Yesterday saw a very excited ShanMonster when I realized I can now flip myself upside down on the pole into something akin to a handstand. I can hardly wait until I can extricate myself from said position gracefully. Right now, I kind of slide-clunk my way down the pole headfirst until I land on my shoulders, back, then arse. It's not a pretty sight. But I can flip upside down!
My Tuesdays are about to get hella busy, with cycling to kung fu in the morning, cycling back, taking an hour of intermediate pole class, cycling back out to kung fu, and cycling back home. That's a total of two hours of cycling.
Tonight, when I get back from work, I'm off for another pole class, and tomorrow, I want to start up with modern/lyrical again. It's been far too long since I last did modern or lyrical dance.
My deltoids are still slabs of marble. I checked them out in the mirror. They definitely look larger than I remember. My lats are beginning to emerge once again, too. Once I get my eating back on track, they'll pop like mad.
I stopped by Value Village again yesterday. It was 50%-off day. I was hoping the button key accordion I'd seen there last week would still be there, but it wasn't. So I guess I won't be reacquainting myself with that nerdy instrument any time soon. Those suckers are expensive! I did, however, score another fabulous find. I bought a beautiful suede coat for about seven bucks. I just need to replace the buttons, and it's good to go. I found an amazing dress, too, but sadly had to let it go. It's just too small for me. I'd have bought it for someone smaller, like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lindalicious or redlyra, but I wasn't sure if it would be to their liking and I don't have the money to spare on a gamble.
Oh, and I'd love to dress like this for Hallowe'en:![[Alien Queen]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/1afa22484063/2919457-601022/www.beesign.at/falten/view/heroines/alien2.jpg "[Alien Queen]")
Are you ready for some links? Here you go....
Robotic Cow Tongue: I think I may have linked to this before, but it's creepy enough for another go-round.
I Love (not having kids with) You; Birth Control of Yesteryear...: "The universal symbol of love and affection has its origins in an herb that let the ancients fornicate [like rabbits] free from the worries of pregnancy. Yep, thats right, the heart shaped sign that we all know and love originated as the universal sign for a natural birth control pill."
Hard-core for Christ: "Heavy metal guitars, lyrics about burning flesh, and the faithful crying out to bathe in Jesus' blood might trigger an exodus at traditional churches. But it packs them in every Sunday at the nondenominational Deliverance Bible Church in Hurst."
Woman visits her own heart at exhibition: Not everyone gets to look at their heart in a jar (thanks,tdj).
Morbid little comic: Ha!
Idahomosexual Public Service: "As a public service to those people who are straight or gay or NOT GAY, NOT GAY, NOT GAY, who may be dramatically impaired, I offer you my reading of the police report from the incident in which the NOT GAY conservative Senator from the great state of Idaho was arrested for playing NOT GAY footsie with an undercover cop."
Goats sacrificed to fix Nepal jet: "Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft" (thanks, Benoît).
Instructional Film for Women: Women! Know your place (thanks, Tom)!
