Spinning Around and Round

Leave a comment

The topic of today’s entry is going to be Poi. Not the food, the sport/art/dance/hobby of spinning poi. And my love for it. 

Oh how I had forgotten.

I spun for a few hours yesterday. It was wonderful. I haven’t spun poi in months and I was so worried I would have forgotten everything, or I would be hitting myself. Nope! Well, a few times, but that was bound to happen. My younger brother also spun with me which was great. I like having someone to talk to while I do it.

The point of this story is I feel that after my hiatus from spinning, after just one day, I’m already totally head over-heels in love with it again. It’s a fun work out and it really helps my brain and body work together in new ways.

I’m going to search hi and low for one of my poi video’s so I can post it!

Silly Rabbit

Leave a comment

I feel like a silly rabbit right now. I’ve been scratching my head for days, trying to figure out something fun to do.

I have lots of hobbies! I swear!

Except I’m sick of all of them. I primed old canvases to start painting, I broke out sketch pads. Nothing. I couldn’t force a single damn thing.

The weather hasn’t been agreeable enough to make me go outside and spin poi.

The ukulele kills my fingers and I just can’t be bothered into doing it enough to gain caluses. I know. LAZY.

The horse I’m taking over still has sore feet so I can’t do much with her. Also the weather… is sucky.

Photography? That’d be perfect! If I could find my camera charger. Anyone have a spare canon battery charger..? Email me!

So what did I finally decide to do today after a WEEK of being manic depressed/bored/lonely? Hook up my PC. I’m 100% entertained and happy to have something to do. My blog!

What a fantastic indoor, nerd-out, mind numbing hobby. I feel silly for not doing it earlier. Like the first day I moved into this place.

I’m fighting with the resolution. I have my PC set up in the living room hooked up to my flat screen.. and everything is great! Except I can’t read the text for shit. Every adjustment I make to the text seems to throw the whole resolution off. So it’s all or nothing. Good thing I don’t have to look at my fingers while I type and that red squigly line lets me know if I do any misspelling.

Hooray.

Bad Manners

1 Comment

I would just like to apologize for my random hiatus. I realize it’s bad manners and bad form for me because my blog is still “new” and I really don’t have archives for people to read.

But I needed it. Oh oh oh did I ever need it.

An incredible friend of mine, J, sent me a sick Motorola Xoom that I’ve been in love with since the moment I opened the box.

I also received my 120 film and adjusted it to fit my (new to me!) duaflex II kodak camera.

These have completely consumed my time. A friend of mine had a birthday party on Saturday which I attended. I spun my poi a little, played games, and drank more than I should have.

I also did that on Friday.

And on Thursday.

And probably a bunch before that too.

You see why I went on hiatus.

Shit got cray.

Yeah I said it.

So now that all of that is out of my system I’m feeling a bit more like myself. A bit more grounded. My head is in a better place.

I had a ridiculous week. I had become financially drained with car troubles and supporting another human. Another adult human. It definitely reminded me I’m in no position to have a baby ever. Not that I really needed reminding. Sorry, that’s pretty off topic.

I would talk about my love life, but I don’t have one anymore. So that’s out too.

Work is awesome. Woo! Ending on a good note.
