wet, I presume. Unfortunately this gives them a robotic look, as if the T-1000 from the terminator movies gave birth to children who couldn’t fully form human shapes."

Zimbabwe traditional healer burnt by goblins: Those pesky goblins will get you every time.

After the fall: "'Ex-gay' poster boy John Paulk’s visit to a gay bar is just one more in a long series of blows to the “conversion” movement’s credibility" (thanks, balthcat).

Day of the frozen dead: "When the residents of a small town in Colorado found a body entombed in dry ice in a shed, they were so horrified they decided to hold a festival in his name" (thanks, Benoit).
