Give me some advice?
About anything. Lay some wisdom on me.
Bullet-less.
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but based on my Twitter feed, I guess Madonna and Clint Eastwood flipped off Giselle Bundchen and then made out with a Fiat? Close enough.
I can’t find any yoga Tumblrs with content other than pictures of people doing advanced poses. I’d start one of my own, but, feh.

As of right now, I’m preoccupied by:
1. Ballet (YOU GUYS EVERY BALLET EVER IS ON YOUTUBE. IT IS GLORIOUS.)
2. Determining the astrological signs of my favorite fictional characters (I’ve got everyone in The Lord of the Rings pinned down.)
3. Fitness (…My god, what have I become?)
4. A&E reality shows (How do the people on Intervention not know they’re on...

whltexbread asked: Finally, isn't it a reasonable assumption to make that because it's set in the past, that their intention is for the young ladies to make the inference that things are different now, because of strong ladies in the past that have changed things for them, and perhaps spark their interest in finding out about such things? Or am I just being a dumb sexist boy?
Keeping up with my self-imposed duty to blather on...
The new trailer for Pixar’s Brave kind of bums me out. Now, it’s Pixar, so I’m still confident that it’ll be good (and they have a history of releasing mediocre trailers), but it would’ve been nice if a studio that’s known for creative and original storytelling had decided to do something more interesting with their first female protagonist (in SIXTEEN YEARS)...

(via The ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Trailer is Here with Four New Character Posters | Rope of Silicon)
I posted about the dueling Snow White movies a few months ago, and now a teaser trailer’s come out for the other one, Snow White and the Huntsman—and it’s actually decent, to my pleasant surprise. I’m sure it’ll be still be over-the-top and cheesy,...

A PDF file of a short story that won the Hugo Award. If you know anything about Sherlock Holmes or H. P. Lovecraft, you may enjoy this. If you don’t, it’ll probably be incomprehensible twaddle.
If you know me at all, you know that a story combining Holmes and Lovecraft is something I might as well have ordered from a Things That Make Me Rapturous catalog. Go read this.

rartastic replied to your post: Meditation: A Practical Guide. By me, Theresa, who is totally qualified to do this sort of thing.
Do you mind if I share this with my classes tomorrow? It’s very well said, and we’re talking about meditation anyway.
Not at all! And thanks :)

I was chatting with a friend about meditation, which is a thing I do, and she liked how I explained it and said I should write about it here. I haven’t posted anything of substance in, um, a while, so that seemed like a swell idea.
I’m occasionally reluctant to talk about doing yoga and meditation because people can be dismissive of it—and for good reason, since on one side...

“She smiled, and I saw how anxious she was to pretend everything was back to...”
– Theresa Couchman, The Unmapped Lands Part Three
If you’re not purchasing this amazing book that Theresa is writing and reading it, then you are, simply put, insane.
It’s a fantasy, and the best mark of good fantasy writing is that it is grounded by a reality with real feelings and emotions, like...

“I was a bear for a while. I wanted to know what hibernation was like and lost...”
– Couchman, Theresa (2011). The Unmapped Lands Part One
I finally finished my in-progress fiction due to this fucking cold, so I downloaded the first part of Theresa’s book (after downloading the Kindle for Mac app since I have no devices) and I’m already engaged and laughing out loud to myself...

Annie knew the driver was dead before the bus stopped rolling. She had seen, in the split second before she’d shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around her head, the man’s hefty bulk slam into the windshield as the metal frame of his protective cage crumpled around him. She pressed her fingers against his thick neck anyway, trying not...

zicklepop asked: Re: The Wait. I took my Kindle to the local Starbucks tonight, through the storms and wind. It was dark out and as your story introduced the dark figures people would start to walk outside the glass walls of the shop. I would see out of the corner of my eye dark figures. Each time I would turn my head to make sure they were real people. Oh man did that make the experience so much fun. (Glad you...
