Guy Pearce
13 years ago
I was so taken with the TED talk teaser trailer for Prometheus that I dug into Guy Pearce a bit and the man seems to be quite a talented actor. I picked up a horror he's in called... what was it... Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Looks like something of a hokey creature feature but it has the air of a movie built more on suspense than gore so I should enjoy it.
Beyond the Veil IS moving forward... at a steady clip believe it or not. DT and I are working on the next several pages to set up a buffer and we're going over the overarching plot, talking pretty much daily as she squeaks in work for me between her day job and familial obligations. She's serious about this comic and so am I; I'm actually pleased that lately she seems if anything more enthused than I am (though that could be just because between the job, new work-out schedule and lack of sleep I'm just weary all the time). Her enthusiasm is very catchy and I've been cranking on the plot points and major character developments I want to work into the story. We talked it over and one of the things she urged me to do (which I have agreed to) is to write the story for BtV in a novel format and she will storyboard it off the written work as well as talking over the translation from text to pretty pictures. This means among other things that I will at one point or another collect all my notes from the beginning of the comic and write THAT portion as well. Who knows, if there's interest I may post it in sections in the BtV forums.
Kuwait is warming up rapidly now... getting to the point where I break a sweat just walking to the chow hall and that's on night shift.
What else is troubling me... well, nothing really... though I have noticed three weeks in to a new bodybuilding routine that my left arm is about a quarter inch smaller cold than my right. Gives out several reps early on curls and shoulder exercises... will have to spend extra time on it to bring it up to speed, so to speak. I've put about 3/4 of an inch on both arms since I started, but that kind of rapid progress is easy at the beginning and going from 14 to 15 inch arms has been much easier than going from 15 to 16 will be.
I've been slacking a bit on my legs but that ends tomorrow, and of course my best feature (chest) is responding well; I'm back up to pushing 225 for 3 on the bench. Will also be starting some forearm specific exercises next week because my grip is failing me on several exercises that I could otherwise put more weight into or do more reps with, most notably the hanging leg-raise. It's been recommended that I get straps but I really don't want to have to rely on them this early... I'd rather let my grip fail than risk a weight that could damage my core before I'm ready for it. Most of the major compound exercises (squat, deadlift, bench) I've either not been doing at all or put at the very end of my workout so I literally can't try pushing my limits.
My back is also responding well, which pleases me a great deal because a broad back with good definition is just sexy to me. I'm actually surprised at how much I enjoy working my back now; the lingering soreness feels AWESOME and gives me an excuse to stretch big and often.
I want to really press forward this year and reach one of my long-time goals, a 300 pound benchpress. That will blow the traditional 2/4/6 ratio out of the water (since I can already do over 200 on the bench, but nowhere near a 400 deadlift or a 600 squat) but who cares, I'll fill in the gaps eventually (no one likes chickenlegged bodybuilders. ;p). The goal is almost laughable when one of my longtime friends (who granted has been bodybuilding ten years) puts up 500 and has 18 inch guns cold in the morning. Oh well. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is an enviable body, but I have made considerable progress on the latter. I'll let Italy fend for itself. :P
Another side-effect of the new regimen is that I've gained about ten pounds back, not ALL of it fat but most because I simply do not have the time to work in two daily workouts on a schedule that includes 14 hour days five days a week. Still, with Confuzzled at the end of the month and me wanting to look my best (even if I've no real expectations of the con I try not to go out in public looking like a slob) I may try and work in a twenty minute run in the mornings or something. I've also been cheating on my diet weekends, which of course will not be happening THIS month, because now that Warren is gone (long story short, good friend left Kuwait) I won't be eating out every weekend to celebrate his good fortune in escaping this hellish sandtrap of a country anymore.
I've written a couple fetish pieces for the alternate account on the weekends, and gotten thoroughly hooked on a F2P game called Super Monday Night Combat.
If you're still reading I commend your dedication to the irrelevant details of what is in essence currently a very boring life. I'm exhausted, just waiting to put the clothes in the drier so I can rack out. As a reward (sort-of) for sticking with me this long... here is a short clip from Ahnold that I absolutely LOVE for a few reasons, but my favorite has to be his feelings on getting a pump... you'll just have to watch and trust me, if you don't either nod in agreement or laugh out loud... well, um... there's just no hope for you.

OP
Naw, like I said, I've put about ten pounds back on and most of that's right around the gut. I'm thicker up top, there's no real difference appearance-wise. Besides, you date a fcking model. What do you need to see ME for?
