so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men’s workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.

they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he’d printed.

I said “what” and he explained, helpfully, “it’s a William Carlos William themed workout.” I asked what inspired it and he said “I’ve been planning this for months.”

[every-lemon]

it was a smash hit.

a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.

he was home by 6:30am.

I'm taking time to relax from my animation job by animating. Really really loved In stars and time Siffrin is an incredibly compelling little gremlin! Their breathing gets brought up so much that yknow, this just popped into my head and refused to leave

24 hours, 8 chapters and 46 levels into a FFXV replay I can’t anymore

This franchise has grabbed me by the ankles and is dragging me under

“i should take a walk for my mental health” boring, tired, i don’t even really wanna do it tbh

“i need to check the perimeter” i need to check the perimeter

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

[sashayed]

still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah

... did this start out as a class project? no, he said "months," not "years." But I swear to you I had a student create a poetry-themed workout routine as his final project in my English class right at the start of the pandemic. So if he in fact did do a version of this originally for an English class, tell him his confused but supportive American Lit teacher says hello. And if not, this is apparently a rare but actual Type of Guy.

[every-lemon]

no, my spouse is older — he was also a teacher during the start of the pandemic.

which means we have, indeed, identified a Type of Guy!

the term "camera dolly" is fun it always makes me think of a little doll holding a camera thats at least over half its size

Close enough welcome back Chekov's gun.

Prev you can’t bury this in your own tags

[hope-chest-resources]

ID: A screenshot of tags left on the tumblr post. They read "#it's actually kind of a reverse Chekhov's Gun #Chekhov's Gun says "If there is setup there must be payoff" #Asimov's Tail says "if there is payoff there must be setup" #and I think the tail is also important #a tail is not something you'd expect to see on a character unless explicitly pointed out #someone stepping on the tail not only reveals its existence but also tells us things about it #eg it's floor length sensitive and the character either can't or won't keep it out of the way of foot traffic #the upshot seems to be "acclimatise your audience to things they don't understand before you use them" #you don't need to explain how a gun on the mantelpiece works in the same way you need to explain how your protagonist's tail does" End ID.
