“we’re gonna have a tv party tonight.
alright…
don’t talk about anything else,
we don’t wanna know.
we’re dedicated to our favorite shows.”

happy friday sweat friends! since my yogini tweeps are staying home tonight, i’m technically not alone on a friday evening. i like to tell people that i have friends, but they’re on the computer. kinda like tron, in a way.

so, how do you feel about nike giving free product to michael vick? they’re not calling it an endorsement because they’re not paying him anything but he’s still gonna get free swag. my dad wasn’t happy that they let him back in the nfl. i’m not sure how i feel. on one hand, the man has paid his debt to society, it’s time to move past this and start anew. on the other hand, he committed some heinous crimes and less than 3 years later he’s back on the field. he obviously got the millionaire justice system, so has he really paid his debt to society? the man slammed dogs to the concrete to die, he should be in prison for at least 10 years if you ask me. prison changes some people and others see it as part of life, did vick learn anything while he was there? he’s playing in the nfl now, so there’s nothing i can do about it. i’m just not sure how i should feel—forgive and forget? even though i live with a cat, i’ve got dog envy big time, and that’s where i stand, with the dogs.

sorry friends, sometimes i just wanna talk about stuff other than bikram yoga for a minute. so if you have an opinion, don’t be shy. i do love bikram yoga though. during and after class, our teacher talked about how bikram leads class when he teaches. i saw a facebook photo of him teaching class in las vegas a few days ago and he had on a cool, black silk robe! it must be so exciting to be in a room with him. well, i can’t wait to read mei’s reactions.

i took a page out of my own book this morning. instead of doing the fun friday four, i did the noon today. i like the four because of the teacher, so why not change my pitch up and take an early class? well, to be honest, changing class times was a great chance to practise at the same time as someone i met yesterday. it’s always nice to practise next to another strong energy and i thought it would be a nicer friday if i practised with someone instead of practising alone at a class i’m only attending because of the teacher. it felt like progress, sort of. i had a great class though because i was between her and my other friend, so the entire time i was like, “don’t wimp out, don’t wimp out.” it din’t seem hot at first, but by ustrasana, the felt oppressive. it felt like that awful desert heat where you can barely lay back in your lounge chair and lift a cold glass of lemonade to rub across your forehead. writing it now, reminds me of those days in a pleasant way, but i was not enjoying it at the time. ugh, i din’t enjoy class until i was in the shower, ha ha.

alright, i got outta my routine today, now it’s time to watch last night’s tv shows on the sweat hulu stream! i ate breakfast this morning and watched the office and jon stewart. now, for my friday evening, i have (and i love this title) saturday night live’s weekend update thursday, plus parks & recreation *and* conan (coco-lo) and jimmy fallon! tv party in the birdhouse tonight ~ alright! the irony is that they mention two of my favorite shows in that song ~ saturday night live and monday night football. oh, i really like this one from the farmers market a few weeks back! click to see the larger version and really enjoy! see you tomorrow ~m
