Do you know of any site that provides a thorough list of cardio and strength exercises along with proper illustrations or gifs for each? Preferably mentioning which parts of the body are worked? I'd like to switch from videos to an interval timer so I could listen to podcasts or something at the same time. I get…

Fitness Blender is a really good recommendation! Their workouts are uniquely good for the reasons listed up there, and also because they seem like a really nice couple! (Second only on Youtube to Maru and Hana, of course.)

Now that is an unexpected connection! Did that occur to you while watching the movie or while rummaging through the spoils of Troy?

I watched two movies this week. Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter, and Life is a Bed of Roses. I've realised that Hammer horror movies can be summed up with a single shot: horses rearing up. I'm certain every single Hammer horror movie has that identical shaky handheld shot from below of horses rearing up. Even the…

Diskwiss, as usual nobody is signing up for your post-eating club.

I'm so glad you are in Art Club again! Yes, posters are a better idea than a video because people actually stop to look at posters. Where would anyone see a video playing, anyway? Do you know why everyone is leaving the brass band? It sounds to me like SCANDAL. And more important, a new mystery to replace your…

I was certain Brian Blessed had a small part in Excalibur, but now that I've checked I realise I must have been remembering him from Henry V. With an axe, I think, covered in blood and grime and with a terrifying blood lust in his eyes! (That is to say, his usual appearance.)

Also it had the best trio of villains ever assembled in movies or reality! Ming and the generals Kala and Klytus. Von Sydow and Mariangela Melato and Peter Wyngarde are so evilly good! Whoever was casting Dino Delaurentiis' movies at this time really knew what they were doing.

When I was little, decorations wouldn't go up until December 1st, but now that I'm running the show, I dig out the boxes the day after Halloween! Which is a perfect time to dress the house because there is always lots of leftover candy lying around. And yes, the day the decorations go back in the box is the…

I haven't watched anything anti-holiday, since I am entirely pro-holiday. I did consent to take down the tree and decorations, though. Its so gloomy without the lights.

Diskwiss, this is the year you resolve to stop eating posts. So cough up my other post right now!

Happy New Year Claudia! I hope you are having a fun holiday. I had to take down the Christmas decorations, which is always sad, but I consoled myself by afterwards opening my giant Christmas Kinder Egg. My prize was a little blue car that turns into an airplane. Which was a bit odd, usually the Christmas prizes…

Happy New Year Floyd! Hiking through the forest this afternoon I met an unusually well-mannered grouse that I have chosen to read as a good omen for the whole of 2017. Usually those dumb birds just burst suddenly out of the bushes flapping around and freaking me out! But not today. The fowl have spoken, it will be…

Diskwiss, I can just imagine you in 1970 with your sideburns and flared jeans. Because you're still wearing them.

That is an uncomfortable spot for you to be in! I guess its good that your cousins parents are so fond of you they want you to visit. Do you mean you think they want to teach you, like, housekeeper things? I'm thinking of Little House on the Prairie before Laura is married how she is taught all the things she needs…

Diskwiss, I notice you got a new pair of aviator shades for Christmas, just like you do every year.

I love underground shopping! We used to live near an underground concourse that connected part of the downtown. Isn't it the best feeling to get from place to place through tunnels like that? I feel like I'm a rabbit in Watership Down.

Merry Christmas, Diskwiss! I got you a gift card that lets you eat 25 posts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CLAUDIA! Its Christmas here too! Well, technically it is because its after midnight but Santa isn't here yet so I guess its not really Christmas until morning.

The Grinch has two moments of terror for me. The first is obviously his wonderful, awful idea face. I await that moment each year with excitement and horror.
