Finally, the tragedinas are ready.

I drew off the edge of the page for a couple and decided to just live with it rather than redo the whole sketch. I hope they aren't as compressed as they look on my screen.

Craquage alimentaire en hiver : comment les éviter ?

NOUVEAU : Craquage alimentaire en hiver : comment les éviter ?

Quand l’hiver est là, vous pouvez ressentir une grande difficulté à ne pas craquer sur des aliments trop caloriques. Pour certains, ce sera du chocolat, d’autres des chips ou une pizza. Le soir, nous devrions tous dormir, mais à la place, on grignote devant les écrans (parce que nous avons envie de profiter un peu de la vie). Le problème, c’est que si vous faites ça, vous allez finir l’hiver avec…

Ce matin nous déjeunons après avoir déposer les enfants.

Puis canapé ou je m’allonge en mettant mes pieds sur tes jambes, tu es assis .

Tu masse pieds , jambes, cuisses, mes seins.

Te voilà sur moi , entre mes cuisses, ta bouche sur mon cou , une protubérance presse mon entrejambe.

Tu enlèves ton sweat-shirt, sors mes seins de mon soutif et les lèches.

Tes fesses sont précieuses dans mes mains et mon bassin gigote contre ton pantalon.

Tu sors ta verge par ta braguette, je n’ai pas le temp de la saisir que tu ecarte mon body et remonte ma robe .

Un missionnaire de père et mère s’en suit puis affaler , jambe sur tes épaules, ta verge est maintenant une queue large qui me fait couiner comme une amante .

Cette queue devient une bite affamée qui s’engouffre dans mon petit trou en me rappelant que tu dois te vider, telle est ton devoir de féconder.

Tu m’embrasse, referme ta braguette , ta verge et toi doivent aller en ville .

got offered a promotion in another part of the store (ecart aka online shopping. i did it for a few weeks) . 40 hours a week $23hr pay (holy shit). boss told me to think about it and talk to him Tuesday. im so conflicted.

first instinct is yes bc of the pay (like r u kidding) but also i just got comfortable in the meat department and they need me . and id feel bad for abandoning them. but also ecart needs me bc they've had 2 people quit since i was over there. but also im going on vacation soon so id be taking the job and immediately leaving???? thats also kinda messed up??? but the PAY god the pay.

Que veux-tu que je t'écrive? Que veux-tu que je te dise? Je suis plein de toi. N'es-tu pas au commencement et à la fin de toutes mes pensées. Tu as été longtemps ma joie; maintenant tu es ma consolation. Ton regard est si charmant, ton sourire est si ineffable et si doux, tu répands autour de toi un rayonnement de grâce, de dévouement et d'amour, il me semble, quand je suis près de toi, qu'il peut encore entrer un peu de lumière dans mes yeux et un peu de bonheur dans mon âme! Je t'aime, mon pauvre ange! Tu as tous les trésors qu'une femme peut avoir dans le cœur et dans l'esprit. Toi qui m'a ôté tant de jours de deuil, toi qui m'a fait tant de jours de fête, ais un jour de fête aujourd'hui! Sois heureuse comme tu es bénie! Sois heureuse comme tu es bonne! Sois heureuse comme tu es aimée! Ecarte de ton beau front et de ton grand cœur les petits chagrins du moment, les ombres, les nuages qui passent! Tu mérites le ciel. Je voudrais que Dieu te le donnât sans t'ôter à moi! Qu'il te fît ange en te laissant femme. Je t'aime!

Victor Hugo

I just finished watching Tsiskaridze's 7th year exam... I have lots of opinions...

I did not like it.

1. The pointe shoes come on too early. They did the first small adage and the rest was en pointe. I am perhaps one of the few people on this earth who finds pointe shoes more easy to dance in than flats, pointe shoes have a rise and fall, there's an up and down, and these days the shoes help us both go up and stay up (I too wear Gaynor knock offs, I don't think it's "cheating", but it objectively is easier). They need the exercises to be done on half toes, it aids to the development on turnout through the way of using the floor, these are students, this is training, it should not be a performance. The legs aren't warm enough, pointe shoes come on AFTER allegro in the method for a reason. And movement quality gets lost, like what happened in fondu, also whole movements are lost, like flic-flac and reverse en ecarte.

2. Loss of technique: the girls jump lovely with height and ballon, but they land sloppily. Dirty fifths, turned in knees, weak batterie. All those things were crucial in the Vaganova style even a decade ago. If you go further back, in Somova or Novikova/Obraztsova graduation years, the allegro was textbook perfection, it was unreal how clean every movement was. This class was just okay; they jump strongly but that's about it. To me it seems like the teacher didn't insist on cleanliness, either excused it because of the added difficulty of the pointe shoes* or ignored it in favour of proving his choreographic talents (which are obviously wonderful, just not suited for a school exam).

*nobody cares if pointe shoes make it harder. If it can't be done well with them on, you should have the students take them off.

3. Loss of coordination in hands and arms: fairly obvious if you've watched enough Vaganova classes. There are moments where the arms are awkward because they don't have a clear place to be, they haven't been trained or paid attention to enough. Again, I blame the pointe shoes, these are students who are supposed to understand the use of user body in these final 3 years, yet they're told to forget what they were building towards, focus even more on footwork and nevermind the port de bras. Nikolay had naturally beautiful coordinated arms and I wonder if he can't pass that to his students because he never struggled with it.

4. Too much allegro too early: this was a men's class. I don't have a lot to say on this, it's quite straightforward. Some combinations were even the same as his past classes, lacking that feminine Vaganova grace because they were made for boys.

5. All this culminates into a Bolshoi style exam, Bolshoi style class, Bolshoi style dancers. Do that extra turn even though you are behind everyone else. Do all double fouettes even though you can't land it. Vaganova had that noble grace, polished simplicity. They were a corps de ballet, now everyone is dancing for themselves. Russians more than anyone know most students end up in the corps, and that's what they're trained for. Nikolay himself has said "careers are made in the theatre, school is for learning". You learn in a class, not in a choreography. Ballet discipline is learning to all be the same, do the exact same thing, even if you're Ulanova dancing next to cotton eye Joe.

I used to be a fan of Tsiskaridze's classes, now I truly feel like he'd be better off in Moscow, and Vaganova get a Vaganova trained dean. I wonder if Lopatkina is interested in teaching.
