Practiced with Noah & Kimberly yesterday. I met Amanda while I was there. Amanda is a fellow ashtanga blogger who is leaving for Mysore next month for 3 months. I saw her before practice in the hallway and introduced myself. We spoke briefly and went straight to practice. We didn't get to talk after practice because I left right after practice. It was nice to meet her because now I can read her blog and put a face on it. Now I regret not meeting the Encinitas/San Diego bloggers. I had a great practice at Noah's yesterday. I always do. I think it's because of the energy in the room and the fact that I have to pay $15 per class. The room was packed and every body is so focused. It's funny when you pay per class; you tend to be psychologically more focus. There's no room for slacking because it you do, you've just wasted $15. When you pay monthly you tend to occasionally slack because you're already paid for the month and you always have another day. It sounds stupid but it's true for me.
I finally decided to go monthly with Jorgen. I actually like the room better. It's quiet since the windows face away from the street. The advantage of not getting to shower after practice is having to shower before practice. Taking a shower before practice really wakes up all the muscles. The first few vinyasas is much easier. Ideally, I should shower before and after each practice. Maybe I should stop by the Westwood recreational center and take a shower before I head to work. It's something I have to consider.
This weekend, I watched the movie “Bowling in Columbine�. I've heard so much about the movie that I finally decided to watch it. I really regret not watching it earlier. It's a really a good movie and it makes you really think. I guess that's why it took me so long to watch it. Normally when I watch movies I don't want to think. I tend to go to brainless movies with good endings. It's a little shallow but I just want to be entertained and the shallow movies are more entertaining. Anyway, it was a great movie and I'm looking forward to watching “9/11�. I also need to find the time to watch “Super size�. They talked a lot about it while I was in the Optimum Health Institute but I couldn't get myself to watch it because I was in the middle of a detox. I should find the time to watch it.
