Still at it. Conditioning is improving. Adjusted my weight lifting to accommodate the training and that helped a lot. I'm at the lowest bodyweight I've ever been as an adult, at age 46. Still looking to lose about 9kg over the next 5 months though, and well on track for that.
I started training Muay Thai this month, and it is the most humbling experience. I've been lifting weights for years and thought I had gotten into pretty good shape, but that illusion has been completely shattered. I'll stick with it and hope that my conditioning improves but wow, it's hard.

RINGU is such a weird snapshot of the 90’s - vhs, Polaroids, Hiroyuki Sanada looking like a twink instead of a daddy, fax machines, total absence of cell phones, the weird focus on psychic phenomenon... #thelastdrivein

@joshruben.bsky.social I’m nobody, but I had to ping you to say Heart Eyes was awesome. It’s really nice to watch a slasher where you don’t hate everyone on the screen, and none of the kills feel like cop outs. Really great job.

Watching LITTLE BITES tonight on @shudder.com. There’s a lot going on just in the casting of this film and that’s enough to keep it interesting at least. #horror

I've got a questionable habit of binging through bad horror movie franchises. In the last year I've gone through all of the Critters, Toxic Avengers, Children of the Corns, and One Missed Calls, and most of the Amityvilles. I've really gotta stop doing this to myself.

Up to 5 unassisted pull-ups now at 235lbs body weight. That seemed impossible two years ago.

I really need to go back to giving games a chance instead of just playing the same thing all the time. I gave CITIZEN SLEEPER a shot today, and I'm completely hooked. It's a great scifi story, and the game mechanics are just enough to keep me engaged.

Woot woot, confirmed for the network test of Nightreign. Looking forward to seeing how it works in practice because a lot of that trailer looked pretty bizarre.

Suzuki is right, but also, it'd be great if Matheson would stop taking useless shots and creating turn overs. The OT loss was really not 8's fault, but the shot-into-the-shins-to-turnover thing is happening so much that it's turning into a meme at this point.
#Habs Nick Suzuki came to bat for Mike Matheson: "he plays the hardest minutes on our team against the toughest players. Defense is a position where mistakes get blown up out of proportion; he's been our top D for the whole season & people are definitely being too hard on him."

The opening track from Avatarium's new album is fucking great. Perfect doom metal track.

Being caught up on work today is freaking me out a little. I can't even remember the last time I didn't have a fire to put out or otherwise have a stack of urgent to-dos. I might actually be able to work on professional development stuff for once.

Calculating whether I have enough in the tank to do my cardio after deadlift day. Got vaxxed on Wednesday and it’s kicking my ass.

It's wild to see something like what went down in DC yesterday, log on to a news app (specifically, Apple News+) and see absolutely no mention of it in any headlines there.

Well, this is a terrible period of hockey for my Habs. Ridiculous number of penalties and ONE shot on net (which happened to go in at least). They better come back chastened in the 2nd. #gohabsgo

I spent about two hours yesterday just flipping through used records. It is so ridiculously relaxing to just physically browse like that. I didn't end up getting anything for myself, but my wife found something dear to her, and the kids got banh mi and milk tea after, so a nice afternoon for all.

I finally, FINALLY got myself a decent turntable and set up my sound system. My amp and speakers had been in storage since 2005!

This week is the last on my current bulking workout program. I put on about 10lbs over 11 weeks, and my scale says better than half of that is muscle. Gonna do a six week cut next and see how I feel. 3300cal -> 2200cal

Something I started doing a couple of months ago is watching anime while I do my cardio. Currently finishing up Summer Time Rendering and other than some very cringey fan service I’m enjoying it a lot!

So far all I’ve played in 2025 is Satisfactory and POE2. Gonna get back on Metaphor soon.

First workout of the year in the bag. Bench press day, hit 163lbs x 7 on my top set. That’s a volume PR at least so a good start. One of my goals is to be well past 225lbs 1RM by the end of the year. It’s not gonna be easy!
