Talk to me

[clevermanka]

Here are some variations on tendonitis stretches that I've not seen before.

A lot of these movements for building a bullet-proof core require gym equipment, but they look amazing.

Today's Tumblr is Tuesday, June 16: Water.

Talk to me, people. It's gonna be another slow day for me. I'm open to topics of conversation. Mad Max meta? The contents of Chris Pratt's trousers? General sex talk? Venting about social ills? Discussions of craft projects? Whatever, people. I'm dying, here.

Your Tumblr collection today is absolutely gorgeous!!

I would love to discuss the contents of Chris Pratt's trousers, but I can't afford to get all hot and bothered at work :/

Instead I'll tell you that I've decided that I'm going to find a Raptor costume and scare the hell out of the kidlets that are here for Upward Bound when they pass by the office making enough noise to wake the dead. I'm betting that they'll pee themselves.

I LOVE IT. Any possibility you can get video? Or at least a pic?

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

I think we're going to do video and take stills from it :D I can hear their little screams now - it's going to be epic! I just need a suit!

I imagine it'll go something like this, only with more pee:

Agreed on the collection, it was a moment of calm in my day.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay! So glad it was good for you.

So awhile back you said something about having to struggle into a sports bra when you are not feeling well so you don't have to deal with underwire. I was just wondering if you have ever thought of trying maternity/nursing bras? They dont have underwire and are usually a really comfortable fit.

Just a random suggestion.

Hm! Certainly something to consider, thanks!

This summer my SO is co- producing a water ballet about Jeff Goldblum that will involve huge dinosaur puppets. The group, Fluid Movement, was recently profiled on Mike Rowe's show on CNN, in a segment about Baltimore.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. Again, I request video and/or pics.

D'you have a link to a video of the spotlight piece? I googled "mike rowe cnn jeff goldblum water ballet" and all I got was their FB page.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

Checking with Justin. It was from their last production, but there will be show video when Goldblum is done. The best part is Goldblum knows about it and approves.

I could only find this teaser for the episode.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh my god it looks MAGICAL.

And, a friend of mine wrote this about Mad Max, if you need some reading:

Oh that is WONDERFUL and I'll be including it in my MMFR meta collection.

Ok, one more. I'm thinking of trying the KonMari tidying thing on my house. Feeling a little like it's a fad and thus I am suspicious, but also I am tired of all the accumulated stuff and associated emotional baggage.

Am also pondering how to manuver Justin and I into separate bedrooms. He knows it will happen some day, but it may need to be soon. Don't you two do that? Is it something you did from the start or something you moved towards?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I keep hearing about KonMari and I feel the need to google it just to keep up my internet street cred. I'm leery, though, because I have given up keeping my house tidy (let's just...not get into that, okay?) and reading about tidy stuff would probably just make me irritable about my own untidy house.

Yes, mckitterick and I sleep separately. It was kind of a joint decision but I definitely kicked off the process by saying something along the lines of "I need to start getting better sleep and I think I would do that if you just weren't here in bed with me." Good luck negotiating your own separate sleeping arrangements. It has a such a stigma in our society and that's really too bad.

This is a nice summary of one person's experience:

http://rvanews.com/news/a-true-account-of-the-life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up/124633

A couple I know have two rooms and love it. I really want my bedroom to be a sanctuary and J is SO MESSY. Also, I sleep better alone, and am not a cuddly person in bed. On the other hand, I'm worried about it screwing up sexytimes because my drive is low enough that I could see blowing it off because I literally don't think about it. Or, maybe making it more purposeful would be a bonus.

I got about five paragraphs into that blog article and had to back out because yeah, that's just gonna dredge up stuff I've had to let go in the interest of maintaining a good relationship. Basically, I'm the husband in that relationship described and I've had to do some serious work not letting myself get bothered by the messes and clutter in our house.

TBH, my clock alarm for sexytimes has never been before bed, so that hasn't been a problem with the separate sleeping arrangements. I'm much more a late-afternoon girl. Sex after work, then dinner, then whatever (yoga, movie, reading, etc.), then bed.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

Seriously, bedtime is for BEDTIME. I tend to default to the morning because hey, I'm there and I'm awake!

A couple more that I hope you already found:

I hate that everything is blocked at work. I also hate typing comments on my phone, so my internet activity during the day is limited.

I actually came here to say something rather meaningful but oh my fuck I am suddenly so exhausted I sort of want to go bed and it's not even 7 yet.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that DOES suck. BOO. So does exhaustion. FUCK YOU EXHAUSTION.
