TAN # 192 - A unique welTANschauung (Page 58)

Once I get my ego battered and accept that I'll never VQ/KQ, I'll probably do the same and return to the gym.  I miss lifting like that and getting big.  Until then, however, I'm giving this tri thing a shot as best I can to see what I can do.

Funny, I'm pretty sure I won't be asked to babysit either... no matter if they're old enough to dial 911 or not.   

fun fact.  I think they do say that for acting.  But for dance, saying "break a leg" is BAD mojo.  So they say "merde" (which is a bad word en francais).

It's funny that you say that, because as I was typing his name, Tropic Thunder was the ONE exception that I could think of, hehe!   

Though, I still think he was the same old him, it's just that costume throwing us off

...and the really bad dance moves.

It was a sneak attack. Just wait til I do it at 10am.

That isn't typical Tom?

Did a little searching/reading today.... based upon what I feel, I think it is more the Peroneal Tendon.  Pain comes and goes... I have times where I can barely put weight on the foot, others where I suddenly feel like I could go running right now, so I'm thinking it might be getting hung up on something in there, or something.

Nothing to do but RICE, I guess.   Good thing running is my strongest sport right now and I can afford to miss a little time from it (comparatively, anyway).

Well, it is strange for a movie of his to bomb... I'll give ya that

That other thing sounds normal for him.

Well, after a nice long commute back to the salt mine, I finally made it. 

More importantly, What have I missed today?  Anything good?

Of all the best picture nominations, I have seen about half.

Argo
Amour
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Misérables
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty

I have Argo, Les Mis, and SLP at home to watch and Plan to go see Django this week.  To be honest, I never even HEARD of Amour and Beasts.  I'm not in the mood to even see Pi, probably wait for Redbox or HBO.

But of the ones I have seen, it's a toss up between Lincoln and Argo with a close runner up in Les Mis.  I guess it depends if you into musicals or not.

I'm in the same boat, planning on starting INSANITY on next Monday.  We'll see where that goes but from what I've seen so far it seems pretty doable.

Not worth mentioning.

What's Argo like?  I've heard a few people mention it, but I don't know that I've even seen a trailer for it.  I want to see Pi in 3D for the visuals alone.  It looks incredible.

Django is a fun movie.  

I really want to do insanity.  I have that and P90x and a couple others bootlegged on my laptop.  But my left knee disagrees with me.  Too much triathlon has injured it.

Hey Ken.  Was talking about beautiful Iowa today at lunch and moreso, Davenport. 

Whats new

Argo is fantastic.  True story that was declassified.  COOL story, funny moments from the John Goodman and movie producer characters.  Intense and stressful.  Plus you can't beat the 70's/80's clothes and hair...

I PROMISE you would like it.

"Tom Cruise?  Same character in every movie.  His characters differ very little from Top Gun to Mission Impossible.... it's just his style"

Maybe people are finally tired of this.

Don't do it bro. Jason maybe because he looks like a different body type, but Jim, I've done that a few times and it doesn't work out well. You put on bulk, then you can't take it off when you want to get back to tri stuff...

ETA: Insanity is a different story. But free weights, heavy lifting, I'd stay away.

A friend of mine from college is one of the background exercisers (not really sure what else to call them) on the insanity videos.  He, along with about 20 others told me that I should give it a shot.  I finally took them up on the offer since I am a bit disgruntled with the cost and overcrowding of the tri's in my area.  Time for something new!

I'm actually hoping for exactly that problem.  I tend to be on the thin side (read this as fat Kenyan) and don't really "bulk up" very well.

I've heard Lincoln is worth 2-3 viewings. And Argo looks like a great story.

I want to see Les Mis (loved the book and my favorite musical), and J is willing to go with, but I don't know if I can do that to him. Heard lots of men say it was torturous. :/

Ummm...yeah. Can you tell I haven't seen many movies lately?

You're soft thats all.
