specialist

for the last 4 years, i've been trying to go to the banff film festival world tour. i used to go to that event every year and i love it a great deal. it inspires me a lot. 3 years ago (four? 2010), i missed it because we went to see rock plaza central's last live concert in toronto instead. the following year i was too slow in buying tickets and it was sold out (so i 'made' brendan watch the first three twilight movies back to back. which almost single handedly ruined the twilight book series for me), last year it fell on a sunday so i couldn't go because of living room. but this year. THIS YEAR it's on a saturday and we have our tickets. we're all set. b has never been and doesn't fully understand why i love this event so much. no matter, he'll need to experience for himself and draw his own conclusions. it's still a week from this saturday, but i'm excited.

yoga yesterday was SO GOOD! it's been far too long since i did yoga and i really loved it. the poses came really naturally to me as though i'd done them recently. i talked to the instructor, who was really nice, in her 60s and had some kind of accent that i couldn't peg, and she said 'if something doesn't feel right, don't do it'. since i'm not very big, not even showing exactly, it was easy and comfortable to do everything. last night was the free trial night, and starting next week is a paid 10 week session. i think i'll sign up, then after the 10 weeks (which should take me up til our trip in march), i'll start an actual prenatal class. yogi master jackie (this title is less amusing to me than my previous 'yogi master dennis') said that prenatal classes do specific things to help prepare for childbirth, and i think i want to get in on that action. i spent the rest of the evening feeling good in my body and went home to gobble down one of my favourite dinners cooked for me by my favourite household cook :)

i threw up this morning before work. it was kind of gross and funny at the same time because i'd had a glass of tomato juice so when i threw up it was all red and looked like blood :S

you can soothe my mind with your silence.
