Bad, bad, Frances!



150 miles... that's how close hurricane Frances will, apparently come to San Juan. I'm soooo *not* happy. Anyways, I'd better get ready. Worst case scenario, it comes even closer and we get hurricane winds and rain up to our necks. Best case scenario, we get a day off work to prepare and end up barbecuing outside.



The rain is what worries me the most. We've survived a couple of hurricanes here in my house (Hugo, Georges...) but its been raining all weekend and already the terrain is saturated, we so don't need any more water. I'm still optimistic we'll only get some of those rain bands and not too many inches of water.



Let's see how this one goes!

Expo

My first Ashtanga class!!!

Yesterday, I got to experience my first Ashtanga class. There are no Ashtanga shalas here in PR but this weekend they had an expo in San Juan that included some demos and workshops by 'It's Yoga' (from San Francisco). They had a workshop for their 'Rocket' series and a more traditional first series. It was fantastic, the teacher was very patient and so good with the students. I was so thrilled that I could follow so well, even when he was using Sanskrit ;-) A great experience all around made even better when they told me they are thinking of opening an Ashtanga shala right here in San Juan! They are not completely sure where exactly it will be but they are very optimistic it will be here in a few months. I'm soooo there, I even signed to get more info!

Loved the expo. Good vegetarian food, lovely music, free massages, interesting demos, cool workshops (I even did some bellydancing ), plus Ashtanga in Puerto Rico!!! I had a blast, and I can't wait till next year!

Back to business

Back to business this week:


Got my computer and programs back. I can finally start working on my sites again! Map of a Human Heart (Xander site) has a new home here. I'm working on updating with some new fics and covers real soon.

To buy or not to buy:


I've heard only good things about Robin 129 (huzzlewhat's LJ and Te's LJ) and I'm itching to read it. I haven't bought a DC comics in years but damn "War Games" sounds sooo damn good!

Puerto Ricoooooo!!!!


Woke up really early on Saturday to see PR's basketball team beat Australia 87-82, what a game! Man, those kids are playing so well, gotta love them! Here's hoping they can keep it going =)
