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

The calls are just rolling in today. I'll see what I can squeeze in between calls.

I continue working on my poi tricks. I have a few new ones added to my repertoire. I can do chasing the sun (which looks like the poi are racing around me along a track), and some sort of double weave with my arms wrapping around my body. I have other things I've figured out, but can't even begin to explain in writing. I lack the words. I'll just have to get a video made of 'em so you can see what I'm talking about.

My hiphop dance classes continue. I'm a little frustrated with them. It seems like we just start getting somewhere, and then the class ends. We need at least another half hour, I think. The warmup is just as long, if not longer, than the instruction itself. I feel like I could do it for about three hours at a stretch before I'd get some serious benefit from it. I'm not sure that I've actually learned anything new, but the way the movements are put together is very different to what I'm accustomed to. This in itself is good. It makes me approach movement in a different way.

The music really sucks, though.

...

Lunchbreak has passed, and I think I now have the transitions for chasing the sun move down. For some reason, I'd been having difficulty doing the movement widdershins. It's working much better, now. What shall I work on next, I wonder? Probably behind-my-head butterflies. I'd best wear my helmet with those for a bit, though. Ouch.

I started a little bit of work on a red tulle-bi-telli skirt. I've had a piece of assuit for over a year, and until the other night, had been too afraid to take scissors to it. Well, now I have two pieces of tulle-bi-telli. Yes, I cut it in half. Now I have to figure out how best to turn it into a straight panel skirt without screwing up the metal pattern. I'd like it to be form-fitting around the hips. I'll be experimenting with darts for a while, I guess.

If my writing is fractured, it's because I'm typing approximately two or three words at a time between calls. My voice is worn out. Yig.

Be careful! First you say "Yig" but next you might accidentally summon Yog-Sothoth, and it's all downhill from there!

Downhill?

I rather think it depends on your point of view. ^_^

...and the good news is that if you should ever decide to persue a career as a Dominatrix, many of the poi moves will transfer directly across to floggers! ;-)
