Genki Ka?

Since I publically outed myself as being completely beyond the likes of any civizled American person when I admitted my ignorance of Led Zeppelin, my email box has been getting nice little song suggestions.. My friend told me to listen to Kasmir but I was saving that for another time based on his recommendation. Someone recommended the Rain Song, the Always Goes On Song (I have no idea what their real names are)... but the iPod shuffle setting picked Misty Mountain something and I have to say, wow, that's the song of the week! The Husband was laughing at me tonight as he heard me playing it. I had played All Of My Love in the car this afternoon and was surprised, for what reason I don't know, when he was singing along to it. I sometimes forget that my husband is nearly 10 years older and this is the stuff he grew up on... long haired, skateboarding, OP-wearin' 70s dude. He was telling me stories about his older brother (now a partner at a very very large international law firm) was totally into Led Zeppelin when they were younger. He's finding it relatively funny to be hearing all this Led Zeppelin from his "hate all the hippy shit" wife. He mentioned that he wouldn't be surprised if he started hearing Neil Young (I think that's who he said) and the Crosby, Stills people....


In asana notes, I was thinking today how the last 3 or 4 times I've done bakasana I've felt relatively okay in it. After dinner I was standing by the table while The Husband finished and I was doing Bakasana. I realized that it actually doesn't feel horrible to do it anymore but I really cannot figure out how to jump out of it. No one ever talks about it because, well, everyone can usually do it.. but I can't. I don't get it.


I'm in such denial about "going back to work" on Monday (that's tomorrow) that I haven't even packed. This means that at 6am I will be running late, then I'll be stressed which will impact my practice. Reason # 3245252352 why the office sucks. I am truly whining on and on about it, aren't I? Well the answer hasn't popped itself in front of my blind eyes yet... Actually I hope the studio is open at 6:30... that would really suck if it weren't.

Yes.
Genki Ka.
I was thinking about you in the way in to work this morning.
Lets make plans.

plugging in the ipod now for a day of data analysis under the influence of My Led Zep box set......

Have you tried old Doors like Soft Parade?

Or

....Hendrix?!?!?

I'd be happy to share both with with you.

EXHALE...JUMP! Push down through both hands, send feet out the back.....xSMN

Yes, another vote for The Rain Song. It should sound familiar from yoga classes of yore. Perhaps there's musical hope for you yet!
