Okay, Ow!

Since I no longer can afford the drive to belly dancing classes, I've decided to try yoga again. I've taken yoga classes before, but not like this.

You see, the yoga I'm used to is more focused on the stretching and the flexibility. This? I can do. I'm reasonably flexible, and given a couple weeks of stretching, usually things don't hurt (as much).

The class I took last night? Involved muscles. Like strength exercises. Now, let's get one thing clear: I have no upper body strength. None. So if you put me in a position where I have to support my weight with my arms? It ain't happenin', folks. It's just not.

Though oddly enough, it's the insides of my legs that feel wubbly this morning.

I have also warned my instructor that if she hears someone scream in pain during the downward facing dog, it's probably me. My first reaction to that position is always "I hate this."

Because OW! And did I mention I have no upper body strength?

Project Still Life Recap continues

Good afternoon, sports fans! Well, it's Thursday, so that must mean that I went to the LoC after work. Today's viewing was a bit of a challenge, as everyone was around and wanted to hang out right by my viewing station to chat.

And when they weren't chatting at my viewing station, they were being very boisterous a few cubicles over.

On the plus side, though, Geo has a co-worker who is a fellow admirer of Mr. Ackles. At first, I wasn't sure if she was a Dean fan or a Jensen fan, but it appears that while undeniably being a Dean fan, she most assuredly appreciates the finer points of a younger Jensen. So she joined me for a few minutes of viewing.

Sadly, today's ep was not all that Jensen-heavy. On the upside of this, it means that this ep will be fairly easy to transcribe (famous last words) when the time comes.

But between the Jensen-light and the audible distractions in the office, my brain was not able to concentrate as per usual.

So please forgive me that it might take an extra day to make sense of my discombobulated notes. Because what was there? Was gooooooood.

In other news, how much do I love Jensen? So very, very much. He continues to give Max an uncertainty of his place while simultaneously conveying the need to protect his sister(s). (He's got more scenes with Emily in this one, and I do so love them together.) He mixes vulnerability (with Maggie) with strength (when protecting Emily), and as open and extroverted as he plays Dean (and Alec), he's quite the opposite with Max. Max is a quiet man, a man of few words, and everything he says and does has purpose. I love Jensen's portrayal of Max.
