Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was mostly amused by the Dragon*Con costumes. A lot of them did seem to be excuses to wear as little as possible without getting arrested ... with mixed results (the guys wearing "300" imitations really shouldn't have - really). There was a costume at the end of that series of photos that was all blue-green and peacock feathers that I thought was very attractive.

Teppy, that one exercise you linked to (facing into a corner) is one my PT recommended for when I'd been hunched over a keyboard for too long. It's really good for those days when my back is hurting right between the shoulder blades.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Note to self: go back to these stretchy posts when not consumed by stupid work.

Oh, but their helmets were KFC buckets, and their shields were pizza boxes! That was hilarious!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

There was a guy dressed in brown cardboard boxes, kind of shredded at the bottom, and carrying a gun. Written on one of the boxes was "Chew-box-a."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dana, shrift - I also apologize if I sounded like I was dissing on Dragon*Con.

is ashamed

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Check the stretches on this page--you don't want to focus on just one set of muscles.

You know that thing where you go somewhere for advice, and then you're weirdly disappointed that you've been doing it right all along? That's how I felt when I read the strength exercise regimens on that website. But on the other hand, at least I know how to work out!

Mmmm, stretchy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love exrx.net. I go there first for muscle names, standard exercises, and stretches.

Not that I, ahh, exercise these days. And if I did it'd be kettlebell. But the site's a very useful reference nonetheless.

Punishingly Intricate

hah! YES! like, maybe you're hoping for a new nugget of wisdom that will somehow make what you are trying to do instantly possible or magically easier or whatever?

(It's why I keep asking people and looking up stuff about how to do crow pose.)
