I'm sipping down a cup of tea with a pile of homework that I should be doing sits comfortably next to me.

I've changed my thesis project- I'm considering writing something on the New Atheists philosophy, with reference to the thoughts of some of the major thinkers I've read and enjoyed. I'm vaguely considering writing up some of my notes for this blog-thing- would anyone be interested? I'll be starting with "God is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens, and I'm planning to continue reading through a few big names before I really start digging into the philosophy of it.

In other news, my dear and delighted language study bunch has returned to having study sessions at 5pm- this is the time I'm normally cooking dinner before the Gentleman gets home.

I've started to exercise a little bit- only four days in a row so far, and it is NOT a New Year's Resolution (TM), but it feels... sustainable. I do a little bit of crunches and push-ups and then mostly a bit of prancing about and throwing punches and kicks when the dance moves fail me. I put something interesting to watch on in the background and use that to time myself. I stop when I want to, I stretch when I want to, I get more intense when I want to- it's quite nice.

There are some people, I think, who really enjoy the feeling of being "in their body," for lack of a better term. They like the feel of being attentive and careful with their bodies as they are exercising and moving around. I don't do that- I exercise best when I am not thinking about my body, when I am distracted and my body is just a nice stable hum in the background, doing what I need it to. Paying too much attention to it just makes me stumble and get worried about it something feels wrong or right
