ironymaiden1. what prompted you to start doing the yoga classes, as opposed to just using videos? how did you select the place you're taking the classes?
well, i hadn't really been using the videos for a while...five years ago i had a daily practice, and then after i moved here it came and went. i'm in the process of trying to make my life healthier, both physically and mentally, and i thought that the enforced routine would do me good. (the tipping point was a morning where i discovered that having clean pants available to wear did not actually mean that i could close the fastenings or sit comfortably while wearing them.)
i selected the place i take classes because it's right by my house, has reasonable prices and a distinct intro series. more importantly, it's a local independent business owned by a woman. i only get to have cool businesses in my neighborhood if i spend my money there.
2. how's the letter-writing going these days?
better than it was, but sloooooow. i don't know why, but i stopped being able to write them around the holidays. i carry my portfolio and pen every day, but i continue to have difficulty pulling it out. i make no promises here, but i'm cleaning up loose ends lately, and i expect my pile of replies to be one of them.
3. are you planning on seeing V for Vendetta next week? any guesses as to whether it'll fall victim to the curse of the Alan Moore movie adaptations?
absolutely, especially because it will be playing at the (local, independent) Bay, and i totally have a crush on Hugo Weaving.
i'm not sure exactly what the curse is; LXG was horrid, but i liked From Hell very much. i expect Moore will never like anything that he didn't micromanage (can't blame him). only Frank Miller has had the chance- and while i enjoyed Sin City, i thought its success as a film was less than its success as an exercise in style.
i think V has a shot at being popular and perhaps good. the trailers look promising to me; there are some design choices that underestimate the audience, but i understand why they were made.
4. have you made a doctor's appointment yet?
Wednesday morning.
5. have i succeeded in revivifying what![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bhagwanx refers to as "the meme that will not die"?
if anyone requests that i ask them five questions with the attendant rules, i will not refuse.
