Was so tired yesterday after 2 hours of pole followed immediately by 4 hours in the office, by the time I got home, I was barely conscious.

Slept for nearly 12 hours - but with a huge production of a dream which had me waking up at intervals.

My back feels really bad. It's been that way for the past week or two. I hope it's just the weather ... and lack of pole.

=(

Duffy - 'Mercy'

Album: Rockferry



This song has some kinda hold on me ...

Anyway, so it occurred to me as I was walking Doggie tonight what (or part thereof) I've been experiencing is separation anxiety. I've gotten attached, and the impending separation is fraught with stress and anxiety for me.

Today the dotted lines were signed, so that's a bit of closure ... I guess, I hope.

Okay. Crash night. I laughed so much last night I was unable to fall asleep - and that too being bone-tired and after taking an Actifed pill.

Great dinner!

I want to rename the Unholy Trinity 'The Kinsey Scale'!

I keep thinking gatherings like these should be recorded for when I'm too old to eat and drink like a champion, and too decrepit to walk and laugh and yak (all at the same time).

Or, the video records could be spliced into a post-millennial 'Reality Bites (For The GLBT & Straight Alike)' of sorts.

Then I'd be able to look back and laugh my ass off, as I had tonight.

If I were old enough, I might even be able to die laughing.

Literally.

Had a terrible sleep last night because I had scary dreams which had me trying to avoid being mauled by a bunch of tigers, then getting tricked and rough-handled by someone I was too trusting towards, and finally trying to keep from falling into the river as I crossed from the pier to a vessel.

Still, I had no recollection of waking up with a heavily thudding heart even though I do remember the dreams and my waking up at some point.

Sigh.

=(

Gimme pole!

GR (EVP of Ops) dropped by our office today, being in town for some training our other local offices needed. He shook my hand, said, "I've heard a lot about you."

I didn't think much of it until my colleague (yes, the same one) finally told me why the CNHK MD had been talking about me to GR. But she didn't say what he'd talked about.

Bah! I stand by my previous opinion: Buncha fishwives!

Good holiday. All I did was sit around and watch videos, and drink (instant) coffee.

Watching Hum Tum and KKHH for the umpteenth time, I figured if there's one thing that'd make me wanna marry (a guy) and hold a wedding - while simultaneously putting me off those things - it'd've to be Bollywood.

And the reason I watch Bollywood - besides beautiful people, beautiful clothes, beautiful songs, and WTF-dance sequences - is prolly the same one that makes Twilight so popular. (I'm guessing, because I've never read the series nor watched the movie - all I did was read why it might be so popular, and that rang really true for me during my pre-teen and adolescent years.)

Best find of the day:



I love Ms. Cho's tats! Have been thinking of visiting Alex again.

Hmm ...

Pole! From 16:30 to 19:45! How totally awesome is that? (Granted, I might not be able to climb outta bed tomorrow, and/or walk like I'm a decrepit centenarian - still ...)

I really wish I could Felix when I grow up ... even though I quite doubt she's entirely human ...

If she's gonna be doing Zumanity in Vegas, I want a front row seat!



Felix has set the bar pretty damn high ...

Sarah McLachlan - 'Ice Cream'

Album: Mirrorball



This song's been in my head lately. I think it began with rewatching a bit of Better Than Chocolate - by accident, I might add - which, of course, was named for the song. That was almost immediately followed by finding myself listening to SY sing it at her wedding dinner.

She apparently loved this song, so she not only sang it at the wedding dinner to her husband, she had her bridesmaids put it as a 'task' in the 'traditional' list of usually-embarrassing stunts the groom and his entourage of 'brothers' had to pull to be allowed into the bride's home.

That struck me as ... ironic - because of something'd told me.



Finished re-reading A Zen Romance ... for the Goddess-knows-how-many-times since 1999. I find that it calms me down, and helps me deal with change and moving - a bit like This Place Has No Atmosphere which, alas, I'd outgrown (a little).

Album: Rockferry



Today, I was seized by a sudden fit of impulse: I was so, so, so tempted to send in an order for a 45mm chrome X-Pole.

It's only AUD 550 (including shipping) from X-Pole Australia whereas Kiwi Pole Fitness (in Lower Hutt) is retailing only the 50mm - and at NZD 890 and NZD 990 for the chrome and titanium respectively!

Okay, so I have one more reason to drop by SYD: Pick up an X-Pole.

I want one so bad it's not even funny ... =(

But the disappointing lack of a proper sturdy ceiling/beam keeps me from owning my dream 45mm, as well as a 50mm (I believe in mastering the international standard width).
Bad case of diarrhea last night and today. Must be the instant pasta I made. Or the instant hot chocolate.

Or both. =/ Had a terrible sleep, of course, waking up at some god-forsaken hour with a really, really, really bad tummy-ache.

The boss, having flew in from SYD yesterday afternoon, told me today that I ought to visit that city as it's just beautiful. He suggested I drop by for a few days en route to AKL; I told him it's not on the way. He scoffed and said I and "dearly beloved" (his words - that's what he's taken to calling her) could have a little holiday there.

Well, never say never - but if I were ever to drop by SYD, it'd be for at least one of a few things: Bobbi's Pole Studio, Mardi Gras, or someone I really miss.

I think I might be over the melt-down ... for now. The smear of residue of which still remains is a mixture of reluctance and your basic recipe for stress.



On a completely different topic, I have a theory: Whatever song Linna does a choreo to, I think it'll become my next earworm.

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I'll head off to NZIS to get my visa endorsed.


This song makes me wanna dance. Even though I'm physically exhausted and achey like an old woman and need sleep like a baby, I feel ... like dancing.

Song's just so damn perky!

It's been a really short weekend - short, as in I don't feel like I've had enough rest - yet it was really quite fun too.

Had the last of my workshops today, so no more official classes anymore. Sigh ...

=(
