the 3rd week already...

...FINALLY i got sleep. like real, honest to god sleep where i had dreams and everything. it was the first time i'd had a dream since arriving in hawaii. i dont even remember what it was about, but i'm sure it was weird.
they still haven't quite ironed out all the kinks yet. in hawaii, no one has ever really needed a powerful heater, and the contractors didn't really understand 120 degrees. so the first week wasn't hot at all, and last week they wired an elaborate system of 50 little space heaters with extension cords, then the contractors finally installed 18 heaters in the ceiling, but we only have enough power to use 4 at a time. it takes a while to get your biz sent to hawaii. they had the 4 running today and it wasn't that hot, but there is NO air circculation, so the bottom quarter of the mirrors are foggy and it's impossible to breathe while on the floor. it's amazing how just sitting up brings so much fresh air.
things are defintely coming in ebbs and flows. last week was pretty weak sauce, and this week is off to a strong start. my back still hurts all the time, but i was able to grab my feet in camel pose for the first time this morning. and i didn't fall out of a few postures that i usually fall out of. lately we've been having a lot of emmy and Jim from San Diego (i really like him), and bikram has had some potential investors in the back of class for the last week so he's been all chummy and funny while he teaches. i feel like they are just waiting to unleash craig on us to break our fragile selves.
i am still really liking it here. i am even coming to love Mr. Las Vegas, because he is just so ridiculously lame. i will have to snag a picture of him to load on here, because i could never fully capture the full skeezy letcherousness that he embodies with words.

Hey, can I link to your blog from mine? I love your perspective, and you have all the great Bikram quotes that I can never remember. Let me know--my blog is http://bellsonhertoes.blogspot.com (I'm the one who cried in front of everyone when Dr. Glass was here). Enjoy the weekend!

Uh yeah, that part about unleashing Craig on us...we got a little bit of that today. Thanks to Craig I hurt my knee on the 2nd part of Awkward pose today. Yeah! I can't believe you write down everything Bikram says, especially when he has verbal diarrhea. I also like that you don't like flacid or squat. I will do my best to use them in the same sentence.

Hmm, I added a link to you by editing my template HTML. There might be an easier way, though, but I don't know what it is. Possibly if you edit your template settings (if you go to your blogger.com dashboard and click on the "Template" link next to where it says "Manage") and click on the "customize design" tab? Sorry I can't be more helpful!

You are linked! Just go to Layout, then Links, and you put in the web address and you're set! Going to look at the crabs at night sounds fun. I saw a lady with this stick with some string on the end and she was trying to catch them. Those small black crabs can't have that much meat on them. No thanks. I like to look at them though. Thanks for the photography and tattoo comments. The tattoo on my side I just got a week before training. It's from an album by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy aka Will Oldham. I've always really felt a deep connection towards it, and as I'm trying to close up this chapter of my life and move forward, it was the only thing that expressed my anger, frustration, and turmoil of the last number of years in San Diego. Don't worry what you write about. It's your blog, so if people don't like it, whatever.

I like your eccentricities. I find them charming. I don't know how you aren't sleeping and not being tired. Half of the time I'm Oscar the Grouch and the other half I'm floating with glee. I just want balance and moderation. Not for 6 more weeks!
