Ya, mon

Reggaefest at Pitzer last night was most certainly a success.  Hammocks make everything better.  Also, I may or may not be in the market to purchase a longboard.  More on this to come.

I sit up straight with considerable difficulty because every muscle in my back, shoulders, legs, arms, stomach, neck, etc etc etc etc hurts.  I'm learning that Graham work is exhausting due to the sheer muscularity of her choreography.  "If it doesn't burn, you're not doing it right!" was something I heard many times in yesterday's rehearsal.  Even when I'm standing in one spot on stage, I'm not relaxed.  It's not enough just to stand.  I have to live and breathe and exist in space and be completely, acutely aware of that existence.  That, in the context of rehearsals, translates into using every muscle in my body at pretty much all times.  I woke up in a lot of pain this morning, and I LOVE IT.

The countdown to March starts now :)
