5-beat weave

with length of chain and unweighted string. Unfortunately, although the chain is long enough to make two poi, I can't cut it, and if I use it as both, the section between my hands gets tangled up with everything. Despite this, my capacity for self-injury grows apace. Win!
I'm thinking reverse 5-beat weave next, although I may have to downgrade my equipment, as reverse weaves are made of face-strike.

In other news, the last episode of planet earth had a Vampyroteuthis infernalis being bioluminessent and arm-wavingly adorable. Hooray for rave-cephlapods

Oh and I graduated again too, thus confirming what my supervisors told each other. It was nice seeing familly again, plus acadmic robes are awesome, even when the hood trys to fly away in high winds. The chanceler's cross-dressed train-carrier is the best use of child labour ever. I wonder where you get them.
