FYI, kindly note that Sydney (not only my house) is currently being struck by a moth inundation. And somebody is having some pretty weird ideas out of it...

Epilogue: Luca is (just) not the luckiest man on earth. Very smart indeed, though.

Invasion
Premise: Luca is neither the smartest nor the luckiest man on earth.
It can't only be a coincidence. Seriously, it has reached a point beyond ridiculous, it's getting creepy.
Let's start from the beginning. Last night I did laundry and washed the shorts I use for practicing yoga. I didn't really want to have the drier running all night so I shoved all the clothes in the drier and left the thingy open so I could remember to switch it on in the morning before heading to work. I thought I'd only hang my shorts on the chair outside to dry overnight, so that I could bring them with me and go straight to the studio after my afternoon uni class (yes, very busy day...)
After I woke up, I slid the window door open and grabbed my shorts to see if they were dry enough. Next thing I know, I was surrounded by dozens of moths flying around like crazy!!! I jolted about the damn shorts to get rid of them but they'd only come out more and more. They had nested in them for fuck's sake! I turned around and those creatures were swarming all over my kitchen. TB went nuts, he started jumping around like crazy, trying to paw them down and play with them (for once, bless his heart). It took me almost 20 minutes to put them down, I could not bloody open the window cos more would swarm in. I grabbed rags and broom and I waved them around until I counted 17 casualties on the battlefield. On top of that, consider I was obviously totally naked, so I must also have been fun to look at...
Hurried out to the bus stop - bloody hot today, 30*!!! - and at work I noticed another moth flying in the office for just a sec and then off it goes. mmmmh......
In the computer lab in class this afternoon again, a few had snuck in and were flying in circle above us....
Jumped on the half-empty bus, I made for a free seat to discover that the seat was definitely taken, two of those things attached to one another. What the %$#&?
I came home from yoga, turned on the lights and there they were again. TB went berserk but this time we teamed up: I had them land on the broom which I lifted close to the bulb, and then I would hit the broom to the floor so that the moths fell off and TB could strike! Another 20 minutes or so of that had me sweat even more. They managed to get in the bathroom, behind the curtains, in the shower, you name it! They were everywhere!
It can't only be a coincidence...
I looked up on the internet what the hell this might mean.
1)"If a man dreams of a moth flying about, he should be careful in choosing female relationships."
I don't think that's the case...
2)"To see a moth in a dream, small worries will lash you into hurried contracts, which will prove unsatisfactory."
A) I did not dream of moths, people (I wish I had at this point): I was bloody infested!!!
B) The only contract I have is with Vodafone, at least that I know of...
3)"The moth in your dream may be pointing out a personal weakness or may be bringing to light a deception in your life. It could be suggesting that you are being lead to a place where you will be hurt unless you recognize the danger. Since dreams are very rarely literal, the danger could be emotional or psychological, not necessarily physical".
It doesn't sound too good...
4)"Quarrels of a domestic nature are prognosticated."
John is presently flying in and is going to land in the morning. It all makes sense now. Oh god...
Anything positive at all?

Step One
Today is my first yoga anniversary. I have been officially practicing for one year now. And tonight class was excellent and, surprise surprise, rewarding. I didn't think much but let myself sink into the practice. So at a certain point, I found myself in Bakasana, on which I've been working for the past month, and had a really steady grip.
And I don't know how but after a few breaths there, I found myself lightly landing on my head and building up into a nice headstand, Sirsasana.
Very pleased cost I kept both postures for quite a while and they came quite naturally really. Let it be...
Since yoga has had a very positive impact on me and my lifestyle over the past year, I have been thinking a lot about pushing myself a little further into it. I decided to take the teacher training programme that starts in February. It has been in my head for some months now but I was hesitating. It fits perfectly between the end of summer school in January and the beginning of my second and last semester at uni. It is indeed a quite long commitment since this first training session consists of four modules for a total of 200 hours. I am going to take each module separately, progressing maybe in May if I manage (which will be held in Bali), most likely in September 2008 or during the winter months. I am not doing this for teaching purposes. My attitude is more of a curious yogi who wants to see whether he should invest in a "parallel career" and understands better this fascinating and life-changing practice. Obviously, it would be very fulfilling to complete it, but I'd better take one step at a time. So for now it's February with 50 hours, then we'll see. It's also quite pricey so I want to think of it as form of investment really.
This is just one of the few decisions I have made lately and that I am still working out. I have to plan things quite carefully now because budgeting for projects like this requires some thinking beforehand. I am looking forward to this undertaking and to all the others that I am currently figuring out. It helps me give a clearer direction in life and breeds motivation I guess. Well, at least I hope.
