getting bendy



well might not be quite there yet. or even remotely close to touching toes or anything approaching grace and mastery. however am very much enjoying my little ritual with rom. which involves doing odd impressions of camels, dogs and fish and candles on a smelly mat. not to mention getting gently prodded by CK-lookalike teacher. admiring romolo's capsized turtle maneuvers and coming into my own in the lotus position (natch, what else). while rom enjoys his showers in the company of other naked men, i sip tea and wait like a good sweaty hag outside, making pleasant conversation with the staff. i proceed to forget little j's helmet in several venues (a fact that didn't escape the ever vigilant rom) and order water by the gallon with relish and mapping out august, bereft of yoga and so much more.
i won't be showering tonight.

Helmet? You need a helmet for yoga? Things are very different in your country...

I think it's unnatural. Like sleeping with sheep. I REFUSE to do more yoga.

I love yoga sans the moaners, groaners and farters.

I don't understand: who thought it was a good idea for a human body to be contorted into the shape of a fish body? How is that Natchrel?

It's similar to Maude's attempts to walk on two legs, like a human -- I suppose you have to admire the fact of her doing it, but the fact is she doesn't look remotely like any human I know and one is left with the impression that she is, in fact, extremely uncomfortable.

No, I'm clear on this one: our natural position is slumped on a sofa in front of a big screen projection. Oh yes.

I'll be doing a downward facing dog tonight.
