Get a yoga video in the mean time and do it at home!

Get a yoga video in the mean time and do it at home!

I found video's great, cos you can do them without any fuss. Any time you feel like, don't have to wait for a class, but with the benefit of having an instructor.

Hi all. Not been around here for ages so thought I'd drop back in. It's hard when I have to use the in laws PC for internet as I feel I need to rush things.

Anyways....me and 2 of my sisters in law do yoga in my living room at least once a week. We do Baptiste power yoga, it's a really good work out.

I really need some help. Need a name for my new kitten. He's totally jet black with bright green eyes and very sleek. He's hopefully going to be a friend for my 2yr old norwegian forest cat called Oscar. We kinda aquired the new kitten as he belonged to a family who now have 3 week old twins and the kitten keeps crawling onto the babies when they are sleeping and giving their mother heart attacks.

I had a cat exactly like that a long time ago named Cricket.

I'm so sad. Everyone is getting kitties, but my landlord won't allow pets

We had a black cat named sooty, my dad was a coal miner and was always covered in black soot lol.

Yep, that's Conar the cairn terrier. He also did a star turn in the video for "Cemetry Gates" I did earlier this year. And he is partial to a cigar once in a while.

Man, this sparkly thing is F-U-N fun!

You made a video of Cemetry Gates!?? Sounds intriguing (does Morrissey know about this? He would probably sue for a share of the royalties) and it's my favourite Smiths song - although I have many fave songs by The Smiths. The Queen is Dead is my favourite album of theirs though.

I've been away from VJ a while but the blingy photos are hilarious...

Well the haters sticker is a reference to all of those people who totally don't understand the need and desperate desire to have sparkly "love trophies" in their siggies... So all of the UK forum at the very least

I reckon you'll have a bling-loving posse elsewhere in the forums!

[Jeraly 4]

Come on then babbles - where's your blingy photo!? And why am I the only person with mine in my siggy?!

[bakofoil 27]

one's enough

babbles -- the video for Cemetry Gates is

Went to World Market yesterday and made the boy happy by returning with some Bounty bars and a packet of Paxo sage and onion stuffing. Also threw down waaaay too much money at Sephora at the totally b!tchin' Glendale Galleria.

Feeling a bit blue today -- I'm off to Connecticut on Thursday for 2 weeks, but I alas will be alone. B is staying here in Burbank, and I will be running around like a maniac. I have visits to New York City, Long Island, Portland Maine, and then another NYC trip all in the space of about 12 days, plus two events to attend with some mega-captains of industry. So I have to find and wear work clothes for the first time in nearly four months (I've been in flip-flops almost every day since the end of June, god knows what heels are going to feel like), locate autumn attire and try not to feel too horrible about leaving my husband behind for nearly a fortnight.

[Jeraly 4]

Urgh - not fun Although saying that, I would love to get away for 12 days and visit all those places... but maybe if work wasn't involved and I had Jeremy with me

Oooh! And when you get back, if the car is ready, then we will have to go to Burbank anyway as well as Pasadena because our closest IKEA is in Santa Ana or Burbank... We want to get a table so we can actually sit down to eat dinner at last and, while not our preference in terms of decor and style, the one we have seen there is perfect for our little place because it all folds out and has extra storage! But don't want to make two trips down that way!

I cracked up when the dog appeared behind 'How to think like Leonardo da Vinci'. Very cool, thanks! There's a few cemetry gates tributes on there. The Jules et Jim rendition is particularly cute.

My sister-in-law is totally hooked on Sephora - in fact I believe she has more shades of lipgloss than they have. My UK money finally ran out so I'm currently scrabbling through the last remnants of make-up.

Great weekend that was. On Saturday we had quite the adventure. We headed out to Midlothian Illinois for a Scottish fair. We finally got there, but our journey wasn't helped when our CTA train caught fire!! Trip was worth it though, when I was able to sit down to some real haggis.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Was Ginger made to eat haggis?

She tried a wee bit. I think she liked it better than she let on. I know Ginger definitely enjoyed her fish n chips.

We paid $5 for a can of Irn bru!! Just as well we have somewhere local where we can get it for $1.70.
