After a week off

I took last week off because of all the sleep disturbance, somehow my nervous system gets really cranked up when I do a lot of heavy (for me) lifting and anaerobic work. I still went to class because there is another belt test coming up.

Am learning huge amounts in Instructor Foxy’s skills class even though he nearly killed us by letting a free-sparring round go for like five minutes. Eats were fine and even though I didn’t lift or fast I seem to have lost a pound! If anything I’ve increased the amount I eat because I added a half to whole avocado per day. Hooray for fat!

And now for a movie review!
“Doomsday” is an exciting stylish train wreck of the favorite Futuristic Dystopia movies of the last 30 years. We start out in “28 Days Later”, morphing into “Escape from New York”. After a little “Land of the Dead”, the situation rapidly degenerates into a Galliano fashion show and a scene from “Silent Hill”. Who needs "Soylent Green" when you can cut out the middleman? Here comes Sci-Fi Channel presents “Robin Hood”! Here comes "V for Vendetta!" Now let's top off this flaming wreck with a big chase scene a la Mad Max.

And did I say, "gory"? Exploding bunnies! Flattened cows! Smooshed punk rockers! Apparently in the future our couture choices will be either punk-inspired or medieval. I guess it’s good this all went down in the UK, because if you did it in the States our choices would be Crips-inspired couture vs. the Pilgrims. “Run! It’s Cain’s Executioner!” would be a lot less impressive if he looked like the Quaker Oats guy. In short, the perfect date movie...um, for ME =P.

Tips for future dystopians:

• When building an impenetrable tank, go for the shatterproof windshield
  
• If someone on the roof of your car is trying to kill you, roll up the windows
• When you’re really really angry, take a deep breath and scream, “Blah!”
