today a whole lotta nothing. it's sunday, the sunday before a big holiday, so most people have to work the weekend in order to 'earn' the full 7 days off starting on tuesday. that's how it works in china. so everyone worked saturday and today and will work tomorrow, then they can have the week off. lame, yeah?
i had high designs to get up this morning and meet people for brunch at 1 pm and go to the cool foreign bookstore with sherry, but my eyes opened at 1:50 pm and then i saw the rain outside. the best i could muster was the 7:15 bikram class and that was it. talked to my sister about how the open house for my condo went and it sounded dismal. cruised craigslist for comparison shopping because we're going to sell off most of my furniture. not too productive.
the friggin yoga studio was SO hot today i couldn't hang. usually i stay after and hang out in shivasana for a while, letting all the 'healing' and crap happen, but it was so hot today that i just got up and bailed when class was over. after a cool shower i was still sweating. fuck the makeup - it woulda just slid off my face anyway - run outside where it's cool. they keep the locker room at about 85 degrees so that doesn't help in the slightest.
you sweat like a bitch in bikram but my problem is the snot. something about the intense heat or the movements make my sinuses release and i'm the snot queen for the next 90 minutes. it's downright embarrassing to be in all these random poses and to have a snot thread connecting your face with the towel. i guess maybe a smarter person would bring in some kleenex or smth but i don't remember to, plus i'm self-conscious about blowing fat wads of shit in a relatively silent room. i shouldn't be - i am in china, after all. people belch and fart openly all the time. i don't know, i just can't bring myself to do it.
cyn came home with 2 boxes of beard papa cream puffs that didn't make it on time to a bbq. i ate one, but didn't do a very good job of trying to finish off the 12 puffs that came home. oh well. $10 of cream puffs down the drain.
heading down to guangzhou on the 7th, about which i am not excited. i'm hoping my friend dave will be down there at the same time so i can at least see one friendly english-speaking face. ugh. when i get back, tho, my godbrother willie should be in town, and that's just gonna be fun. maybe we should have a dinner party.
it's midnight and i'm ready for bed. i've only been awake 9 hours. despicable. must be the pinot.
