So much snot
Mar. 14th, 2016 07:23 pmDear Halls: Inspirational messages don't belong on cough drop wrappers. "Go for it"? The only things I'm capable of going for when I'm in need of your product are Netflix and hot tea. Maybe, if I'm feeling ambitious, soup.
FYI, a cold was really not what I needed to top off my weekend, but I got one anyway. Feh.
I've been spending time watching Royal Pains, which is exactly the kind of escapist stuff I need right now. I'm disappointed that the fandom, such as it is, didn't latch on to Divya/Evan, because COME ON, snarky and bantery and opposites-attacty? Match made in heaven. If not on the screen, alas.
I also went to my lesson yesterday anyway, because I'm stubborn like that. (Or, as the cough drops would put it, "Tough is your middle name.") We started on flip! And by "started" I mean I'm at the boards, picking my right toe in and jumping up, then landing, with no rotation whatsoever and while holding on for dear life, but it's something. It's basically a loop with a toe-in rather than off the edge, so while we all know my struggles with loop, I'm hoping the toe might make it easier. I prefer toe loop to salchow, which is a somewhat similar situation.
P taught me BF's back scratch spin entry, which is rather different from hers, and...I suck equally at it. If I ever get any kind of back spin--scratch, sit, camel, whatever--I am going to throw a PARTY.
In other news, apparently a reboot of Xena has been approved for a pilot! AND it's going to have Xena and Gabrielle openly in a relationship, rather than subtextually in one, and for campy bonus points it's going to be run by the same guy behind The Middleman! This could be awesome, guys.
