i’m back from new york — came back last night, popped in to my place to drop luggage and facetime with larson for 3 minutes. went to a birthday party where the swing of a pinata bat broke the pinata and also a mirror. glass everywhere. later, a girl who was a stranger came into the room and started probing everyone’s life. she just kept swinging with one after another...

drill sergeant
we haven’t been lifting so much because of conflicting schedules. our main climbing muscles are in good shape though - my shoulders are getting kinda big. peter and i “love” overhangs.  i had a little fun torturing cindy tonight because i’m not-so-secretly a sadist: incline dumb bell bench press single leg split squat bicycle crunch burpee jack knife sit up weighted...

estringsgstrings replied to your post: privilege Ugh. I want to suggest you write more, but I’d rather you have no reason to write this. Take care of yourself. The good news is, you’re probably going to kick ass at jiujitsu. i feel the same way about your writing lately too - including the wish that you didn’t have a reason to write a lot of what you’ve written. but i find it brave...

i figured out what to do about this message...
estringsgstrings answered you: What do you think about the Washington Post article “The new domesticity: Fun, empowering or a step back for American women?” (11/25/11) It seems like you’re totally into the domestic activities they talk about in the article!

privilege
i’m going to my first jiujitsu/self-defense class tomorrow. jiujitsu was recommended to me because the starting spar position is on the back. the doorman across the street and i used to be friendly in passing. once, he helped me hail a cab. but last week, he crossed the street to talk to me, gave me a hug, then asked about the food i smelled like. it probably wasn’t a freudian slip...

on being tired
i think i kicked up the “i’m a second semester 3L with tons of time to exercise!” thing too quickly - feeling like i’m run over by a truck right now. last week, i went to the rock gym three times, ran 18 miles (one of which was an 8+ mile run), and lifted; the week before, i lifted multiple times, went to yoga, did a bunch of running. i haven’t taken a real rest day...

happy lunar new year!
it’s the year of the dragon. wear red today.  psa to the strippers that follow me: you guys should celebrate and make sure your customers know it’s chinese new year! because the most important tradition of chinese new year is getting money! all joking aside, i wanted to go home this year (as i do every year) but no time - the new year crept up on me. at least i called my parents!
