Tapering seems to be working. After a pretty mellow week of training, I had a super swim session this morning. Everything just felt good. I'm not a fast swimmer, but every once in awhile I get into a rhythm where you feel like you are almost flying through the water. It's a nice change from the typical feeling of trying not to sink to the bottom. Hopefully that means I'm ready for the swim. Hey, new emojis!

Ok, the Sonic thing is weird, and what is Jim Carrey doing? I mean, the guy is strange, but all of his movie choices (even though they are few and far between) have been pretty solid. Sure, he isn't for everyone, but he hasn't had a lot of just terrible stuff. There is usually a clear audience, which I fail to see here. Edit: looking closer, it does seem like he has had a couple whiffs lately. Still, hard to imagine this is the guy that became Andy Kaufman.

Every boob is different. This forum is proof of that.

Dragon Quest is super charming. My daughter ended up playing it for a bit as well, so anytime a game can catch her interest, I consider it a win.

Picked up the new Dragon Quest for sale, so I'm excited to dive into that.

That's a classic. Really the only WH game I ever got into. It was one of the few games to get close to that Xcom/Jagged Alliance type gameplay that so many missed the mark on. I'd say Silent Storm was the other contender.

Man, no way I could live without Orange Juice in the morning.

Ironman is less than two weeks aways, and I'm stressing out about tapering. I was out of town this last weekend and didn't get in any long training sessions. I feel like my fitness level is pretty solid, but I'm still worried about the long ride and managing my nutrition. I'd done a bunch of 3-4 hour training sessions, but I'm worried that isn't enough. Most plans call for backing off at this point so the body is rested, but I'd really like to try and put in 5 hours on the bike this weekend. That way I can practice nutrition and get a feel for how being on the bike that long will be. Maybe it is a bad choice, I'm not sure. I also want to get in a two hour run this week, hopefully at race pace, and I need to try and eat during it as well. Basically I'm worried more about food than the exercise.

I went to bed at the 3-0 deficit, but thankfully someone texted me after the first goal, so I got to watch the good stuff. Crazy game! Hockey is so weird.

There is a lot going on. Hey look, a reputation counter!

I'm looking forward to expanding the scope of my thumbs upping. Ironman is about 2 weeks away and I'm freaking out. Also my daughter is turning 12, which is also the level she has turned her teenage angst up to.

I think those crowdfunding movies got around making people pay to appear in their films by giving them producer credits, or something.

Extras usually get some sort of daily stipend.

Overboard (2018) - This was better than I expected. The cast was very solid, and it followed the original closely. I always enjoy Anna Faris, so that is probably a good way to decide if you will like it. I am a huge fan of the original so it was nice to see them pay tribute to it.

I'm not saying they are similar, I'm saying they have little in common with their party's leadership.

I wouldn't really call Bernie a Democrat anymore than I'd call Ron Paul a Republican.

I'm pretty consistent at getting over 7 hours, but typically struggle to sleep more than 8. Since I upped my exercise a ton in the last couple years, I've found my sleep is much higher quality. Like, I wake up feeling the effects of that recovery time, and I'm ready to do stuff. Although a lot of times I fall asleep for an hour and wake up with tightness in the legs, and I'll be covered in sweat. I get up, stretch it out, grab a dry blanket, and fall back to sleep pretty easily. It's weird.

I thought Barr came across very well. I'd like to think this whole thing will be put behind us now, but I'm sure everyone will find a way to spin it to fit their own agenda.

They get double the pay.

Sorry to hear that Malc.

I took the wife to see Shazam! It was a lot of fun, and had some great Tom Hanks Big moments. Bit darker than I expected, so probably best I didn't take the kiddos.

Doesn't seem to be proper footwear or attire for climbing.

What Christians are you referring to? Catholics tend to love their gaudy symbols.

I doubt that cross is entirely gold though.

Yeah, that's a problem with every company that has more than a handful of employees. Communication is difficult, what a revelation!
