Amazing



In case it doesn't show up, clicky.

I wrote just over 2k words. Am still highly impressed with self for maintaining an above 1k average for 13 days now *nods*.

I have another week and a half of freedom to write as and when I need to. It's been bliss those past few weeks. That time is coming to an end, though, as DB is going to start travel again week after next. It has pros and cons, of course. I'll miss him being around all the time. I won't miss having to cook for four people with three different tastes, let alone cooking meat. I won't miss having twice as much washing-up/cleaning either. So, I guess that although I'll have to rearrange my times of writing, it won't necessarily be less time for writing.

I detest routine, which translates for me into ritual. Yes, I'm very aware that I frequently fall for it, so I guess it's a good thing that stuff is changing again. That way, I won't get stuck in routine. I fall into its trap because I was conditioned to it throughout childhood and early-ish adulthood. And it's one heck of a task to uncondition routine. After all, it's around us, wherever we look. But it is so liberating to free yourself from it, it's worth every effort.

Absolutely friggen amazing! I bet they have trained for this since before they could even walk. The strength in her legs and the males arms was breathtaking.

Thanks for sharing.

Love Sonia :)

*nods* I can't even begin to imagine how hard such training must be... But watching them is breathtaking.

That video was simply amazing. But I've decided I need to learn German, lol...

Are you vegitarian? And, yes, routines can be very evil..

LOL Nothing particularly pertinent was said except where and when they were touring Germany. :)

Yes, I stopped eating meat many years ago, and although I still eat some fish occasionally, it's been less and less lately.

Knowing how hard it is to stand en pointe on the floor - i cannot imagine how hard it is to stand on someone's head and do a pirouette - incredible

I agree. They look almost supernatural.

I think I took maybe one breath that entire video. Amazing.

Incredible video! I could hardly believe what I was seeing! My problem with getting out of routine is that I tend to never get anything done. But, of course, I enjoy a lazy day or two once in a while.

I keep watching it because it looks so... almost unreal.

I've always thought routine is highly overrated, lol. But I know it's very different when you have a job that requires regular hours.

My life is so routine now that it thoroughly messes with my head when I don't have to go to my second job *L* This'll be my second weekend off in a row, and i hardly know what to do with myself!

*nods* I know what you mean. I used to work for money, and after an 80 hour week, I was utterly lost for the w/end.
