So, all my people, I have been terribly busy! I went to Manhattan this weekend, again ... this time I went to the Jivamukti Yoga School (worth the click just for the nice chant) where Uma Thurman's brother Dechen teaches, and where nobody eats any animal products of any kind, and glares at you if you don't keep mauna in the hallways (which I thought meant singing Billy Idol's version of Mony Mony, but I found out means "silence"), and ostracizes you if you wear your shoes. At Jivamukti, I learned that there are some positions I cannot get my body into, and that if I try, I will pay by having sore muscles for 2 whole days.
In New York, I also learned that some entire blocks can be closed off to foot traffic, because some sort of very important filming is going on. I also learned that the subways do not, in fact, smell like urine as I anticipated.
I've resurfaced just long enough to lay out some warmed-over Friday's Feast for you. I meant to do this Friday, but you don't mind the delay, do you? It's still fresh and tender. Bon apetit!

I was going to say eyes, but that's not true. I do a full-body sweep, noting height and overall build in one giant eyeful. Then I leg-wrestle the guy to see if I can beat him. If I can't, I let him tie me to the wall and douse me with a firehose.

I have purchased my airline ticket for Vajayjayville. Please meet me at the gate. Thank you.
And... Good Lord! What were you thinking trying to turn yourself into a pretzel? Unsafe. Unsafe. Unsafe.
Ahem.
I missed you. Glad you had fun.
I didn't read any of that. Put your forehead on the floor, point your ass towards the door and wait for me to come over.
You have strange and wonderous freezer contents.
I like how you handle the meeting of new men. We so need to go out together sometime. You can wrestle them down and I'll check their abs for the appropriate level of fitness.
Can I tie you to the wall and douse you with a firehose? Please?
i have edamame in my freezer, as well as mauna.
i keep everything in the freezer.
kite runner takes the back burner to john kennedy toole.
vajayjayville is a great place to visit. I just wish I could there more that once every couple of years.
Edamame are my favourite of all the beans, just so you know, in case there's some sort of bean related census or something....not that there is, obviously........
Is that what you call it? Firehose?
I bet Vajayjayville will attract a lot of men with firehoses. It will be Utopia!
I haven't done Friday's feast in so long. I love reading them.
I just started working in Manahattan and every day is a new adventure. That yoga class sounds fun.
Vajayjayville.... Ha!
You have strange and wonderous comments.
The creepiest thing about Dechen Thurman is that he played a guy who worked at a bookstore in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" and he was all agog over....Uma Thurman. Blech!
