Yes!! That's fantastic. So pleased she did well

Ty sir, ty. Although I think king of RPElf has achieved maximum wokeness in that realm.

TY Rexx!

Sup Yugs.

I really like this guy's videos. Skip to 10:28 for his advice on healthy steps to take care of yourself in the face of an abusive narcissist.

The guy at the front desk said, "Hey, what happened to your face? If I may ask."

I said, "Well, some dummy said the wrong thing...so I threw my face into the pavement."

The release of anxiety from this guy was palpable LOL. He and his coworkers laughed. So I reminded them that even though it wasn't a real fight, I still proved I can take a hit

Watched The Big Sick again this morning. And then watched it again tonight with C. She told me to promise she wouldn't cry, but that's not possible. It's a great movie.

Short rests time have done a lot to help me manage the time I spend in the gym. I had two hours today. It was awesome to think LOL wtf am I going to do for two hours? I'll be done in one.

Supposed to squat a second time today up to 290x3x4, but I was short on time. I stayed up late making a book trailer for one of the last books I edited and slept in. Finished benching, then needed to pick up Leeloo after school. We really cherish those five minutes with her on weekdays. And then the three of us have plans this weekend to watch Halloween and then watch the Halloween-ween-ween sequel (not to be confused with the Halloween-ween sequel).

Sounds fun!

TY Rexx! We are all looking forward to it.

Here is my latest piece of art. A fan trailer for one of the last books I worked on.

Halloween sequel last night was very satisfying. Great writing, great directing choices, great acting. There's one scene in the middle with a babysitter that is off the walls funny, and yet the humor never felt out of place juxtaposed against intense horror.

I tried watching H20 going into this and it was AWFUL. I couldn't finish it. Curious if we'll look back on this sequel in 20 years and think the same. I'm a little shocked that H20 was so bad given that it was written by Kevin Williamson, the same screenwriter behind Scream, which is still an indelible classic imo. But perhaps the secret sauce with Scream and now Halloween (2018) is the directors. Scream was directed by Wes Craven, a master of horror, and Halloween (2018) was directed by David Gordon Green, both lauded auteurs and masters of their craft.

Weighted dips

That's not a typo, bois. We potentially have a BW dip on the table. Too soon to call Guinness?

Dips with bodyweight hanging from body? That reminds of the legendary S&Fer known as cobrastatus. RIP.

High praise from before my time.

Were his bitties tigger than mine, though?

One must do actual lifting (wl ldo) to achieve true cobro status. Our hero prob has the heart, but lacks the requisite mobility. Can't use PL ROM tricks to get a bar over your head! There is still time FB. I believe in you.

I read/watched the black panther, neo and empathy articles, really good stuff.

Can't do dips without a good arch

TY!!! High praise from a film snob of your caliber

To break up all the feelgood in here:




I don't get it, at all. Filled to the absolute brim with cliches. Incredibly predictable. Meh acting. Very progressive though, yay! Solid 6/10 4/10.

Other than Michael B Jordan I thought it was meh too. And he over acted like crazy. Looks excellent shirtless though

Yeah man, I almost drooled myself. You can imagine the state of my gf.
