    I just back from vacation, stayed at a hotel that had free breakfast from 6-9. I was in that hotel for a full week, didn’t make it to breakfast once. Felt like a waste of money, waking up at noon and walking to a breakfast place nearby, but I’d rather pay for a meal than wake up early so 🤷‍♂️


  • Ah don’t worry about it. I’ve been working out since I was a kid and have fucked up so much it’s ludicrous. When nobody tells you how to work out, you end up doing shit wrong. It’s OK though, because just like life, it’s one long slow learning process.

    Like, I want to compete in a body building competition, and so I diligently went about my training regimen with renewed focus and determination. Started posing practice after each workout. Couple weeks before the show, I’m at 6% bodyfat, lookin good, feeling good. Then I think “wait a tick, in all my posing, I’ve never actually seen what my back pose looks like.” So I went and set up a tripod and camera and took some shots and… woof. My back is underdeveloped as shit. Look like a body builder from the front, and a lil’ twink stick figure from the back.

    So now I incorporate 3 more back exercises.

    Also, I only ever started doing a regular Leg Day like 6 months ago (Just bicycled and ran before).

    So, yeah. Now I’ve got a competition circled that’s further out so I can focus on back, and hopefully by then I’ll be ready. If not, oh well, just circle the next show on the ol’ calendar.

    PROGRESS

    When I fill the pot to make coffee, sometimes I’ll turn the faucet on and then turn away to complete some other quick task. Inevitably, I sometimes take too long on the secondary task, and come back to good, potable water flowing out into the drain. It makes me think about how that truly is the most valuable resource, and some day, I may look back upon those moments of carelessness with great shame. I’m not sure when the next big awful thing that will wipe out entire populations will come, but I’m already preparing myself to feel guilty about it.

    What a wonderful way to spend life. I think I should start building a self-sustaining cabin in the mountains somewhere 😑















  • finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

    spoiler

    whatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons ‘casting’ visions, but evidently that wasn’t what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.
