Random Wednesday – Yoga

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Yoga? Pppfftt I can do that in my sleep! No wait, I can’t. And I know that for a fact cause last week I was ‘talked into’ going to a class. It wasn’t just any yoga, it was heated yoga.  One of those ‘we’ll make you uncomfortably hot, and you’ll be doing crazy moves while balancing on one leg.” Never really took yoga seriously as a form of exercise, ’til now that is!  It wasn’t a ‘push yourself to the limit’ class, and my muscles weren’t really aching the day after, but did it ever feel good! All the tension from my shoulders went away, my neck didn’t hurt and my toes finally got warm. Mmmm… warm toes only happen in saunas and heated yoga rooms apparently! It was so good that I got a month pass, and already went four times this week. Let’s just say that I’m a bit better with my one legged balance, but no where close to reaching my toes yet.

It’s May already, did anyone notice how March and April have come and gone? Almost half a year has passed by too. Incredible! One day it’s cold, another everything is green and tulips are flowering. It also seems like nothing is really happening and I’m not doing much. But then when you look back and list all the things you’ve done, it seems like a lot. Strange, very strange.

For those who’d like to see what DSRL looks like in an open state here are some photos. My Nikon has been opened twice already and nothing is physically broken, but it still misses things up. Time to take it to the service center so they can run software tests. Eh… big bills here I come.

Today I [heart] – Globe Trotting

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

To pick up and leave and travel, wouldn’t it be nice? It doesn’t take much persuading to have me go see new places, experience different cultures, and do what I really enjoy. No need to ask me twice. Pack light, have a very sexy camera, and a bag to keep it all, that’s all I need.

Random Wednesday – Wants and Needs

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
  • Every so often I get this weird desire to buy more camera gear; some things I need, some not so much. It usually happens when the same lens keeps surfacing on different parts of the interwebs, and it’s always painted in glorious colours, and I can’t help but want it. So I’m putting my girly foot down, and telling this lovely Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 (or f/2D -haven’t decided yet) that I will not sway and get it! NO, LENS, NO! If someone is booking me for a photo shoot in the next 2 weeks, your money is buying me this lens! That’s the only condition under which I’m falling into that consumer trap! Why can’t I be like other ladies and drool over pretty dresses, shoes, jewelry and frequent manicures! Apparently my priorities are shifted towards the geeky gadget side…
  • I’m also starting a six month gym challenge with a friend, mainly since I figured sitting in front of the computer all day is not good for anyone, and I need more structure to my day. I think he is already winning, cause I’m yet to go and get a gym membership! I kind of missed my regular workout schedule in the past year, but so not looking forward to the first week! Oh the muscle pain, here I come! Should I do the whole before and after shots? It’ll be bony vs. bony, but could be fun.
  • Here is some colour to keep you winter blues free. It might look warm, but it was well below zero at -15C.
