Wed July 26, 2000 - 2:10pm (143lbs, not bad considering I'm pre-menstrual)


Ok so I've just finished doing my first Yoga class in like two years.  Jesus christ I'd forgotten how hot and sweaty you get in those classes.  Actually it was really good, a little tough, but really good.  Some of the positions I could not do and some I found quite eas, of course they'll be the ones that resemble a position you get in when having a good shag....so I know those!!!  My only problem was at the end of the class when the teacher (Jacquie I think she's called) reads out her 'peace passage' for the day which I'm assuming says something like "be nice to people, lead a blind man across the street, don't be angry with yourself, love yourself:, you know the usual crap that they come out with.  Anyway she was doing this as we were all lying there in our "inner peace' mode and all you can hear is the builders in one of the squash courts knocking complete shit out of a wall or at least it sounded like that.  So the 'inner peace tranquility, feel at one with yourself' situation wasn't quite happening.....know what I mean???

However apart from the noise and the fact that I am not at one with myself (come on I'm from Manchester), it was good, I enjoyed myself, although I hate it when I get so red compared to everyone else just looking nice and bronzed and lean.  I have a skin condition you see called Acne Rosacea, which means that under lots of circumstances I go bright red, in fact it's my capillaries (apparently) under my skin that burst, therefore making me go a lobster colour if I go into saunas, eat hot food, drink alcohol, run, skip, have sex etc.  Basically anything that makes my heart race....pathetic isn't it, but there you go, that's what happens.   Yes it is embarrassing and I hate it because people always stare at me like I'm demented...jesus I'm only red, it's not like I've turned into Godzilla.  Anyway there you go, something personal from me that I hate to mention because it's crap....

The girl that talked me into going Luzia (from Brazil, yes she is a babe lads but very very married with baby) is exceptionally good at it.  She did this handstand straight from the middle of the floor, didn't even have a wall to leverage herself from...very impressive.  Where as I, aaargh please, lumberingly trying to throw my legs from behind me up against this wall, of course I kept falling down in a heap, thank god we only did this for a few minutes, maybe I should practice.  My next class is on Friday at 1pm, think I'll go....

I was supposed to go out for a late lunch with my pal Buddy Weiser this afternoon, he rang before from the Upper East Side to see if I was still on.  To be honest though I have stuff to do today, the weather's crap and I KNOW if I see him, we'll have a little drinky and then it will just continue from there.  Anyhow we're all out tomorrow night so we can wait until then to get completely lagered (that's a British term for when your drinking lots of lager (beer) you get LAGERED!!)

So Morpheus and his team were schmoozing some clients in Delaware today, I guess it's nice for him to get out of the city for a day.  Anyway he's just called (2:55pm), he's on the train coming back, short and sweet I guess, let's hope it's all worked out well.  So the dozy bugger left his keys this morning, but it doesn't matter as I'm not going anywhere for a while.  So when everyone gets off the train and heads back to the office, HE'S going to walk towards it, then make a sneaky little detour to the subway and come home.....naughty naughty!!

So I guess he'll be home earlier than expected....what shall we do with ourselves????????????    I'll get back to you lot tomorrow.

P.S. Hi to my new friend in Arkansas, in answer to your question look back to June 16, you should be able to figure it out.....
