An elegant weapon for a more civilized age

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age

Morning, y’all. Happy Tuesday.  I’m awake, the cats are both in the living room, and there’s a chance we might have some sunshine today.  It’s a good start.

Well, it’s good from where I’m sitting, anyway.

Knickknack is in a shoe box, growling at anyone who makes eye contact with her. And anyone else who crosses her field of vision. Or sometimes just randomly, because she hates that she’s a demon trapped in a chonky, elderly cat body.

It’s really, REALLY pissing off my mother.

I did a workout yesterday, which felt good after a week of not moving at all. It’s not the crazy, 2-hour body blasts that I used to do. I miss those, but I don’t have the strength to do that right now.

My newest LED prop came in on Saturday afternoon, a LED staff. After my disappointment in my attempts with the contact staff I bought at the same time, I was very worried that I’d COMPLETELY wasted my money on this one. However, this one is lighter, and properly sized. OMG I’m in love.

Will it replace my poi? Doubtful. Is it FUCKING AMAZING? Fuck yeah. As much as we all made jokes about my “weird New York cousins” for their Jedi cosplays, it’s hella fun and a good workout in the dark.

My biggest worry, other than having the same problems as the contact staff, was flexibility problems, since I have a bit of a problem with my left shoulder. Surprisingly enough, I’m actually better with the left side.

So today, I practice on the right.
