Earthbound camels
May. 9th, 2015 05:08 pmToday I learned how to do a camel spin!
Note how I did not say "I did a camel spin." Because mine is definitely more of an arabesque at best. But it felt really cool! I think I'll get the hang of it faster than I did the scratch spin.
P and I also worked on sit spins. Mine is more of a "perching on a barstool" kind of spin, and may or may not ever get lower, but I seem able to center it better and keep it going longer than a scratch.
Backspin is still a disaster, but this surprises no one.
Benign neglect improved the forward circle eight a lot. Now my right foot is the good one on the outside edge, and it's the left one where I have to touch down very briefly at the top of the circle. IDK. At least it's better.

In TV news, as you all have heard by now, Agent Carter got renewed. Yay! And...the Muppets are coming back to TV. With "a 'contemporary' and 'more adult' take on the Muppets that will, according to a logline 'explore the Muppets' personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires.'"
Okay, then.
