Uh, the original, I believe - from 1982.
Didn't realise there was a remake, but now you mention it I may have read something about that somewhere.

I think the original was from the ’50s. But yeah, that movie is really good. I unfortunately saw it when I was too young to appreciate anything other than the “I know you guys have been through a lot but I don’t want to spend the rest of this Winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!” line, which is sad because as a psychological horror it is pretty damn good.

The remake I think is set in the Swedish Norwegian camp in the movie,, and I’m intrigued but not actually willing to spend pennies on acquiring, ‘cause I’m a skinflint.

Also, drugs are bad, mm’kay? All of them. Cannabis, caffeine, paracetamol, penicillin. Just don’t do any of them.

That includes the ones your own body makes. Y’all are filthy junkies. Even if I am amused by the Basqueman’s attempts to educate dragdeler when dragdeler doesn’t really want to engage.

I’ve also noticed I like referring to people by where they come from. Is that weird? I think it’s weird. Evidently I’m worried someone will think I’m racist or something.

Nah, it's okay, but I believe their preferred term is basquito

It's not racist, the Basque don't actually exist.

Everything is arbitrary if you think about it.

Go for 300? Y/N?

310 pushups today. I'm a... A... Fuck idk, I can do a lot of pushups and stuff.

My arms feel noticeably more defined.

[Max™]

Resist the urge to start doing silly shit like handstand pushups, the wrist strain vs potential workout from bodyweight is a garbage tradeoff. I used to enjoy walking on my hands a lot, then I started noticing I'd wake up in the morning and I could just roll them back and forth to produce an audible KRPOP so I stopped doing that so much.

Same with pushups, after a while you're only really getting tiny amounts of muscle building vs joint and tendon stresses because it's easy to trivialize bodyweight for lots of workouts, but you can do stuff like freeweights, pulley resistance, and so forth to go after parts of those muscle groups which just kinda sit around being bored during pushups. Used to have a fairly obvious pigeon-chest so I set about figuring out how to cover it with muscle when I was really young, got normal looking pecs now but I had to move to weights to actually build them out enough to get there since I wasn't heavy enough for pushups to do shit despite doing all the different stances, centered together, way out past shoulder width, above or below my shoulder height, was nice arm work for a while but that don't help with the sternum bumps dammit!

I did get a bit of a noticeable gain for a while when I was doing those uh, the fucking weird marine ones where you go from like a yoga pose with your ass up and legs straight then slide forward like you're going under a low bar and pressing your torso back towards vertical with your hips down low at the end before reversing... can't remember the name, sunrises or sunups or some shit maybe?

Gotta do them slow as you can manage without shaking and it's a pretty awesome exercise to toss in there.

Now I'm happy I can relax and maintain the shit I built up as a nutty kid and teenager.

Spoiler: Plus use them in new and interesting ways, steady speed and precisely directed force is incredibly important when rasping, filing, and scraping. (click to show/hide)

I'm not feeling utterly shattered today.

The mirtazapine I've been on for a few days now has been really fucking with my ability to stay awake. The fact that my body seems to be adapting pretty quickly is nice.

[Iduno]

My anti-anxiety medication's side effect has a hard counter in the form of caffeine.

Evidently it somehow fucks with the adenine receptors in my brain, or causes it to overproduce adenine, or something. Regardless, the caffeine's stopping me from feeling knackered.

Yeah, caffeine is pretty much just "a bit more anxiety than you already had, so now you're awake-ish". Even for people without weird brain stuff going on.

Missing puppy was found and sent home safely. I am relieved!

[scriver]

There was a wasp on the cork of my drinking bottle when I reached for it, be she was very polite and didn't sting me even though I panicked a bit when she crawled over to my hand (which was when I noticed her) so I gave her some honey and water and put her back outside. It's pretty nightly outside so I hope it's not too cold for her to make it back to wherever she stays.

Yeah, I'm only still doing absurd amounts of pushups because I haven't got freeweights yet. I'll still do some after I get weights but just enough for minor cardio and to keep form. And I just do plain, shoulder width, ninety degree then raise pushups. No fancy shit. I need muscle fast, not a circus routine.
