#Quotable Monday

[apatosaurus]

This is a post about exercise.

With the weather changing, my routines are changing, but I hope to stay active. I don’t know if I’m getting stronger or if I have more stamina. I don’t think I look different. Moving around and doing something for myself feels good. Also, the gamification on Apple Fitness is compelling. I am a little concerned by how well the gamification works on me. But at the moment I think those powers are being used for good.

Monday, I had a lot of work to do in the garden, so I set my workout timer to “other” and went about bending and hauling and lunging for almost two hours. I wasn’t able to also get in a dance workout for International Dance Day, which I was a little sad about, but I am glad I prioritized the things I did. I thought I would be sore the next day, but I wasn’t, so either exercise is helping or I didn’t work as hard as I thought.

Tuesday I got back to dancing. Dance Trainer LaShawn is back. They have been having trainers for other sports join Jhon and Ben in dance workouts, which has been neat. I don’t know why LaShawn was out, it’s none of my or any of our business. I’m glad she is back. The International Dance Day workout got a bunch of trainers in the room arranged in three chorus lines led by LaShawn, kind of like the Yoga Day workout they did a year or two ago. It was kind of weirdly emotional, which goes to show how good Apple is at arranging human experiences to keep you coming back.

Yesterday was nice weather and I had some flexibility in my schedule, so I did this week’s Time to Walk with marine biologist Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson. It was just the thing for half an hour. I wonder if there was a transcript, she said some quotable things. I tried listening to the Dolly Parton Time to Walk a few weeks ago, but maybe my headphones were glitchy or maybe the workout didn’t download properly, but the audio kept cutting out. Maybe it works better to stick to the top of the stack. While I was on my walk, I took some pictures. I’ll post those in a bit.

Monday, October 28th, 2024.

Do you have any big plans for November? I don't have any big plans. It's pretty much just gonna be "the usual." Animal shelter. Trips to the Mountain Park (I want to get in as many as I can before it gets too snowy). I might go see a movie or do something for Thanksgiving with my mom. Oh, and even though I'm not much of a political person these days, I am curious to see the upcoming election results.

What upcoming event are you most looking forward to? I'm trying to hype myself up for Halloween night because I'm actually going to be handing out candy this year. The morning will most likely be spent at the shelter.

What was the last song you heard? Something classical.

Quote something from last night: I can't think of anything quotable. I can hardly even remember what I said.

What time did you wake up today? I woke up around 5:00am, but I didn't get out of bed and start getting ready until around 5:30am.

What does your last incoming text say? It was a cattery group text from Natasha saying, "Oops okay thank you." Two women came in again today after I left and were under the impression that we give cat carriers to adopters, which we do not do. Natasha was the one who told them that, based on her training from Alex. It all got cleared up, though!

Is there a vase in the room you’re in? I think there might be a couple on the counter in the master bathroom, but I don't pay much attention to what's in there because it's basically just a junk storage area at the moment. There aren't any on display in my actual room, though.

Any plans for today/this evening? I was at the shelter from 7:40am-12:00pm. Came home, showered, ate lunch, cleaned the upstairs bathroom, and now I'm here. I don't have any plans for the rest of the night.

Have you recently been insulted? No.

What is the radio in your car tuned to at this exact moment? CPR classical.

Compared to someone else of your age and gender; do you feel that you have a lot to offer someone? Uhhhm…I guess that depends on what you're looking for.

How many days a week do you work? Typically five. Friday-Tuesday.

Are there people you feel more connected to than others? Yeah. I feel the most connected to my dad. I also feel like I'm finally starting to connect more with people at the animal shelter. It's nice because I spent the past year or so feeling like a fringe outsider.

Is there ONE person you feel more connected to than others? Oh, I already answered this.

Are you more like your mother or your father? I'm more like my dad. I'm not completely unlike my mom, though. Sometimes I'll catch myself saying or doing something and I'll be like, "That was very mom of me." I can see some of her mannerisms, ect, coming out in my own self-expression.

Where did your eye color come from? My mom.

Describe the pants you are wearing: They're swishy black sweatpants with a pink and white stripe up the side. There's also a hole in the left knee area.

Have you ever been in a recording studio? No.

The myspace picture you’ve had up the longest? I have no idea. It's been years since I was last on Myspace. I still miss it and I'm still not over it. :'(

Are any of your myspace pictures alcohol related?

What is your worst relationship quality? It's been so long since I was last in a relationship that it's hard to say, but based on my interactions with other people, it's probably my tendency to be hurt by little things or to feel ostracized for no good reason. I take things too much to heart, assume I can't trust someone or be myself around them, clam up, and ultimately push them away (sometimes quietly, sometimes messily).

What was your most recent serious injury? I've never had a serious injury.

What were you most recently happy about? Becoming the designated spider bouncer at the shelter. There was a big'un in the bathroom this morning. Not as big as the one we saw on the laundry room wall a few months ago, but probably the second biggest I've encountered there so far. Paris was even like, "I don't mean to sound pathetic, but could you please check cat ISO for me and make sure there are no spiders in there?" ;D

Are you happy with the way the Yankees are playing?

Are you a fan of cake? Yesss. I'm a fan of desserts and baked goods in general.

What shirt have you not worn in a while that you would like to? I have this orange one with a cat sitting on a crescent moon that I might wear for Halloween.

When was the last time you were hit on? No idea.

What is the next concert you are going to and where are you seeing it?

Name someone you know who is most likely to be found at a bar on Wednesday night? Paris…? Maybe not on a Wednesday night because I don't know her schedule, but in addition to working as a vet tech, she's also a bartender.

Baberham Lincoln's Bunions

Monday I learned about Pascal's law to correct a question in my test about external pressure. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

After studying all Monday afternoon, my husband went to the gym and while I prepped dinner. I put on Wayne’s World to watch something while I cooked and regretted not dedicating my undivided attention to this hilarious film. It captured the essence of the 80's. The sexist remarks are a relic of the context. This is a highly quotable film and I wish I had not been multitasking in the kitchen when I watched it. This just means I get to rewatch it with my husband later! Setting aside the sexism, I would still rate this film:

5/5 bunions

Trump Wants Live TV Trial, a Terrifying Home Shootout, and Female Lions Grab $1,800 Handbag

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2023 Good morning! On this date in 1789, Benjamin Franklin penned his last great quotable phrase, mentioning in a letter to a friend that “Nothing is certain but death and taxes.” The context of the line, rarely noted, can be read here.

Update:

The Shush Club is the place where Watson's stag party is held according to Robert Downey, Jr. from the Maximum Movie Mode (MMM) of A Game of Shadows.

This still makes no sense, though (no offense, Mr. Downey), because Watson tells Mycroft when he arrives, "May I deduce that you who rarely strays from the path that runs from your home to the Diogenes Club—and never on a Monday, when they serve your favorite potted shrimps—must be here for some far more important reason than my stag party?"

Obviously, this warrants the reply of one of my favorite Mycroft lines: "You know, he's nothing like as slow-witted as you'd been leading me to believe, Sherly!"

But think about it.

If the "Shush Club" is mean to emulate or replace the Diogenes Club, why would Watson claim that wherever they are is not the Diogenes Club, thus questioning Mycroft's presence?

There can only be one explanation: The location of Watson's stag party is NOT the Diogenes Club. Whether the Shush Club is the Diogenes or it's its own club, however, is up for debate. I just don't understand how the "Shush" Club could be so rowdy, LOL.

Here is my theory.

There are two possible ideas here:

1. The Diogenes Club and the Shush Club are indeed two different locations, and this is not a normal place Mycroft frequents (ensuring that his line still makes sense). Thus, the "Shush Club #3" bonus track is just an extra audio sample for that location and not a deleted scene of Mycroft at the Diogenes Club.

2. Orrr the Diogenes Club and the Shush Club are the same location and the extra scene might still have been for Mycroft, buuut they forgot and messed up, keeping the line about Mycroft's irregular deviation from habit.

If you watched the MMM, you already know that Sir Stephen Fry (Mycroft's actor) brought a lot of suggestions to the table that the actors or director didn't think of, being a Sherlockian himself who was well acquainted with the Canon. It is possible that he suggested the line about the Diogenes Club to remain accurate to Mycroft's character (he has suggested a LOT of good and quotable lines in previous roles and shows/movies), Guy Ritchie (the director) liked it, and they kept it in, forgetting that the Shush Club was supposed to be the Diogenes.

Sadly, Fry's Mycroft was only in very few scenes compared to the whole of the film, so he may not have had access to the whole script and plot, and certainly not the planning process like Downey did. (Wouldn't it have been so cool to have him as producer or on board with the script/story department somehow, though?)

Anyhow, there we are. Completely unnecessary ramblings about the possibility of a deleted Diogenes scene. XD Well, erm, if you made it this far, have a cup of tea and a cookie. You deserve it.

Guys, does ANYBODY know if there was a deleted scene from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows featuring the Shush Club (and/or Mycroft)? Please. I need this.

I ask this because of three reasons.

1. There is a bonus track on the deluxe album edition of AGOS from Warner Brothers/Watertower Music called "Shush Club #3." This strange, jazzy, eccentric, accordion-based track is never to be heard on screen in AGOS. Initially, I thought that it was just a bonus track for the sake of including something Zimmer and Balfe wanted to compose. But then...

2. The credits list multiple actors as "Shush Club Maitre D's." Where were they? At first I thought they were referring to the place where they hosted Watson's stag party and Mycroft was present, but that couldn't have been the Shush Club, because the environment was certainly a loud one. 😂

3. There is an article on Baker Street Wiki about the "Shush Club," describing it as such:

The Shush Club is the exclusive establishment to which Mycroft Holmes retires to escape the noise and pressing demands of the world. The membership is made up of the great and powerful, and one of the major rules is that all disputes must be left at the door. Neither members nor guests are allowed to speak or even acknowledge anyone else except in certain, rigidly-defined circumstances.

It lists Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows under the "Appearances" section and says that it is modeled off of the Diogenes Club (from the original Canon).

So, where the blazes are this set/location, actors, and extra bonus track? XD They all correspond so as to make anyone think that the Shush Club was included in AGOS but just got cut. Does anyone have any information on this? Was Stephen Fry's Mycroft in it as a founding member of the Diogenes Club, getting more screen time than his criminally under-shown character had in the final cut? Did it include any of the main actors like Downey's Holmes or Law's Watson, or would this have been a sort of one-off short scene for humorous purposes to show Mycroft and the Diogenes Club (which I would love anyway)?

WE. NEED. ANSWERS!

So, yeah. Please speak now if you have information. Thank you. 🫡 XD

Quotable Monday : Restarting With Madeleine L'Engle

A few years ago I wrote a speech for my speech class and I searched high and low for the quote or something that would teach me and everyone about how I felt about how I was growing. It was so hard. Like, I can’t even tell you murder hard. I searched Good Reads and at least 3 other databases, but everything sounded so pretentious or oblivious. I wanted something that said, I don’t know and I’m working on it. I found that from Madeleine L’Engle.

My self has been in constant flux for the last 11 months. I’ve changed so much of who I thought I was to become who I feel like I’m supposed to be. I learned that I’m still learning and I’m really excited about that.

So I wanted to restart this series with something that means something to me.

Happy Adventures,

Today’s b-side was one of a few songs Beck wrote and produced with Karl Stephensen in the early 90s (others being Loser and Beercan). The beginning portion in which Beck sings “Fly Like Da Eagle” is apparently from a banjo piece that was not release/was lost.

 “In a Cold Ass Fashion” appears on some compilation albums, including Jabberjaw: Good to the Last Drop and 110 Below: Trip To The Chip Shop Vol. 2. This song, as Whiskeyclone puts it, is definitely “one of Beck’s more insane songs” (x). Catchy and ridiculous, it feels like Beck through and through.

I’ve been down on myself a lot about all the weight I gained back, and that has to stop. I have to forgive myself, and keep moving forward.

It took determination the first time, and it’s going to take strength this time. I know I have it.

It’s time to believe in that strength.
