Silks, etc.

I went back to Silks last night, for the first time since May. I had been thinking of giving it up altogether after getting very frustrated with my lack of progress last spring, but getting back on them at imlad and dietrich's wedding a few weeks ago proved a heady and delightful experience, so back I went

Ooofdah! It just started snowing in Boulder... nothing sticking yet though. Enjoy your warm and cozy 57 degrees :)

getting stuck due to not being able to think straight from fatigue on the silks is actually a typical experience-- happens to everyone. there are a couple of handy skills for getting through it, the most important of which is to remember to breathe deeply and evenly, and move slowly (it's surprising how much this helps).

welcome back!

There's a juggling/circus type group here on campus that I've started to get involved with as they sometimes play with fire. It makes me sad because I'm not all that good, but I'm probably as good as most of them at poi, and far better at staff as they don't have anyone who does that. They're also more into the juggling than the fire, but I plan to fix that. The relevant thing, however, is that some of them do silks, and I'm excited about the opportunity to try it. It's not something I'm interested in enough to seek it out on it's own, but I think it would be very cool if it was readily available.
