Part Deux

Yesterday, HMV Portage Place:

Me: *places New Moon on Blu-Ray on the counter* "Don't judge me."

HMV hipster employee bursts out laughing, says he sold hundreds of copies on Saturday, and we have a short, pleasant conversation in which he comments that my glasses are "bitchin'". Dude. You made my day.

Last May.

Downward Facing Pog

I have been taking yoga for years. I love it. I would take a yoga class every day if I could (aka if I had unlimited funds and didn't might spending that much time away from home... though trust me, it's mostly the funds). I don't like doing it on my own, I like doing it as part of a class where an instructor tells you what to do and when, and corrects your faulty poses.

Last week I led some work people through some yoga at a small conference... and it felt really great! I enjoyed it, a lot. I used a combination of music that one of my current instructors uses, a song from the New Moon soundtrack (haha, they'll never know), and finished the set with Burial by Alexisonfire. Some people were like, "You should teach yoga!" and the next day, one of my instructors said "I can tell you where I take instructor classes!" and in my head I'm like "COOL hey why DON'T I become a yoga instructor? That would be so neat" and then I remember that I went to university for five years and studied something that I like and have a job doing something I like, and also that I change hobbies like people change their jackets (seasonally). Still, taking instructor training some time would be cool, if I can fit it in with all my other hobbies.

Remember Pogs? Man, that was a boring game. I don't know what we saw in it. I wish somebody had taken away my pogs and shown me to a yoga class when I was 12.
