Breaking Muscle has suggestions for improving your alignment, stability, and motor control. I'm pleased to note that Andrew includes at least one of these in every weekly routine for me. Nerd Fitness posted an article about being anti-fragile that's pretty great, too. And [livejournal.com profile] ms_danson posted a link to this fantastic essay on breaking a Low Mood cycle. Happy Health Reading!

A recent Toast Link Roundup posted a link to an article about people taking pictures of fireworks with their phones. It prompted me to share this memory, there and here:

When I was fourteen, I entered to the State Fair a photo I took of my godparents' dog in their lake. He was an enormous golden retriever, standing armpit-deep in the shallows and looking down into the water at a fish. His nose was an inch above the water and the water was so still that his entire body above the surface was perfectly reflected. I'd taken one photography course and was avidly applying Fibonacci's Ratio to EVERYTHING. Thirty years later, I still believe it's one of the best photographs I've ever taken. I got second place. First place? A generic photo of a bunch of fireworks. I AM STILL BITTER, Y'ALL. Still bitter.

I mean, people can take all the phone photos they want, and see the world through their phone as they please. What pisses me off is ALL THE PHONES BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE EVENT. And photographs of fireworks taking first place at the state fair photography competition. Fuck you, 1984 Kansas State Fair Photography Judges. JUST FUCK YOU.

[livejournal.com profile] mckitterick and I re-watched this old episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast a while ago and just...oh my god you guys. I remember a time when I watched this thing like, once a week. My ex and I had it saved on our TiVo and we would just...oh, watch it all the time.



My back is slowly feeling better. [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick was kind enough to give me a backrub last night and it helped loosen things up. I have another chiropractor appointment for Friday afternoon. And I told Andrew that I'm still a bit tender but I want/plan to see him Sunday--just taking it easy on low back stuff.

EXCELSIOR!
