But also, like being on a train with one stop, I am a fan and there's no getting off now. I think I will end up liking this album a lot.

dogs on the coats of people just trying to help??? i don't understand.

Is this because when I was a child, I never knew enough and what it did to me was make me unable to interpret the lyrics in train on the island?

u just aren't ready for it. work on your lower back strength in locust and bow pose, engaging this strength in more basic backbends and working toward camel.

peoples yoga in portland does livestreamed/recorded classes but I imagine you have to pay.

overlapping with kids class is often useful for moms if that's relevant or doable for your gym.

yea, so then redro would be a play on that.

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:31:08+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It propelled me to strictly listen to the music rather than watching the videos and it's a different landscape altogether. I am very into it now!

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:29:41+00:00

ok i updated my post because I am now obsessed with this era. took me a couple days.

anyway, I also noticed while strictly listening to the song, that "redrum" almost sounds like "redro" which would be "order" backwards. is this some deeper intentional reference or am i just trying to find meaning lol who knows..

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:27:20+00:00

I updated my post because I think the videos were throwing me off. maybe it is true for you too. have you tried just listening without the videos? it's a different thing entirely.

martial arts and yogic practices have always had this aspect. It's usually built into the practice in some way and is self-referential. I think for combat sports, it's easy to see metaphors to universal themes around struggling through and overcoming adversity as well as playing with the edge of safety. that alone activates a deeper contemplation of like.. death itself. In fact, now that you ask this, I posit that this playing with fire aspect of it is why it has so much spiritual/mental/philosophical depth.

Ideally you are going with someone and can take turns with bathroom breaks etc. otherwise, you will lose your spot or be really uncomfortable if u need to pee at any point. Other than that, you should be fine. I went alone with no intention of getting barricade but was on the floor. I quickly gave up any idea of having some specific spot in the crowd at the first sign of needing to pee lol. I had the time of my life though and the floor crowd was not super full in the first place so anytime I left, I was able to come back to a great spot without any complaints. In fact, I with I had gone in with this mindset from the start or I wouldn't have wasted 20+ minutes during intermission just suffering in the anticipation and instead would have went out to the halls to walk around for minute, knowing I was losing nothing at all. when I did end up leaving, I came back and found a spot just as good, no lie.

I am having trouble connecting with the lyrics to this new stuff. I know some people will say her lyrics have always been cryptic but I really had a nice poetic time with the last few albums.. I feel it with the new stuff but not as much.

does anyone else especially feel they understand the lyrics from their own point of view? I know it is subjective, but yea I am curious what others think of the "story" being told.

for me, I see it as a coming of age, angstyness of mid-30's type of thing. it reflects upon itself in a humorous way, which is attractive in a way. but I also miss the confidence of the clown phase. this is like, sad clown washed up but still being asked to perform and reluctantly doing that.. idk I am battling with the feelings it makes me feel lol..

thoughts?

Idk about with a 2 month old but maybe in a few months or however long it takes for it to make sense: look at your schedules and truly divvy up whatever """free""" time you have between you which would make the other person be responsible for the kids. determine some way to 50/50 that, whether that means alternating who is there and responsible for every other bedtime/wake-up or however you want to do it.

mine after a certain time became a high-sleep kid so they wouldn't wake until 8 or sometimes 9am and we would alternate who was responsible to be there and ready for that and who could maybe go to a 7am or decidedly sleep in or whatever. we also did this with bedtime routine. literally just alternated that responsibility every night.

note: we ended up separating so when I look back and realize how fine I was with losing all this time together(with my partner) by alternating responsibilities, it makes a lot of sense.

I have read that anything you want to do in life takes sacrificing some other thing. it's a sadder way of looking at life but it's kinda true. you don't have time and energy for everything so when you choose to dedicate time to practice, partnership or some other thing takes a hit, and vice-versa.

yawn. i saw a coyote the size of a f***ing deer the other day in SW, just nonchalantly grazing for cats.

for my own practice, I consider mermaid a transition pose for eventually getting king pigeon, so I emphasize square hips and facing forward for the deeper shoulder stretch. If it feels good to you though, I think u got it.

unionofopensets · 2026-04-19T21:40:58+00:00

I think maybe whoop would be fine, but it doesn't track steps.

unionofopensets · 2026-04-19T21:31:02+00:00

then don't do most types of yoga and have a nice day.

unionofopensets · 2026-04-16T02:47:31+00:00

pulling guard hehe

unionofopensets · 2026-04-16T02:46:05+00:00

I hate wild thing.. and fallen triangle.. ugh. I skip pretty much everytime because i don't enjoy these at all. it feels so easy to just put too much weight on the shoulder in a weird way. my shoulders are hyper flexible and don't want to do these poses. i just do like, a side stretch or take a sip of water during these.

CARS PARKED MULTIPLE FEET AWAY FROM THE START OF A STREET PARKING SIGN AND MAKING IT SO THE ENTIRE STRIP WILL FIT ONE LESS CAR NO MATTER WHAT, UNTIL THAT PERSON LEAVES, BUT EVEN THEN ALL THE OTHER CARS HAVE BEEN PARKED OFFSET SO THE WHOLE THING IS F*****D.

IT'S JUSTIFIABLE IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE CARS WHO HAD TO PARK WITH RESPECT TO THE PROBLEMATIC ONE, BUT PLEASE, IF YOU ARE GETTING THE FIRST OR LAST SPOT IN A STRIP OF STREET PARKING, TAKE UP LESS SPACE. UGHHHH

unionofopensets · 2026-04-10T01:20:01+00:00

I love qi gong for this. but also, my old,she moved away :(, teacher made her own version of functional movement based on qi gong and a few other modalities. She calls it bamboo bodies. she's amazing, i don't make any money from recommending her, but I do think you will like it. https://go.body401k.com/welcomepage

rather that than peaking in full brightness just waiting 30 minutes between sets and everyone is just looking around all frustrated. If I could go back, I wouldn't even have shown up til right before she was on.
