my life as a wrestler, week 3

good practice this week. Getting a lot more comfortable with some of the bumps. Learned that I’ve been holding my legs wrong on them. I think I should be able to correct that now. My neck and shoulder are very sore, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I slept…

stupid photoshop tricks

so after brief forays into extreme sexist misogyny and racism I now return you to your regularly scheduled metrosexual rambling… This is mostly for zenthia and mistergrumpy, but comments welcome from whoever else too… The shirt that I got from International Male last week. I actually already had the ice shirt, so I bought the…

one of the signs of the apocalypse…

well I’ll be damned!?!? Channel 11 news just had a story on about a car/bike accident (14 year old boy vs. moving Ford Explorer). They had an interview with the the man who heard the crash, called 911 and tended to the boy who was hit. Now here’s the kicker. The man was black… and…

random notes

spent most of the day helping wooble and Tracey move, so I don’t have much interesting to say. I will say that their new house is pretty kickass. But its kinda weird having Geoff live in a house with a bathroom that’s not big enough to play football in. Just sent mail to people about…

indy film or instructional video…

beststephi and I watched the movie Roger Dodger last night. I had bought it in the half-priced used DVD bin at Blockbuster. I actually didn’t know anything about the film, but I saw the cast included Campbell Scott, Jesse Eisenberg, Isabella Rossellini, Elizabeth Berkley and Jennifer Beals. (Note: for fans of Firefly, there is also…

on lazy Sunday afternoons…

I haven’t really accomplished anything today. I think I have pretty much wasted the entire day. This is saying a lot seeing as how I’m a bum and don’t do much on any other day eitther, but I feel like I have really wasted today. I skipped my workout, and I didn’t get any artwork…

on Spy Kids 3-D and other stuff…

so, I finally went and saw Spy Kids 3-D with beststephi and sui66iy. I won’t go so far as to say it was awful. In fact, I actually enjoyed myself, but without the 3-D gimmick, I think the movie might have in fact been unwatchable. The gimmick was cute, but the film pretty much was…

on not doing what I said I was going to…

So I never got around to seeing Spy Kids 3 (trying for a matinee sometime on Saturday if anyone else is interested). Instead, went shopping with beststephi for nice clothes for her conference next week. While at the mall we were accosted by one of those “hey, wanna take a survey?” type people. We said…

on movies, mocks, memes and mackinaws…

Spy Kids 3-D opens today. I’m a weenie, and IT’S IN 3D!!! Anyone want to go? I’ll of course be at Silky’s later if anyone is looking for me. According to the Airborne Express website, my International Male order should show up today with one of my Jammy Jam outfits and a new tight shirt.…

my life as a wrestler week 2

well, we didn’t get to take pictures for the website this week. Should be doing it next week. I did however do better protecting my neck on the bumps this week though. I feel much better than after last week. Could still do better, I think people think I am hitting my head a lot…

on getting ready to rumble…

Spent the day doing laundry, dishes and working on some of the fundamentals from wrestling class last week. Notably kippups. A basic kippup is when you’re laying on your back and you roll to your shoulders and spring into the air and back to your feet. Several characters in the video game Tekken do this.…

on doing nothing…

Basically haven’t done anything today. This sucks. I need to get out of the house. I spent most of yesterday sleeping off the Nyquil. Took a single dose last night just in case, and now I’m feeling pretty ok. I’m obviously not 100% well, but I’m at the point where I don’t want to be…
