Earth Day
Ladies! Party In My Pants cloth liners is having an Earth Day sale. If you've never purchased cloth pads or liners from them, you can order for one hundred percent free one free pad. For return customers, or those already sold on the idea, there's a 10% off coupon. Use code EARTHDAY11 at checkout. The Earth Day offer is only good today, obviously, but there is free shipping today through the end of the month.
Last night's Rumi presentation was disappointing. The dancers and musicians were beautiful and moving (ha). But the speaker was awful--said nothing I didn't already know, said nothing I couldn't have looked up on wikipedia, and said nothing that made it worth struggling past his accent to understand. The man who read the poetry had a nice voice, but it was just nice. Not modulated or engaging or anything. Frankly, I would've rather had the presentation speaker read the poetry in the original language. I might not have understood the words, but they would have at least sounded interesting.
In spite of the atrocious name of the organizing group (SPICMACAY? What were they thinking?), I am considering going to this concert tomorrow. Load this video just for the sound. Don't try to watch it--you'll get seasick.
Just let that play and open up your F-page to read in a different window. Isn't that soothing and beautiful? And now I want chicken tikka masala.
Edit: Jesus Christ. I'm talking about Earth Day, cloth panty liners, and weird tingy-ling music. I sound like a hippie. D=

So....I'm really glad I stayed home and finished that bottle of wine.

There was no discussion about the ties between Sufi dancing and Rumi's poetry, nothing about the ritual of the dance itself, nothing about Rumi's own spiritual beliefs. Just "Here's when he was born, here's a short history of his life, and now we have some whirling dervishes, enjoy."

It was nice to see Clark drumming, though. And his wife, Malika, was one of the dancers.

We May...
... Have Lived In Lawrence Too Long,
but we will never, ever wear patchouli.

For serious, though, the cloth liners are great. Super comfortable and don't smell like Hygiene Product. Although with some pairs of underwear I have to safety pin them in place.
no subject
Ok. THAT just terrifies me.
no subject
Besides, after two decades of pinning my dance costumes to my panties, I'm pretty cavalier about safety pins in that area.
no subject
Yep, there's a reason the slang term is "on the rag"

If I start wearing patchouli, shoot me.

Yah, the vodka will eliminate the stench.

Believe it or not, I used to wear it.. long long ago and before I lived here.
Living here and smelling it all the time mixed with garlic and BO killed it for me. I threw it all away.

Hasn't been an issue when I'm wearing a newer pair, though.

That, and a new Diva cup to replace the crappy Instead I'd tried and failed to continuously use.

Let me know if you have any questions; I'll be happy to share what I've learned.

Super, thanks! I joined the LJ community to compare the different types.
Yah, Insteads are like an old diaphragm, and I can actually *feel* that weird huge ring, too. Ick.

I've been looking for a good outlet for cloth pads. The GladRags I use as Diva backup (for days when I am bleeding heavilyy and also uncertain about my access to bathroom facilities) work OK, but tend to the 'bunchy and clunky' end of things.
Thanks!
Much love,
Rowan
