:: the truth is rarely pure and never simple ::

It was very much a Monday yesterday.

Went to the gym and was waving my phone at the scanner to get in, and each time I tried the door, was denied access. At which point, the receptionist pointed out my phone was the wrong way around, and I was scanning myself.

Then the lady from class I know came over for a chat as I was cooling down on the recumbent bike, and because I was distracted I missed the workout finished screen so didn't get to scan and log it. 40 tracked minutes, gone!

Good thing though, Kayleigh and Lucy are thinking about joining the gym, and if they say I referred them I'll get two free months on my account which will be a big help.

We've been to the cinema three times since I last posted, The Ballad of Wallis Island, was much better than I expected. Jurassic World Rebirth was entertaining enough, though had a very flimsy plot, and then Superman, which I loved! With Superdog being a highlight ♥

Sadly, the cinema etiquette for Superman was the worst I've seen for a while, with three girls in the row in front snap chatting and talking throughout, while the young couple on the couch next to mine were very irritating, loudly smacking kisses on each other, the girl getting up three different times for food, then dropped something so that they were both scrabbling around on the floor, and at one point, the guy actually vaped in his seat.

But this was balanced out by the young boy and his dad on the couch, the other side of us. I was a bit dubious if he'd last the whole film, but he was entranced the whole way through, exclaiming out loud with excitement at various points, which is noise I don't mind at all.

I was thrilled to see that Ted Lasso season four is filming, though am sad that it seems some of the main cast won't be appearing. I guess it makes sense if they're going to focus on the ladies team, but I do hope some missing cast do pop up on occasions. Especially Jamie, though if he doesn't, in my mind, he's still happily living with Keeley and Roy.

Of course, this led me to want another series rewatch, but as I can't, instead I've been watching a Jamie fanvid I love as it shows his character growth beautifully. It was misbegotten who linked me to it, and since then I've watched lots.

I was at the gym this morning using the lat pull down machine that's in the free weight section. I'd done two reps when one of the muscle guys came over and said he'd noticed I was using a narrow grip, and he thought a different attachment would work better for me. ( Read more... )



Challenge #4

Fun House
Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.
Creative: Write from the perspective of a house or other location.

These guys, MCR! I've been enjoying watching footage and seeing new photos from their concert so much. My love isn't as intense as it was in my height of bandom days, but it's still there, and I still think Mikey is hot like fire.

Seeing him with his bro, how happy he looked throughout that surreal, weird and yet awesome show, well it made me smile, too. Also, comments from Gabe and Travis on Mikey's Insta post, it was like being thrown back in time in the best way.

So, lets go old skool and have a top ten plus four picspam. ( behind here )
