I had a rather good practice this morning, in which I accomplished:

• A half lutz that, while it was a bit stumbly, took off from the correct edge and went up in the air before coming back down on one foot;
• A scratch spin that must have had at least five, maaaaybe six revolutions on one foot;
• A gorgeously silent forward outside three turn at the ( Read more... )

You know what? I am going to post some good things, because the last month here has been a litany of woe and I'm tired of it ( Read more... )

Crap, where did October go? ...Oh, wait.

Today was a hydrocodone-level cramping day, but I told my reproductive system to go to hell and skated anyway. Fellow skater R (who is not the same person nor even the same gender as choreographer R, though their names are one letter apart) and I had our own little mini Curry session with bits and pieces ( Read more... )

Gaaah! I was just going to play around with a funky narrative form with something low-stakes and fun, and somehow I have a burgeoning epic on my hands. One which is 90% angst. Damn. This is in addition to three other China Beach WIPs that have sprung up in the last couple of weeks ( Read more... )

Pretty sure I'm about to fast-forward through an entire year in the not!drawerfic. Big, bold "One Year Later" and everything, BSG-style. If I do that, I can get to something more conflicty that much sooner, and that big conflicty thing is the climax of the story, so I might actually, you know, finish it this calendar year! The only flaw in my ( Read more... )

My rink opens back up this weekend! I am counting the days. All two days, thirteen hours, and sixteen minutes, in fact. Ahem ( Read more... )
