shanmonster: (For goodness sakes. I've got the....)

The Advil worked. No migraine for me. Woohoo!

I spent this afternoon getting thoroughly shagged out. After breakfast, I did Tamilee Webb's advanced ab workout from I Want That Body!. I still can't do the video without screaming obscenities. Fuck, it's hard. That's why I want to keep doing it. I want to be able to do the entire workout with ease. That's when I know my abs will be so strong that they could stop bullets.

While I was still sore and throbbing from that workout, I did the isolation drills from Rachel Brice's DVD. I expect a gift certificate from Amazon soon. When it comes in, I'm getting Bellydance for Beginners with Suhaila: Fitness Fusion - 4 Volume Gift Set (Buns, Jazz, Pilates, Yoga). At first, I was thrown off by the beginner part of it, but I've been hearing very good things, particularly about the Pilates video, so I think it would make a good addition to my regimen. Suhaila is very much into isolations and control, and so am I. This looks like a good way to improve.

I'm also interested in Breakdance Step-by-Step and/or Hip Hop Fuzion. Are there any b-boys or b-girls out there who can make me a good recommendation? I'm not particularly interested in spinning on my head. Neither am I looking for a performance video. I'm looking specifically for an instructional/drill DVD which focuses on locks and pops, with maybe a few forays into fluid movements.

And now for a couple of links for your enjoyment:

Japanese A Capella: Most excellent! You'll be sure to recognize these tunes (thanks, Dead Corpse).

Motion Induced Blindness: Yet another nifty optical illusion.

Make Your Own Pope Hat: Why let Ratzinger have all the fun?

Matisyahu: Hasidic, beatboxing, reggae rapper.

Romanian Woman Thief Hid Mobile Phones In Her Vagina: Oddly enough, the owner didn't want it back once it had been retrieved.

Bubba Knows Everyone: And everyone knows him, too (thanks, Dead Corpse).

Heh. You set off my "yellow tabby - awwwwwww, cute!" reaction!

To heck with rolling up a doobie. It's all about rolling up a kitty. How does one smoke a kitty, exactly?

Dude, it's International *Pot* Smoking Day, not Kitty smoking day. But if you insist, you light the tail end and suck on the face. Good luck keeping your eyesight. >;-D

*snortgiggles*

That was the most amusing mental picture I've had all day. Thank you, f00.

Yer quite welcome, eh?

Not to mention your tongue and tonsils. ;-)

Exactly!

No no... Pet Smoking Day.

I have to agree with goth_hobbit.....awwww, cute!!!

And as far as smoking the kitten goes, f00dave, would you need to skin it first? Burning kitten fur just seems like it would smell a little icky......

Date: 2005-04-20 11:56 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] f00dave.livejournal.com
Of course you don't skin it, that's barbaric! Poor freaked out kitty...

And besides, have you *smelled* pot? Some of that shit is The Stank. ;-)

LMAO....You have a point there......

I have the Suhaila bun workout, and it has been very effective as far as strengthening that region is concerned. I haven't tried her other workouts yet, so I would love to hear your reviews once you've tried them!

I'm not too concerned about my butt. I figure it's already in pretty much optimal condition. Kung fu is awesome for the arse! But I'm looking forward to the video out of curiosity's sake.

Hi! I've friended you according to the recommendation of [livejournal.com profile] richprizor!

That kitten look just like my baby did at that age!
Very sweet.

looks, I meant looks. :P

Your baby was a cat?!!?! And you being a mouse. Scandalous!

I have always adored your wit. :P
