Pasta La Vista...Baby

Words cannot express how happy I was in that one moment where I actually cut a small amount of pasta in half..ish.

As I have said before, I have never done targeting before but have always been interested. So, I finally have gotten a small amount of practice and this was the result:

As evident by my happy dance, I was very pleased. Now I'm sure a few of you out there are doing some sort of face-palm, or giggle at the thought that I could be so happy about hitting one target but gosh darn it, did you see me do it!!!!

My Master's program takes up a lot of my week time so I'm hoping to get out on Friday to get more practice in.  I also posted a small tutorial on the "Victorian Cut Back" this week as per a request I received. I'll go into further detail on that at a later date.  As for now, I have class tomorrow and I need some serious sleep.

On Target

As some of you may or may not know, I am very excited about something vague. Basically, I'm thinking of entering a competition and I have a routine all worked out for this particular competition. But there is ONE BIG problem....

I have to work on my targeting. I think when I created this routine I gravely underestimated the difficulty of successfully cutting things with my whip. While I'm not terrible at it, I do need to become more consistent.

My fiance so generously put together a simple rig so I can practice on my own but it is slow goings. One of the biggest reasons is due to weather. My best targeting whip is a leather one and it's been raining like the dickens!

But, once I master the art of whip targeting...(or at least getting decent at it!) I will have one epic awesome routine that I really can't wait to show you all!


The sky looks clear today so hopefully I will be going out and doing some practice. Heck, I may even film it if it's not too embarrassing!

At any rate, classes start up again on Monday so I will know my schedule better by the end of the week. Let's hope there's room for practice!

Until Next Time,
