I've been a bit busy (only days without work or school since Sept 1st = Labor Day + today; total days off since Aug 1st = 6), but Monday was my last class of massage school! Just 28 internship hours and a few tests and I can get my license!

Lindsey and I are celebrating by catching up on Fringe. I always forget just how fucking awesome Olivia Dunham is until she comes on my screen again, but seriously: Anna Torv's performance(s) in S3 hit it out of the damn park.

In other news, can I just say how incredibly fucking glad I am that DADT has been repealed?

Tangentially - Sean Maher opens up about his sexuality: 'This is my coming out ball':

The role for which Maher is probably most well-known is Dr. Simon Tam [...] on the cult TV series Firefly and follow-up feature Serenity, both created by Joss Whedon. Maher remembers those projects as some of his best — even though his personal life was still off-limits during that time. “Looking back, on Firefly for instance, I do wish on day one I had told them because these are some of the most amazing people who are still like family to me,” Maher says. “I am so grateful for that show because they saved me. I was so unhappy and lonely and to come to work everyday with that group was wonderful. It really was all I had at that point in my life.”

♥ Firefly cast & crew, forever and ever. ♥ Too bad that his new show The Playboy Club looks terrible and has been getting similar ratings, but good for him on a personal level.

skin deep

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 03:18:08 GMT

New favorite thing learned in massage class: skin rolling. You sort of grip the skin, pull it away from the underlying muscle and roll it about an inch or two at a time; if you do it right, you can feel all the fascial adhesions going snap-crackle-pop. My teacher did a hand-and-arm demo on me and made a hilarious glee face when he found all of the little crunchy bits.

Yeah, yesterday was weird. Anyway. I've just been sitting and bookmarking fic and trying to write XMFC alien invasion fic (argh, Erik, why so hard to write?) and rolling the skin on my forearms and it's like all the things I love at once.

How were your days?

Burst into flames from sheer excellence!

This animated video, adapted from a Hyperbole and a Half post, sent Lindsey and me into hysterical giggle fits. So you should watch it to! Paralyze yourself with laughter!

The "manly scent" section of that reminded me that I started massage therapy school. I told many, many people in real life - I told junebug_waltz twice! (she laughed at me) - but I neglected to tell the internet. Sorry about that. It's delightfully fun, between my renewed anatomy geekery and spending half of my class time on Tuesdays *getting* a massage. My very own portable massage table arrives tomorrow, so I can practice on all the unfortunate souls who live near me ;)
