Seriousy, they're going to make you chase them down for every single step at the gender clinic? Why?
Glad brunch was nice.
Two pages of comics! Cool! Are you going to share samples?
The Worst Beard?
Sorry things are crap right now.
Maybe you need to do fewer reps at the higher weight until you get your muscles built up? Heavier weights are supposed to build more muscle even if you cut down the reps. (I am on travel in a hotel that has a gym consisting entirely of exercise bikes, treadmills, and stair-steppers, so I am currently lifting an unknown weight of Stuff Crammed Into My Backpack for improvised curls.)
Also I reread Big Sur whatever the magical number of times is that results in discovering the passage where Kerouac remembers a young Neal Cassady being all "How about we become double husbands to a giant mixed-gendered harem for bisexual orgies, and call ourselves, I mean ourself, because we will merge into the same person, by a single mixed name?" (Kerouac said this expressed an innocent, angelic kind of love, because "I have crossed beyond considerations of merely boning you and wish to merge into a single person with you" is his idea of innocent.)
JESUS WEPT how did he not notice how astronomically a) mental and b) gay that was.
[Also that's hella classical, I seem to recall Alexander and Hephaistion were big on the idea of creating a mixed version of themselves by virtue of forcing their kids to marry or something]
Yeah, reading Kerouac is an interesting blend of gay subtext (like the bit in Big Sur where Kerouac is all "That woman looks uncannily like this guy I know!" and immediately hops into bed with her while calling her that guy's name), gay text, gay-removed-by-the-editor (the original On The Road has an early bit where Kerouac is sulking because Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg aren't paying attention to him as they're banging each other like big queer bunnies). But that bit was so far beyond gay I don't think they even have words for it yet.
is your living room significantly greener because of an influx of green growing things (including but not limited to more marimo :D ), or did you paint? or both!
i'm with wolfy-writing - the clinic really wants you to work for your medical care, don't they. :|
how long is the comic project going to be?
someday the worst beard will no longer be the worst! it will be a better beard. :D
I bought fake grass carpet and have been aggressively acquiring pretend plants. We already have A Lot of real plants, and my ivy that Jess has adopted is getting... rambunctuous, shall we say.
The comic is destined for 12 pages of 6 panels. And to be horrendous, which I don't care about. We all know I cannot draw.
Generally I have strong negative feelings regarding beards, but yours makes me want to shout 'fuck yeah!'. Which would be fine if I wasn't in the college library.
* Abject failure to complete any workouts since rejigging them/changing the weights. ONWARDS. KEEP TRYING. (I have discovered an improvement to my form for squats at least).
Maybe switch out of circuits and do classical weight training (so, like, three sets of each exercise with 6-12 reps per set with rest between each set and exercise type). And remember to add in a little more rest if muscle growth is your aim! There are varying schools on this, but 30-90s is a good range.
You can alter the plates on those, right? I recommend temporarily decreasing the weights, to something that you can do comfortably for at least six reps (with the last rep being a bit difficult), over three sets. Save the fancy 1 rep maxing for when you've built up a strength base.
Decrease in increments of ten percent to see what works for you!
I have a problem, at 10kg per hand they're manageable but it feels a little... too manageable. At 12.5kg they're murder. I can't actually get them to 11kg because of the plate sizes.
