NYT and the Star Wars Kid
Wow, neat. The New York Times just published
an article on Ghyslain, the Star Wars Kid. He's quoted as still wishing that the video had never been released. How sad. Sad for him, sad for every asshole who mocked him, and sad that the ratio of cruelty-to-applause is backwards. This geeky kid practicing his moves with such joyful sincerity is a delight to behold.
Geek pride, man.
On the moving-awkwardly-yet-joyfully front, I start my first yoga class soon. Made special arrangements to get a couple private lessons first so I don't up-fuck my hip any further. And the teacher specializes in yoga for rounder women, so there won't be that nasty competitive I'm-more-pretzely-than-you-are thing, I hope.
Pain report: Ow (up a notch from ow). If you haven't guessed that I'm on muscle relaxants by the writing yet, you don't know me very well.
Media report: Also saw
Identity this weekend. Still trying to suss out how it managed to get good reviews. Completely forgettable flick.
