starfrosting | muscles, mindfulness, cupcakes (Reply)

First the : This David Kirsch workout dvd is so great. Especially the part when we do this shoulder exercise that's kinda weird and he says, "I gotta thank my Daddy, this one's his." Aw. Also Mr Kirsch looks like some very aryan, possibly gay-as-hell, very tan and lean alien. It's all very inspiring.

Now the more : I don't know how to explain it without sounding like I'm reducing my expectations. That's not it at all. I still have stardusted expectations and many of them are far-fetched and that's fabulous. It's just, hm, lately I've been releasing myself from the negative aspects of those expectations. Yknow, when sometimes "expectation" really means anticipation really means anxiety really means diappointment? Yeah, I'm slowly moving toward not doing that. And it feels really good to just be here with whatever it is at the moment, breathing.

Also, if anyone knows how it is possible to mail freshly-baked cupcakes to yr Texan girlfriend via the us postal service, please let me know. I haven't made them yet but I want to make sure they're fresh, and that the delicious frosting that I'll have crafted doesn't melt and crust onto the packing tape in transit.

edited to add: Oh yes, I forgot: I ordered a pretty cheap subscription to The Nation today. I realized I am so out of touch with even basic progressive-bent news, and I do feel kind of grown-up to have a subscription to a political magazine. How erudite, hahaha.

There is so much that I want to know about that I probably never will. Hence the skillshare with Nicole. First I better study up on rhizomatics!
