wintercoat

I find working out in the depths of winter hard.
Not in London cause we have plenty of space in the livingroom, but in Tallinn it's not as convenient to work out at home. And going somewhere, I mean, it's so cold outside, then you have to go somewhere, get naked to get changed, then change back, get home in the cold.
I know these are all just a massive bunch of excuses, I do know this. It's just I genuinely feel like this bunny below, at the thought of working out during the winter-months.
So therefore, the past month has just been a big big hole of nothing.
Oh well, winter will pass.

And o-m-g, imma work on my pushups.

start

With the new year kick-starting, I seem to just forget to take a moment and breathe.
I won't do New Year's resolutions because they are not my style really - as in, I don't really like them.
So this year I will simply take time.
Take time to be. Cause there's such joy in being! And keep reminding myself. New habits are hard to start, but once we start a habit, the habit carries on and then forms us.
So, I will create a habit of taking time.
Taking time to make time.
I don't wish to live another year so that I get myself into ridiculous over-worked dead-ends. It's just an unpleasant waste of time, counter productive, so I am very much looking forward to saying, "yay! got rid of that".
So therefore, find an hour a day that is not tied to a laptop, or a phone, or a TV-set.
I know I will. Just a little time to switch off.
And I am absolutely dead-certain it will make a huge difference.
I like being busy, but busy and busy are different. Once I'm so busy I would like to slice my eyeballs open - I mean, where's the fun in that. But with a little time for breathing, the busy becomes a nice busy. Like, waves. Being caught in it, buried under it, or riding it. The wave, after-all, is the same.

Ride your wave.

I MISS THEATRE

I miss you, I say! Seriously!
I miss theatre so much.

This little outburst was brought on by this circus show I just watched (not live, TV broadcast), by this Canadian troupe called Cirque Eloize. Their show "Rain" - Comme une pluie dans tes yeux.

I think they are worth checking out.

The show had this amazing sense of nostalgia about it. It's not usually my thing, but it worked so so well. This bittersweet circus cabaret with the most amazing acrobats, some songs, some silly bits, not with clowns but exceedingly charming people.
Just, I love circus. I think it just holds what I hold dear - the playful nature. I don't like animal circus, nor do I think it's necessary.
Circus is about grown-ups doing what we should be doing - marveling at the world, and responding to it. The laughter, the amazement, and the music, and just, all of it in this big glorious nostalgic French pie. Superb.
And just silly enough.
And I liked how simple it was. I'm a big fan of Cirque du Soleil but their stuff is just so grand in scale (I don't know a better word for describing this). Eloize's stuff was so much more low-key, and simple, like I could go away from seeing their show and do some of it myself - just have fun.

Awesome. Truly awesome.
Thanks, ETV, for broadcasting good things.

it's snowing

It's snowing, and I'm listening to Gaga's "You and I" which I just absolutely unconditionally love and it's pretty great.

Rise of the Guardians (2012)

GOOD FUN, GUYS!
Saw this yesterday with my nephew, and it was the 3D showing which I usually ignore. Most movies are just better in 2D.
BUT. Firstly, you could tell this was conceived with 3D in mind, which makes a huge difference. It had some stunning 3D moments. And the whole thing is really a Disneyland-joyride so 3D suits it fine.
It was dubbed into Estonian, but quite well done.
And it had a nice heartwarming point to it! Fit for all adults as well - "Don't forget to play, y'all."So all in all, this was great!

Sandman was my fave.
