...today, on my way to a bathroom break from the oprah-party-at-jacob-javits-convention-center where i was working, i stumbled upon a 'wii fun/activities booth'...the only thing is that you're making the shape of what you THINK hula hooping would be like, swirling your hips like a tourist-hawaiian but the problem is that if you were ever actually given a hula hoop you'd actually not be able to do it, because you were only familiar with wii? is this a problem or i'm just taking it too seriously? it's fun right? with the guitars and you sing and stuff? anyway, last week i went to chloe's and she pulled out her home made hula hoops. she has named one, the gold and black one, beyonce. we climbed on the roof and saw sunset over brooklyn and took in the air and talked under the departing flights that i love so much and i drank a silly cider and she had a real beer and we hooped. i was pleased to find out it is indeed easier the second and third times around...pause.... she can do two at once, or walk in circles, and transfer weight around; all this fancy stuff...and when she does it, she looks nothing like what those without real hula hoops look like, when they do what they do when they think they're really hula hooping...in fact, pros barely move at all...it's more of a forward n' back baller stance...and as it turns out, the bigger the hoop, the slower the wind...
