The Syndicate

I get fingerprinted to take the GA Bar on Mondaaaaaay. Since I've been barred for over 10 years, I only have to take one day of the exam. Gonna start studying in May (probably sooner, who am I kidding).

Did you see the court artist's sketch of her? She looked downright defiant. that's some serious client mishandling, iyam.

Tomorrow I am going to the Paranormal Cirque! I am jazzed.

Indeed I am! It went well. The host was in Boston and the director in Burbank, so I was in a room by myself with a microphone and headphones. I only got to talk for about 5-10 minutes out of the hour, but I think I handled myself well. The director said "Logan is right" at one point, so that was a high point.

The episode has been posted online if you're interested.
Good job, I am very proud of you!
Not as proud as I am of you!

But it's also a part of non-Catholic religious practices and that makes it bad. Also probably not.
Yoga isn't a religious practice though - just think of it like Soccer or any other non-religious athletic activity. It can be incorporated into any religious belief (or non belief) the practitioner has.
Yoga may not be a religious practice, but it's certainly a spiritual one. It is absolutely not analogous to a purely athletic activity like soccer.

Actually, it can be if the practitioner seeks to only practice one of the eight limbs (asana = poses).

Epi is right. YouTube is a wealth for good classes. I recommend Lesley Fightmaster channel because she has a flow ir class for every body, need, level, time amount, etc. I often do her classes when I can't make it to the studio.
I have a friend who's leading a workshop she created on yoga for rock climbers. I'm signed up and definitely attending!

That's fantastic! A lot of the yoga studio owners I know in St Pete are also rock climbing enthusiasts (both indoor and outdoor).

Hm, I have no idea. Maybe girl = white wine? I dunno. I'll drink any wine that isn't too sweet.

No because all of the people in the room were women. I think it's because I have a known sweet tooth, but I just don't tend to favor sweet wines.

Today I had a banana as a dessert. WTF

I can barely move my legs, my quads are like cement. That hot power yoga will do that.

I have staggering law loans that are double my mortgage. I am so glad that I went with T.H.E. all those years ago! I agree, I've heard nothing but awful things from my friends that borrowed via Sallie Mae. I'm hoping to work in the public interest for 10+ years in order to have the balance of my loans forgiven. Several of the individual loans will be paid off by then, but forgiveness will still help me loads.

How does one have soup themed yoga? Is it because you get stretchy like noodles?

My hair is getting pretty long too.

I did a pose I renamed Stirring the Pot and stuff like that. The motif was Comfort, which goes well with soup.

That stand would be perfect for beside the front door. A tiny Depression glass dish for your keys and a tiny drawer for your accouterments. Things you need to grab on the way in to work (or school).

I am always paralyzed with fear that my cat's social media account is going to get frozen or banned.

I teach yoga now! Every Weds night.

I've been thinking it was called SNACKchat this whole time. I like the idea of snapchat a lot less.

I'm really into podcasts. The Message is really good as was Serial. I just couldn't get into Nightvale the first time around (a few years ago), but I guess I will give it another go. I also really like Lore, which is non-fiction origin stories of common urban myths (scary ones, usually).

Pipecleaner says hi.
If you want, I can snapchat pictures of things I'm snacking on to you.

Hmm. Let me ask you some questions. Do I want snapchat? Is this something people in Gen X even have? Why wouldnt you just text it to me (serious question). For isntance, why do you, Holden Metalmarsh, like snapchat?

@ Epi - Is Tunces a driving cat?

My only new news is I started Yoga Teacher Training (taught Sun Salutations A&B today) and I also have mono.

Talk to your children about living with mono.

I was surprised that someone bothered with mine too! My house is clutter-free and my office is orderly, so the Mazda ends up the dumping ground for all the miscellany.
You should get a garage or an attic.

That would be ideal. I have an outdoor utility closet, but I can't lock it and it's uncooled, so there are only certain things I can put out there that won't be stolen or ruined by the heat and humidity.

This is the first weekend that I've had totally free in 6 months. I predict a lot of reading and netflix in my future.

Which probably means that someone made off with some of your personals.

They did indeed. A checkbook, so I had to close and reopen a new account, my GPS, and some family heirloom jewelry. I put in a police report and will check the pawn shops.

His Internet may have gotten cut off. It's very expensive there.

The documentary about Roger Ebert is on Netflix and I'm halfway through. It's called Life Itself, based on his memoir of the same title. I strongly suggest you watch it, and I challenge you to not cry.

I leave tomorrow to go to St Pete -- it's primarily for my divorce final hearing on tuesday. I'd appreciate any love you might wanna send my way -- either in the ether or in a PM, etc!

I'm really sad there is no cheesecake in my house. WHY
