Tonight was spent bouncing between house parties
Me at a musician house party: Mm yes hello I am the most vastly cool person here, allow me to throw around clever stories and flirt with everything that moves and make everyone around me explode in raucous laughter.
Me at a circus house party: Wow hi hello that is some amazeballs tech poi you have going on there let me just sit quietly and eat these cookies while you discuss your upcoming tours.

it seems this bottle of dark mead makes me mighty like Mind Viking and yet easily confused like… easily confused thing
I have had the unutterable luck to run into Warren Ellis’ various online brain depositories throughout the entire time I’ve been interacting with humans on the internet (first Livejournal, then twitter, now tumblr). This makes me happy.

Crossfit Day
I nearly skipped Crossfit this morning- not due to any lack of motivation, but because I haven’t been able to walk without pain since those 80 wall-ball squats on Wednesday. And it’s frustrating me that the pain and soreness from Crossfit is negatively impacting my Saturday morning handbalancing class.

(More on the Squid, its nipples, and the various names we’ve given to the brewing equipment in the ‘booch factory run almost entirely by perennially shirtless circus kids later).
I made it through the initial lifting...

I’ve started filming my daily handstand practice, because one, progress is cool to see and two, I can imagine a hilarious gag reel compilation of me falling out of them.
The side effect is that I get to see some of my kickovers and what they actually look like. This is my progress towards scorpion and the leg-pike thingy I’ve been doing when I come back over lately.
