Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am Iron~ma.

(sorry)

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

Krav can't be harder than gymnastics. Basically because I managed it. But when you get an adrenaline rush off something it makes it a lot easier.

Between K and a kettlebell discussion I had on LJ, I'm very sad about my failing body.

Barb, pulling for liquid form for you. Do you have a reason to think you might not be able to tolerate it.

Got feedback on my two interviews. The one I thought went well...they are a little worried I don't have as much industry-specific knowledge as they'd hoped. And yesterday's trauma? "Definitely still in the running for one of the open positions."

So I have no idea, really. I just want a job. And breakfast--I should see to that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Barb, if you drink your iron supplements with Black Sabbath playing full blast on your stereo, while screaming "I AM IRON (WO)MAN!!", it will actually improve your body's ability to absorb iron. It's a proven fact.

Oh man, I am laughing so hard I'm in tears here. Time to go download some Sabbath I guess. I want the best chances after all.

Anybody else every notice that the voice at the beginning of 'Iron Man' sounds oddly like a heavily medicated Cookie Monster?

Sir, this is such a commonly accepted music fact that most Black Metal vocalists are described as having "cookie monster voice."

Incidentally, this is also a common question by Tom Waits' children: "So were you going for a cookie monster thing on that one, Dad?"

Death-metal vocalizing is also known as Cookie Monster singing, if not in tribute to, at least in acknowledgment of, the "Sesame Street" puppet that blurts in a guttural growl, his words discharged so rapidly that they tend to collide with each other.
