Two-thirds of the way through. And it seems like just yesterday I was only one-third of my way there.

Very crowded class tonight. Decent workout, but I don't think I got much out of it spiritually. There was some point about looking inward and shutting off some of the senses to augment others. Part of the practice tonight was done with eyes closed, which was an interesting experience.

There was some particular focus on the intercostals, which was a good stretch. At one point, we were doing a side twist in a lunge with the help of a partner. I essentially was in a forward lunge, twisting pretty much to the point where my back was almost resting on my lunged forward leg. That was pretty cool. I feel totally loose in my side torso right now.

I think I have what's been described to me as "Monkey Mind", usually following meditation. My brain is all over the place, I'm distracted and a little loopy. It happens sometimes apparently when the practice interrupts a lot of other crap going. Not that there's any particular crap, but there's enough, I guess.

Off topic: I bought myself and iPod nano from Amazon.com. They're running a promotion with audible.com where you get a $100 instant rebate off compatible mp3 players when you commit to 12 months of the audible service. I basically got my iPod for less than half price. I never thought that I was much of a music listener, but I have more than 400 mp3's on my computer, so I guess I'm a little more into it than I thought. Since I'll be making lots more trips between Phoenix and Tucson with my new job, this will definitely help with the tedium of those drives. Now I just need to find an FM transmitter that fits my nano. The one I ordered from Amazon with my nano only fits the first generation nanos and mine is second generation. Damn.
