Saturday morning babbling

[clevermanka]

Even as a child, I connected most with Lucy. I knew she wasn't the appropriate character to sympathize with, or even like. But let's face it, of all the personalities in that comic strip, with whom would you prefer to hang out or have on your side? Looking at it from an adult perspective, she's not just the most preferred character to drink with, she's the only character I'd want to drink with. I think we'd get along like a house afire.

This bit of news is annoying. "De-emphasize blog content?" What in the actual fucking fuck. SUP (the Russian company that owns us now) can suck my dick. Stop messing around with layout options, assholes. I mean, really. What was the point of eliminating subject lines in comments? *sigh*

Patrick's funeral and wake are today. I've never been to a wake before. I like the fact that Pat's will be my first. Having my first experience of a wake be with a bunch of rennies will be pretty great. Note to self, though: Wear waterproof mascara. I'm a little troubled by the fact that I'm going to be in KC for probably eight or ten hours today. What am I going to bring to eat?

After talking with Kiva, my wonderful acupuncturist, and following up on some comments by roya_spirit, I'm contemplating treating my back issues as a sacroiliac joint problem. I even bought a Sacro Wedgy. I've only used it twice, though. Finding time to lie down on it for twenty minutes is difficult. I haven't had any luck figuring out a way to sit on it that I don't feel I'm doing myself more damage. I need to make an appointment with my rolfer and get her take on my situation and tips on how to best use this thing. Of course, that's another $60, at the least. $95 if she does a full rolfing session.

At this rate, I am never going to save up enough to buy those boots. To date, I've been able to put away exactly zero dollars toward The Boot Fund. sigh

I gotta head out for KC in about two and a half hours. I should probably do my nails now. Ciao.

Boo SUP. I'm glad I have a Dreamwidth account as backup if SUP really gets bad, but seriously, guys, blog content is everything.

I hope your back issues get better soon.

INORITE? To both those things. =/

Wow -- the sacrowedgy demo has her doing all the things I do to try to get my hips to stop hurting. They don't quite work just doing them, so I am ordering one of those to see if it makes a difference.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I hope it helps!

I just looked at the Sacro Wedgy website and I am intrigued. I hope it works for you and you get some relief. Keep us posted! With my chronic SI problems (which began when I broke my tailbone in jr high playing basketball), I am considering giving it a whirl myself. I wish I knew which one to buy, given my height. Hmmm...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

If you wanna borrow mine, or heck, just come over and lie on my floor with it for fifteen minutes, lemme know. I think we're the same height, though, and both long-torso, yes? And I got the Lady one.

How tall are you? I'm 5'9' but my torso is about the same as that of someone closer to 5'6"-7", so a bit longer than the average woman, I'd say.

I may take you up on that offer if my current exercise program doesn't do the trick. They say on the website that you can ususally tell if it is the right one pretty quickly.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'm 5'7" and very long in the torso. When my 6' partner and I sit down on a level surface, we're the same height.

You know where to find me!

[anomali.livejournal.com]

My 5'6" husband and I also have the same length torso. All of my extra height is in my thighs. They are annoyingly long proportionally, which only serves to make airplane travel even more miserable: (

I bet that long torso adds to your natural dancing ability.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Hm. If you have a short torso, then, you should go with the Lady, I think.

[anomali.livejournal.com]

I think you're right.

I wish they could just assign one layout set to stay the same and only have these changes affect new users and opt-in sorts. I don't want to defect to DW. :(

I am interested to know how the Sacro Wedgy works! I do hope things get better for you on that front.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'll be posting about the Sacro Wedgy success (or not), to be sure.
