brains, brains, brains
Mar. 23rd, 2007 12:05 pmBetween a general lack of sleep and a very relaxing walk in the sunshine to the T this morning, it is safe to say that my brain has checked out for the day. Come on, caffeine, keep me going just a few more hours...
( Speaking of brains, I finished This is Your Brain on Music )
Worked on double veil at the Dance Complex last night. Need more practice--I haven't done it since last summer--but I was pretty satisfied with what I saw. Those Akai veils are just so darn beautiful they do most of the work for one, all I really have to do is manage not to drop them. My upper torso muscles are feeling all the work today for sure. It's a different group of muscles than the ones you use with wings of Isis, kind of interesting. edited to add: it's my latissimus dorsi that ache today, with wings it would be more the deltoids and trapezius.
I haven't danced in front of a mirror in a long time--I've done classes with mirrors, of course, but not expressive original dancing. I should remember to do that once in a while. My posture is better than I think it is.
A couple of people on the Arlington birdwatching list reported seeing a pair of redtailed hawks mating while balanced on the trumpet of the Angel Moroni on top of the Mormon temple on Route 2. Heh, bet the Mormons had no idea they were providing a sexy penthouse when they put that thing up there...
