one of the things i feel blessed about in my life is having had the opportunity to do many different things. i suppose it's a combination of my pita- vata personality and being lucky enough to have the resources to experiment -in addition to knowing a wealth of amazing people. most recently, i've been working on a play with a local playwrite, will kern. he was the author of the fantastic play-turned film- hellcab, one of the longest running plays in chicago. it was actually the first play i saw 6 years ago when i moved back to the city. anyway, he contacted a friend of mine who did a lot of work casting and directing a reading of the play for the asian american theater workshop. since then, a few of us have been reading the play with him to help him write the final script. tonight we are doing a reading of the newest incarnation of the play at the prop theater for their new play workshop. it's called mothers and tigers and is a collection of true stories told by korean women. the author took the stories he heard while interviewing women in korea and put them together into a one act play.
this is a picture of the actresses who read the first version of the play in the workshop last spring, directed and cast by the one and only, mia park. such a fun group of girls! it's our korean girl gang.yoga- i skipped practice today (sorry lisa!). i had to go to a school on the far, far south-west side of the city to observe teachers. so i would of had to get up in the wee hours of the morning (well, 5:30am- which is the wee hours to me!) to practice. i could do it now, but am feeling bogged down with school work (and blogging!). my legs (quads) are so sore from yesterday! they feel like i've been lifting weights. well, i guess i have been lifting the weight of my body struggling to get up from laguvajrasana. so i guess it's working...

aww, shucks... *blush*
no seriously, i owe everything to all the people who have been (and are) in my life- inspiring and challenging me... i have a feeling some of my biggest challenges, accomplishments, acceptences lie ahead in my ashtanga path...
i'm pitta/vata, too. and have a bfa in music theatre. i think we may be long lost twins.
how are those quads?
love that photo, btw. so cute! (kawaii)
(hey-what's your icon?)
thanks!
the icon (is that the one with the masks?)...if so- it's from when some friends and i had dinner, one to many glasses of wine, and played around with the masks beez (the hubby) and i brought back from new orleans. i love masks! my dream is to have a masquerade ball in some fancy ballroom somewhere. maybe one of these new year's!
yay pitta/vatas!
I'm pitta-vata as well. I'm very impressed that you did an ironman, I only even did sprint tri's. I do believe everyone should skydive at least once in their lives.
cj-
i actually found the short dist races hard because you have to sprint the whole time! i like the slower pace of the ironman. and believe me! it was slow... my main goal was to finish.
and yes, skydiving is the ultimate rush!
