( let the yoke fall from our shoulders )

Gotta be a legendarily terrible weekend in the news, huh? What with the multiple mass shootings and the tragic Hollywood parricides and whatnot? Definitely a Monday to just kinda tune the world out and focus on work and/or my rich inner life.

Back is doing much better! Spent some of the weekend with spiking pain from my neck to my thighs, but I think those were just normal sore muscles and knots from coping with the initial injury. I'm mostly just very stiff now. May even try walking home from work during this brief break in the -40 degree weather, but we'll see how I'm holding up towards the end of the day.

Monday Mystery Movie tonight! I think it's probably gonna be the Hugh Jackman Neil Diamond impersonator one? Weird!

ANYWAY THEY JUST ANNOUNCED AEW DYNASTY WILL BE IN VANCOUVER IN APRIL, SO I HAVE PLANS TO MAKE AND CELEBRATORY WOK BOX TO ORDER, BYEEEEEEE~

(There's too much fucking perspective now.)

Still at work. Still cold. Still in pain, but it's steadily pivoting to just a deep soreness in the muscles of my back, which is a big step up from the seizing agony whenever I move, so hopefully that means whatever the fuck I did is healing up nicely. Getting my eating back under control to start easing gently back into my goals. I had such high hopes for the month and they were all derailed so abruptly!!!

Finished reading The Lord of the Rings. Started watching Sailor Moon from the beginning for some reason? 10-year-old Leshia is thriving right now while the current version falls the fuck apart.

I really like the idea of the Letterboxd Video Store and hope it does well, even if twenty bucks will always be way more than I can justify for a single rental. I think five dollars is probably my ceiling, especially for something without a dedicated streaming app. Blockbuster prices, you know?

So I didn't update at all last week, and then on Sunday, I threw my back out for the first time in my life, so I'm probably not going to start now. I'm at work after being stuck at home yesterday, but I'm very cold and hungry and in a lot of pain whenever I move too much (it's okay otherwise) and have a ton of work to do because I wasn't here yesterday, so I shall keep it brief!

For the two-year anniversary of the inaugural bout (and the one and only time I have brought a sign to a wrestling show), AEW finally uploaded the Montreal Cage v. Cope match, meaning the entire Old Man Yaoi trilogy is now on YouTube! Huzzah! I am including all three matches in their entirety here, simply because it makes me happy in a very dark time.







(my stupid sign appears at 16:19 in the first video lol BUT THEY'RE ALL GREAT)

I have ordered a private taxi for a burrito. Grant me the strength to get up and head all the way out to reception when it arrives.
