the artist's life

Yesterday I returned to doing hot-yoga again. (Bikram Yoga). I had so missed it, and so I am blaming my abundant enthusiasm for that pain in my lower back and hips. I was so excited...I actually did a back-bend far enough to look out the back windows. I guess you could say I felt pretty darn cool (or hot..)

I have registered to take an online Shakespeare class. I know, I know. The name is even "Virtual Shakespeare." Ridiculous. But, once again necessity has won over, and I find myself in need of some British literature credits in preparation for my Fall teaching-licensure program. But, before you pa-shaw me to much, I would like to point out that a cool girl who works with me at Starbucks has decided to join me...so we will read the plays and then get together before work, sip espresso, and be all intellectual-like. We met yesterday for the first time, and it was a blast!

So I have been having a kind of artsy life lately. I had a photo shoot for a gig I have coming up on Thursday at Cannon Mine Coffee Co. in Lafayette. That was weird and fun at the same time.
Then I went to see Jamie Cullum, this amazing young British chap who is little and grunge and, well, scrappy at a small theater in Denver. Probably one of the best performances I have ever seen. Incredible. You gotta check him out. I have been writing a lot lately, and then you add reading and discussing A Midsummer Night's Dream, and well, I like my life.
