Aha, now *this* is Rodney's skating style.

Tinkering with Out Of Bounds. The next part is giving me some trouble (experiment doesn't seem to be working). In the process however, I have a You Tube clip that's pretty close to Rodney's showy-playful skating style.

Re-evaluating LJ time.

I'm not sure yet how I'm going to handle this, but I'm working on ways to focus more on writing and RL, and spend less time on Livejournal personal posts.

For the time being I'm going to be locking everything. I might do my first ever f-list trim, I'm not sure, that may be too much of a hassle. But I'm setting aside the habit of posting about every inky-dink personal crisis ("eeek, bad hair day!" etc.) in LJ. That's one way I end up not writing -- and not doing a lot of things, frankly.
