reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

ok thanks for the info wiki

Hey Paul!

It brings me comfort that, for a brief moment, Jared Leto genuinely believed Christian Bale was going to kill him with an axe

One of the exercises I do often at the gym is to pick up a ten kilo plate incorrectly, realise I can't put it down properly, and also realise if I lose my grip I will shatter my foot so I better hold it REAL GOOD in this stupid way.

I call it "Flirting With the Devil" and no one should do it.

your archers should also look like they are regularly doing 80lb loads on the fly machine because that's what drawing a bow is. they can skip leg day but all those lithe and willowy elf archers should have tits that could crack a walnut.

Good news everyone I have accidentally discovered the stupidest fucking conceivable way to make myself to do chores

It goes like this…..

-

My car: *low gas light on*

Me: I mean, I COULD stop at the gas station on the way home… OR! I could just NOT do that and deal with it tomorrow

Me: but what if I get stuck in a time loop starting tomorrow and every day I wake up and my car is on empty that would be so annoying

Me: uggghhh FINE I will stop at the gas station.

****LATER THIS EVENING:****

My sink: *has all my bowls and tea mugs in it*

Me: okay I don't actually care about this problem for tonight I am not planning on eating soup or tea

Me: …yeah but if i do end up being stuck in a time loop starting tomorrow it is going to SUCK to have only dirty tea cups in the morning forever

Me: uuuuughhhh okay clean sink it is

-

I hate this. My brain must have an extremely low opinion of me to even try it, and it worked.

But hey, I don't have to try to remember to leave 5 min early tomorrow for a gas run?

Stop everything:

You had NO idea how great an earthworm's mouth actually is

And guess the FUCK what:

You can BUY this.

FROM the original photographer.

For only $32 HERE.

I cropped it in a little closer but it's bigger than this. It's a bigger picture of this worm. And you can buy it from the guy. You can have this worm framed on your wall if you want.

The closest man has ever looked at a worm's joy. The rapturous delight that is the face a billion billion of them have right now because they just found out....there's more dirt

Hands down my fave thing about hurricane season is when zoos put their birds in the bathroom to protect them from the wind and we get images like this

Just in regards to the ADHD thing, I don't even know if that's a thing.

Trying to get in to see a psych to find out. Am I just self diagnosing and trying to find something to pin my problems on instead of putting the work on? Am I so uncomfortable with being uncomfortable I need to find mythical problems? Am I just being a hypochondriac who is bad at responsibility?

Anyway! Who knows. Could be either thing. In the meantime, planning out my day and having snacks almost constantly is very helpful and makes me feel a lot better.

[kram-ulfur]

Thinking about my relationship with good a lot.

I always thought I was a stress/emotional eater but then I started working with someone to treat that and realised that wasn't the problem at all. Maybe I have that thing where people never felt full? No not that either.

Do I not like healthy food? No, I love it. Do I eat when I'm bored? Sort of but I eat a lot when I'm working on stuff too.

Someone brought up the possibility of ADHD and eating because I crave stimulation, which would explain why I don't snack constantly when I'm really enjoying something or focusing on a task I enjoy.

I wish I didn't do this but I've tried to start working with it and it's been really helpful. I brought carrots into work, lollipops, a range of gums, things to keep my mouth busy and I'm so much less distracted? It's wild.

I think I have to treat eating calorie-dense, protein low foods as something like sleeping or video games. I enjoy it a lot, it's important to my life enjoyment, but I can't do it all the time.

It's a little shift but it's been helping.

I don't even know what my goals are anymore. Nothing is really wrong but I want to tweak my life to be easier and more fun.
