Studying has been so stressful lately ? Have you got something to help me relax ?

Thursday morning, 8:00 a.m. You park the old Toyota Prius that you took over from your mother in the student parking lot. Thank God it's the weekend soon, you think. But you don't feel like going to the microeconomics lecture right away. Integration of AI in the pricing of inhomogeneous markets. Unfortunately, you're not one of those nerds who can jerk off to the lecture notes. But you have to go through it now. Before you go in there, you surf through Instagram a bit. An ad for Chronivac TimeTravel pops up. It looks silly… Kind of like a role-playing game. You have to choose a character. You think about how your dad always raves about his college days. Maybe it would be cool if it was 1983. And if you were a bodybuilder. A stupid meathead. You choose that as your character. You'll worry about the rest later. Your lecture is about to start. And you still have to fight your way through the group of activists protesting against the climate policy.

The lecture is really too complicated for you. AI is a complex subject. But in combination with microeconomics? Whoever came up with that… You breathe a sigh of relief when the lecture is over. As well as you can with your face mask on. This pandemic is really exhausting. But it's good that at least there are lectures in presence again. This videoconference crap is really not mature yet. Next lecture is Spanish for Business. That's more your thing. The professor is really hot. Good motivation to go back to the workout later. You've been spending every free minute in the gym for two months, and you're starting to see results.

During the lunch break you sit with the lads from the wrestling team. Wrestling is not your thing. But the lads look like bulls. And you like that. You talk about the legalization of cannabis in Canada. That would be a cool thing here too. You've pretty much given up smoking and alcohol since you got into bodybuilding. But you don't think there's anything wrong with a little weed now and then.

At 4:00 p.m., university is over for you for the day. You sit down in the five-year-old VW Jetta that you took over from your mother. It's really embarrassing. You feel ashamed every time you drive it to the gym. Let's see, maybe you can at least put a cool matte black finish on it…

The workout was awesome again. You totally forgot the time. You're back in your car at 9:00 p.m. and drive to your dorm. You turn on the news while you prepare your dinner. China's Vice President Xi Jinping is appointed vice chairman of the Communist Party's military commission. The 57-year-old is seen as a potential successor to state and party leader Hu Jintao. Boring stuff… You certainly don't have to remember that name.

The alarm clock rings at 5:00 am. Breakfast. And off to the gym. The car radio is talking about a possible invasion of Iraq. Many of your buddies from the gym were in the army or navy… Their nerves are on edge. You can understand if you still have friends or family who might have to go to war. But 09/11 must be avenged!

Before university, leg training is the order of the day. You are proud of your colossal thighs. Many of your buddies only work out the upper body. You have the best proportions here. You've only been lifting iron for two years. But for you it's not a leisure activity, for you it's a religion.

You're just in time for your lecture. Game theory. You take your pad and pen and start taking notes. A laptop would be really cool right now. But you know four or five people on campus who have one. It's just incredibly expensive… But you won't need much longer for your bachelor's degree in sport management. Then you will hopefully be able to afford something like that. And hopefully also a new car. Your Jeep Wrangler is a cool car. But it's also eleven years old. Built in 1980… At least it gets you to the gym at 4:00 p.m. reliably.

Some dumbass turned on CNN instead of MTV on the workout floor. Some shit with the Soviet Union. Apparently everything is falling apart there and the former Soviet republics are forming a new union. Boring shit. Fortunately, someone quickly switches back to MTV. Good Vibrations with Marky Mark. Cool guy. But quite a weakling. You do a double bicepz pose in front of the mirror. You've been here every free minute for almost three years. Maybe you should be in one of those music videos.

After your workout, you wanted to go straight to bed. But it's Friday night. 10:00 p.m. The lads ask if you'd like to go to the late show of the new film with Michael J. Fox. Back to the Future. Why not. The movie's pretty funny, too. Time travel. Strange conception… But you like the idea…

Saturday morning, October 22, 1983. At 10:00 you're back at the Gym. On the way here, you've been listening to the radio about peace demonstrations in Europe. The Russki is once again threatening nuclear war. And we are stationing Pershings in Germany. Bonnie Tyler's "total eclipse of the heart" is playing from the speakers in the gym. Fuck the Russki and fuck the Germans. You're all about getting your muscles burning. At 2:00 p.m., your shift at the counter begins. Tonight you and your pals are going to wrestling. That would be a cool alternative. You as the new Hulk Hogan! But until that happens, you help out at the gym on weekends. And during the week, you'll drive a backhoe on a construction site. Hey, it's a cool life. You don't want any other!

This is your reminder that in certain countries the clocks have to be put forward one hour tonight!

[Image ID: A GIF showing part of the time warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. A man indicates the foot position for a jump to the left on a board subtitled with 'It's just a jump to the left' and then a group of people is shown stepping out with their right foot multiple times while the subtitles read 'and then a step to the right!'. /End ID]

Time Warp

This is a new design that incorporates smooth, flowing lines into the traditional straight-line tailoring. The pattern is divided into parts and consists of six panels. The emerald green fabric was dyed specifically for this costume, as the ideal color could not be found in ready-made fabrics.

okay so my work is already beginning to prepare for Halloween which means I hear The Time Warp about twenty times a day and like

read these lyrics real quick and then try and tell me I’m wrong but look

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink He shook-a me up and took me by surprise He had a pickup truck and those devil's eyes He stared at me, and I felt the change Time meant nothing, never would again

It’s Ineffable Husbands. It’s Aziraphale talking about Crowley. It is, I swear.

[redsrainbows]

I see you shiver with antici-

Okay so anyways I feel weird now that I’m back visiting in NY…

[ingridverse]

I'm sick and tired of people saying it's just a jump to the left. There's more to it than that

alright, I've had my fun being a himbo silver fox. Turn me into a big beefy spartan warrior instead.

You put most of the guys here in the shade. Figuratively speaking, because you're fitter and stronger despite your age. And often also literally, because they kneel in your shadow and are at your service. Dude, you want to give that up? You're a legend here at the gym!

You wipe the sweat from your brow. Next set of bench presses. Fuck, that was way too easy! You add weight. And again. And again. Now it fits. With a loud grunt, you perform the last repetition. And as the barbell falls back into its holder, you yell "Sparta"! The other guys in the gym look a little irritated. But you're almost everyone's role model here. You can get away with anything. It's almost 10 p.m. on the west coast when you finish your workout. In Greece, it's already 08:00 in the morning. For fuck's sake, why do you care? Because an ancestor from Greece moved to California a few hundred years ago? Hardly…

That was a damn good workout… Outside on the village square, you wash off your sweat at the fountain before putting your tunic back on. You like the morning. The air is still cool, most people are out in the fields and there is hardly a sound to be heard apart from the hammering of the forge. And it's all the nicer to listen to the hammering of the blacksmiths when you know they're working on your new sword and helmet. If and when you need them? You don't know. But it can never take long. In fact, you're always at war.

Let those Persian bastards come! You are few. You are far worse equipped. But you are not afraid. The defense of your homes and your families is the most important thing in your lives. And you are not only brave, you are strong and skillful. You know the battlefield like the back of your hand. And the smith of your armor and sword is a master of his trade!

THIS! IS! SPARTA!
