I’ll have to get the link for you…

But derinitely in an olde-timey syringe.

And after a little probing, I found that there are actually a LOT of free yoga podcasts (and other things, workout-y and not, as anni noted) available on iTunes (both video and audio-only), from Yoga Journal and other sources. The internet is magic. And cuddling gets a big thumbs up.

I’m feeling your pain, yosafbridge. Both in the “impractical humanities degree/s” and the “job hunting FAIL” categories, and it just sucks the wind right out of your sails, esp. if you’re overly self-identified with your work (as I am; Bad Idea Jeans).

Again, thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. I should bake you all something fabulous.

Not that hollistic, I know, but you won’t even need coffee in the morning!

- iTunes University has great free podcasts to download, sometimes I even take notes while I listen because it makes me feel productive and my brain feels good.
- America’s Funniest Home Videos – I know, I know, totally low brow and dumb, but it makes me laugh and gets my mind of stuff, especially if you have tivo you can fast forward through the annoying host bits
- cuddling (if you’re in to that :) Spooning with a friend while watching a movie can be really therapeutic, sometimes I just need some human comfort

I’m also having a hell of a time finding a new job. Like other have said I’ve tried to do something productive, something where I can succeed (because job hunting has been FAIL). I decided I needed better my practical education. I have a degree in Theater and English but never learned computer skills beyond word processing to write academic papers. I’ve been spending this week learning Excell, Powerpoint and Publisher. I feel better about myself and more confident about applying for jobs I wouldn’t have before.

What a great idea. I had an injury a while back and had to stop practicing, and for a multitude of boring reasons can’t get back to the studio, but I desperately need yoga in my life again.

Also, holy crap, the girl from San Diego (me) is NOT liking this weather here. I’m from a freakin’ desert; I do not like this deluge thing y’all got going on here. Almost didn’t drag my ass uptown for class today. :-P

I was going to say Yoga Podcasts as well, they’re a money saver and still help me concentrate through a nice programme of yoga in the evenings.

Also if you start running you can reward yourself by planning a fun trip around a race.
