cold water, hot yoga

woke up this morning, dear readers, only to discover my fine building had no hot water. bummer. without my very hot shower, a latte, and a bowl of fresh ricotta with raspberries in the morning, i transform into adachigahara, a japanese ogress -- 10 ft. high, blue warty skin, freezing death-ray gaze, sharp pointy teeth, wild mountain hair, brandishing a large iron spear. oh, and did i mention cranky?

i was desperate. so desperate i considered following the lead of the poor shivering finches in the hedge below my window. they take dust baths, fluttering their wings through the fluffy soil.

really, i thought to myself, i could shake out all of richard donnelly's cocoa-dusted double-chocolate dipped macadamia nuts on the kitchen floor and just roll around in the loose valrhona. . .

instead i washed my face in icy water, dragged a mason-pearson junior through my tresses, and doused myself in mitsouko. hindsight being 20/20, the valrhona would have been a better idea, moodwise at least.

in other news, yoga people has opened its second location in fort greene, brooklyn. one block from bam, it's on fulton between ashland and rockwell, second floor. take the c train to lafayette or the n & r to dekalb. they're offering vinyasa, pre-natal, and hot bikram-style classes. no website yet; you'll have to call 718-237-2300 for info.
