fajrdrako | Some days feel good for no reason....

I'm tired. About to meditate and go to bed.

Best thing today: getting back to doing yoga in the morning with Aliya. When I arrived at her apartment at 8.04 a.m., she gave me the choice as to whether we'd do yoga or Quigong. I chose yoga, of course. Yoga is my thing.

It felt great.

Lunchtime: I went to the fitness club and spent twenty minutes on a cycling machine, reading and rereading a page of biblical Esperanto. I embarrassed myself yesterday in e-mail to

acampbell, quoting, or maybe misquoting, the Bible in Latin ("In principium Deus creavit....") and then trying to say the same thing in Esperanto and getting my vowels totally screwed up. There's nothing worse than trying to show off some language and getting it totally wrong. What an idiot.

So: penance. I printed out the first chapter (unua cxaptro) of Genesis (Genezo) and read it over and over until it was easy and I could follow it without stumbling. "En komenco Dio kreis caelon kaj teron." - I think. I think. Damn, why aren't languages easier? And since I love 'em so much, why don't I have more skill with them? Or something resembling a memory?

When I got home, I cleaned out my refrigerator. I hate that job.

Bought a beautiful pile of comics at the Silver Snail today: suddenly there seems to be a lot of good Batman comics on the market. Including one by Warren Ellis (yay!) and one by Jeph Loeb.

Didn't read though. Cleaned the refrigerator instead. Ugh. I deserve a treat in recompense, like maybe going to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the weekend. What a nice idea.
