idle musings

I am angry. I spent two evenings this week at the dojo, first watching the grading and then last night watching the seminar. I am royally pissed off fucking angry that I have to watch people who were white belts when I had already earned my brown belt, approaching the same rank as me and [...]

In the 184 days that I have had this blog, I have posted 178 posts. That is equal to 0.967 posts a day. It’s funny – there are days that go by when I can’t think of anything worth saying, so I say nothing, and then there are the days when I have so much [...]

From Judith Gould’s Too Damn Rich: Taking a long, deep breath of delight, she lowered her mouth and trailed the feathery rip of tongue teasingly along the length of the engorged shaft and then reverentially across the succulent globes of scrotal fruit. Bwahahaha!

The Professor, the highest ranking black belt and founder of my system, flew into Vancouver tonight for the bi-annual grading next week.

Slept in. Had lunch with an old friend. Seriously stuffed my belly. Did one load of laundry. How is it already 3pm? I have a huge to-do list for today and I haven’t got to anything on it! And all I want to do is lie on the couch and read my book… I suppose [...]
