I was really glad they went with Green fire for this scene. It was a spectacular…SPECTACULAR explosion. Just…fantastic.

Really glad to see this online somewhere. I’ve heard bits of Avicii’s set from EDC NY and it was pretty amazing. I’m going to have to check for the rest of the sets too!

Vincent Van Gogh
So… have I been saying Van Gogh wrong? Phonetically I say it Van Go. But Brits say Van Goff. W t h?
Gym Clothes
Went to the gym tonight. If I might ask something of women in the gym …?
Please wear a sports bra. And/or shorts that aren’t entirely see through.
I’m all for women taking control of their sexuality and all that. In fact, I’m a big fan of aggressive women in general. However, there’s a time and place for everything. The gym is not the place to dress in that fashion.
My lizard brain enjoyed it though.
I did the impossible. I made a scary manequin look even more terrifying. (Taken with picplz.)
Pretty cool imho!

ZOINKS!
So I’ve been playing around with Fitocracy for quite awhile now. I’ve improved in my strength training but don’t seem to have really lost weight or inches.
That’s for another time anyway.
What I’m doing now is joining this group called ZOINKS!
Zombie Outbreak Incident Neutralization & Kill Squad
What it is is a group on Fitocracy with people that like to have challenges to push them harder. Membership in the group is not guaranteed and each month there is one mandatory challenge to be completed (or you’re removed from the group w/o an option to come back for six months) as well as two other challenges to help goose people towards fitness goals.
My favorite part is the writing. A few of us are currently working on what we’re affectionately calling: “Choose. Own Your Adventure” stories. Its a play on the Choose Your Own Adventure books we read when we were younger.
Basically what we’re going to do is write stories that every member of the group is going to take part in each month. The story is going to go hand in hand with whatever the mandatory challenge is (and maybe the others) to give people more than just a: “Go do push-ups” kind of experience.
So for the next few months I’m going to be writing zombie stories for the entertainment of a few hundred people!
We’re living in exciting times, y’all!
Crossfit Competition
So I watched some of the Crossfit on ESPN this weekend and all I kept thinking (after, holy shit these women have great musculature) is that the form for the exercises was so poor I could barely stand to watch!
Burpees where they de-load at the bottom on every rep. Push-ups that look more like the old “worm” dance move. Pull ups with so much kipping…ugh.
Its great that people are getting into fitness and blah blah blah but jaysus! Poor form will only lead to injury. Not to mention that they basically cheat their muscles out of full work.
