I went with Judy and her husband to see The PGK Project (A Contemporary Dance Company) perform at San Diego State tonight. Now I will proceed to give you the full disclaimer that I am no judge of dance stuff, since I really haven’t been to enough performances or studied enough to know what the hell I’m talking about. I’m purely an unenlightened spectator and am representing that point of view.

Now that said, I really enjoyed it. I know I didn’t need a disclaimer for a positive thought like that. I just feel uncomfortable giving opinions on stuff I don’t know anything about, in fear that a snooty, hoity-toity intellectual, artistic, snob might come out of the shadows to attack me. And I say that only because I know folks like that, and they scare the living crap out of me. So this is one reason why I retreat into my fortress of solitude. Okay.

Anyway, all I can say is I enjoyed it and I admired the hard work and skill that the dancers and choreographers put into it. They were obviously professionals, with resumes 20 miles long… I marvel at how precisely they move their bodies. They move muscles that are invisible to the naked eye in mere mortals. And I wonder…are they really wearing no underwear under those dance pants? Does it bother them? Is it cold?

I loved the piece called “Tantrix”.  It sort of had a rhythm I could relate to on some level. I was also really feeling “I might be falling”. I want to describe but fear my words will not do it service. So I won’t. Sorry…Yeah, I know, why bother blogging, right? Well I just wanted to encourage people to see for themselves. I think they will be performing at SDSU until tomorrow, if what I read on the program is correct. Please check the website for accurate info.

It was fun!!! Well…it was a bit hard to follow…the instructor got sick and left class so her students were teaching it. They knew it to the degree that they just do the movements automatically, but in my opinion, not to the degree that they could effectively teach it to people. Their bodies had that muscle memorization thing going, but it was automatic so their minds and words didn’t break it down to the elements I needed to know to effectively learn it. I did my best. They did things very quickly. I thought it was supposed to be slow… But I enjoyed it enough to be willing to go again.

I noticed that a lot of things that I go to or have any interest in are mainly attended by senior citizens. Not sure what that means…Perhaps I’m ahead of my time…

After the class, I was STARVING. I communicated this to Judy and the rest was a blur. And I had no idea she was taking me to Seafood City in Chula Vista. I would’ve been prepared to order healthy salady foods anywhere else, but SEAFOOD CITY????!!!!!! I didn’t even know Chula Vista had one. There was adobo, tocino, BBQ, turon, pancit, lumpia, sapin sapin, palabok, lechon…the whole fucking pig was there, it’s whole body, all brown and crunchy and delicious, with it’s brown and crunchy snout…MY GOD!!!!!!! MMMYYY GOD!!!!! Fried Pork skins everywhere, the kind with the thick layer of fat still attached!!!! Aaarrrghhhhgablwhblhlhflksa…You’d get a happy heart attack just standing there!

Needless to say, I ordered a plate. With rice. But I held back and got only tocino and BBQ. Yeah all pork. I found the tocino a bit too sweet for my taste. The BBQ was just OK. I ate maybe a fourth of all my food and got rid of the rest. It just wasn’t good enough to completely toss the swweeet sweet progress that Isagenix brought me out the window. Maybe I should have ordered the lechon instead. It was just staring at me, asking to be eaten. But I ignored it. I’m sure I went beyond the “sensible lunch”, but screw it, at least I didn’t eat the whole styrofoam container of food (which I probably should have given to a homeless person). And I think I’m still on track to do well on the Isagenix thing. Ha. It hasn’t even been a week yet. No matter. Onward and upward.

Other weird things on the way home…but later for that…

I just had a poop right now that came from the very depths of my soul.

That’s all I had to say…

Maybe I should count the days normal like they do on the Isagenix calendar, but since I already started off counting the optional pre-cleanse days, I think it’s too late to turn back now. So I’m going to end up with 32 days. Oh well.

I know it’s very typically non-systematic of me to post about this thing before my day has even really started, but I woke up really early this morning and I have an hour to waste before I have to leave to go to Tai Chi class. Why attempt to be systematic? I’m sure if there’s anything important I’ll post it later.

I’m seeing the first effects of the Isagenix thingy. Of course, I am slimmer as expected from not eating anything solid. I also have an eerie amount of energy this early in the morning. I know I’m a morning person, but this is just weird. Also lately my skin has been the worst looking in my entire life. I was resigning myself to the effects of aging. But today…today my skin is looking better again. Amazingly. I notice my skin looks better when I have nothing but liquids. Like when I was addicted to tomato soup. Remember that? My skin was so glowing and radiant. That was just a few weeks ago. So I’m guessing that the foods I consume, the amount of water I drink and the amount of sleep I get make a difference with my skin. I know they tell you this in magazines and health thingies all the freaking time. But it’s quite a powerful thing to notice for yourself.

I had the vanilla flavored shake for the first time this morning. It tastes a lot like horchata. I hereby declare the Isagenix Vanilla shake as the ultimate in delicious Isagenix liquids!! Dun DA DA DUUUNN!!!! Now, I don’t know if it was the hunger from yesterday that made this shake so good. But I looove horchata. I’ll have it again for dinner. It leaves the chocolate in the dust, that’s for sure.

Yesterday, I was hurting before bedtime. I had the heartburn that I get when I don’t eat anything. It was completely gone when I woke up at 5 this morning.

I feel really hyper right now, maybe I should just leave for Tai Chi. The sun just rose so it’s not like I’ll be walking in the dark. Maybe I should try exercising. That’s a thought…

Oooh…just a bit of acid reflux right now…but it was delicious, horchata-tasting acid reflux. It’s like having it all over again…MMM MMMM!!!
