Off the strip though, you'll find and endless morass of broken dreams and lost fortunes. My kinda place, yes, but probably not so good for my sense of optimism.
Fuck it.
Friday half-assed training:
Coach was like, "Oh good you have shaken off the wodka [sic]? Okay time to train!" Actually forget the sic. It's wodka from now on.
Snatch:
40kgx3x3
50kgx3xwhatever
CJ:
60kgx3x3
70kgx3xwhocares
Pause squat:
140kgx2,3 Very heavy for no reason. Will never do 200, much less 230. Time to quit lifting and just E&P full time. Am I a Corrie or a Dastardly?
Has anyone heard of someone taking up smoking at age 29, knowing full well the health consequences and way too old to be under the influence of peer pressure? Well, now you have. Well, virtually, anyway. The groom got us all these honkin' fancy e-cigs as gifts for being on his wedding party, and insisted that we try them out right then and there. I'm finding that nicotine sure does take the edge off, and some of this shit is tasty, too. We're all going to die anyway, right?
Saw The Martian with CG. Mandatory comparisons to Gravity and Interstellar: it's all the good of both movies, none of the bad, and Matt Damon joins the ranks of Hugh Jackman, Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, etc. in the Sexy Middle-Aged Bods of Hollywood club. More seriously, the whole thing is a huge celebration of brainpower, a surprisingly comical two-hour romp of smart nerds kicking ass at jobs that can only be performed by smart nerds, and in the process (almost) literally making the world go round. On several occasions, CG actually stuck a fist out for a bump and whispered, "Science, bitch. Our people." Towards the end, I started genuinely hoping that if enough people saw this, it might finally put a speedbump on the anti-intellectualism that has quietly poisoned our national fabric.......which might in turn allow me to use my job as a pickup line at last??? A world in which the nerds and the arrogant douchebags are one and the same? Ahh one can dream.
