Reading "Ganesh Goes to Lunch" and drinking hot cocoa.
Note to self: when coconuts and clarified butter (ghee) are their own food groups, you needn't worry 'bout body image. Things are gonna be allllll riiiiiight 😉
I'm in love with my best friend, partner in crime, and roommate. He makes me one of the lucky ones. I love you, Michael Roike. I'm so glad you're mine 🙂
Making a list of things that I love whilst here in India became daunting (who has that much paper?). To whittle the list down a bit, we'll feature the letter "C".

Halfway mark.
I love a good advice column. This is strikingly sound.

Signs of the times: I want to see "American Reunion" and "Titanic" in 3D.
Ahhh! Lucky bar!!! <3 <3 <<3

I made chocolate almond flour pancakes today for lunch. One heckuva paleo treat 🙂
Two hours of yin, shirtless on the roof. Yum.
Fascinating reading 'round the blogosphere about krounchasana.
The part that thought would be of greatest interest was the release of insulin.

Paleo: India Edition -- Day 1? Success. Morning of day 2 feels awesome.
According to this substantial study recently published in Psychological Science, "lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology.". As the Daily Mail summarises, right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers.

Tomorrow, I attempt to be (mostly) paleo in India. We'll give it a week and see what happens.
What do you do on your off days? Oh, well, I watch yoga asana instead of perform it. What do you do?

The gentleman rockin' the slackline at the Super Bowl's Half Time Show has an awesome demo reel. It makes me anxious just watching it. Pretty powerful.

After my big adventures this morning, I treated myself to a massage. Here's what we can learn from the science of massage. Pain, patterns, and Samskaras.

Received an amazing 2 hour massage today. Oily bliss. Ravi was awesome. Thanks for posting this @[1515753:2048:Clare]! She has his number!

Today, I walked my hands in from a dropback (backbend) and caught hold of my ankles. Then I straightened my arms. Never have I ever.
By the time I get back from practice the big game will be over (unless we have overtime!). Can someone give me a link to the Super Bowl so that I can watch it from the beginning?

Sweets on Saturday leads to stiffness on Sunday. Never expect one day's work to be the next's. Paleo challenge after the moonday? #mysore
I have to be up at 3am. Sleep must come.
A lazy, late morning filled with cold cafe americano, new music from Madonna, and comfy/sexy yoga pants. You can almost see the smile, right?
Navigating Mysore City is a daunting task. Fear not, with a copilot like Antonella, I fared well. The haul? A stove-top coffee maker, fisherman's pants, and "gym vests" (aka 4 bright and shiny tank tops) in hand. A warning: I am going to come home dressed like a yogi (I have a custom pair of 3/4 length pants being made). I am not done.
I realize that art isn't always created by well adjusted, goodhearted individuals... but is it okay to purchase that art if you know the money goes to line the coffers of a bigot? A hate instilling advocate of injustice?
Oh, led primary, how I love you.
@[567436846:2048:Mike] nails it-- without the hubris that normally comes from one of my soapboxy Groupon stumps. A good read!

@[5106089:2048:Victoria Paterson Shade] said it better than I could: "All right, this Susan G. Komen Foundation vs. Planned Parenthood thing has not been fun to watch, but this latest news that Komen is breaking their own supposed policy to give $7.5 million to Penn State in spite of their own federal investigation just takes the cake. Komen, wouldn't it be easier to just admit you're a conservative organization, incorporate that into your mission, and go about your goals more legitimately? I bet there are a lot of conservatives out there who would donate to your BECAUSE you're conservative. This PR storm is just a mess."

Be awake for life 🙂
January 2012
New apartment, new start time, new month. I've never been so excited for February in my whole life. #mysore
Lesson: You can not expect to shirt to end up white if the water starts out brown. #laundry #mysore #santosha #justwearit
A quick little gratitutde check list: 1) Anto is here! (!!!) 2) Roikes 3) My start time is earlier 4) [in case the others are too obnoxious] I've figured out how to add fiber into my diet 😉
