first bruises, cold sugar

Newbie rollerderby tip:
When you're doing falling drills, and some might have you sliding on your hip fairly often, it's a good idea to remember to take your big carabiner full of keys out of your side pocket first. D'oh!

Good practice. Had a delicious pint of beer after and went to bed plum tuckered out before midnight. There's something I really enjoy about intentional physical exhaustion and the kind of sleep it tends to net over just emotional exhaustion or other weird stress.
Haven't gotten used to doing yoga on toe stops.
Needneedneed new skates, with silly perks like adjustable trucks and bearings that actually move.
I should be able to do real, live push-ups someday soon.


...Should I make a 'derby filter?

The extension cord inspectors never showed before S4 had to go to work. Big surprise, there.

I've been really into iced coffee lately, except that it's nearly impossible to dissolve my favorite sweet things into it. Yesterday I ended up with my whole crunchy packet of raw sugar on the bottom of my glass, today I was reminded that honey turns into a high viscosity mess if you get it cold.
Oh well. Still yummy. The supercutiepie of a barista girl who sometimes works in the morning, in addition to being a supercutiepie also always remembers that I like soy, which makes me happy.

Low Orbit got Speak 'n' Glitch accepted to a different comp cd via mnartists.org. Yeeeeaaah!
Looking forward both to rehearsal tonight and to playing out again.

Yeah, downward-dog is weird and partially ineffective for me on skates, actually. I'm flexible enough now that, especially being warmed up, I can get my heels on the floor. If I'm on toe-stops, I don't get a stretch in my legs and it just becomes a shoulder workout. The downward-dog with leg lifted up is way easier without a couple pounds of skate back there, but again, it's weird, since one of the points of lifing up that back leg is to get your heel on the other leg closer to or flat on the floor- and you can't do that with a toe stop there. I should ask trixie how to modify that for me, or something.
