Ugly Elf

OK, OK. I haven’t been writing. I’ve been busy, true, though no more busy than normal. I think the bigger problem is I’ve switched off coffee and onto tea. Why you ask? Wait, you don’t care? Well I’ll tell you anyway. Hand shake. No, two words. Not handshake. I literally shake a lot. Don’t know why exactly. But with my favorite past time equilibre, shake is a major problem.

I don’t drink much booze, and never the night before a hand balancing class. I don’t eat sugar, starchy plants, or grains, but I shake like mad all the same. Switching from two cups of coffee (16oz total) in the morning and two cups of tea (again, 16oz total) in the afternoon, to nothing but two cups of tea in the morning has been rough. I’m not going to lie to you. Damn, I love me some wine-of-the-bean.

But as for no writing, that’s the coffee too. I find I’m not creative, my writing is stilted and dull, and I have little urge to commit thought to paper without my good friend Caffeine. It’s sad, and I like to think she misses me as much as I miss her—my mistress of the dark and twitchy.

Anyway, I almost have a post ready that has all the sources I use for information on conditioning. So, you know, that’s exciting. I guess. If that’s what you’re into.

I really want to start getting some book reviews up here. And most exciting, I’ll be traveling in Europe starting in a week, going for almost two weeks. That’s probably what I’ll write about.

Much love (for coffee, not you),
