So, today The Matrix Reloaded opened in IMAX theatres nationwide.
YAY!!!
Except that it didn’t open in Phoenix or Lax Vegas.
BOO!!!
But maybe it’ll show up later?
yay?
They’re planning on releasing The Matrix Revolutions – The IMAX Experience on November 5th, the same day it opens in ‘regular’ theatres.
YAY!!!
It probably still won’t open in an IMAX near me…
BOO!!!
(okay, enough of that.)
I just figured out why ‘I am bender’ keeps showing up on the left of the main Modern Evil page as Poetry, despite the fact that it is neither recent nor poetry. And I have fixed it. Hooray!
Tonight I decided to do the first section of the Yoga Zone – Yoga For Abs because I spent the earlier part of the day quarrying huge rocks. That is, I gave my back a workout earlier today moving around rocks 4’x6’x4″, and thought it might be best to balance that with an abdominal workout. I actually did the workout from about 23:45 on 211 until 00:05 on 212, so the date in the title is right, even if the date on this post isn’t.
I think some of my abdominal muscles are stronger than they think and others are weaker. Mostly it seems to be the ones that have to hold up this damn belly that are stong. Sigh. Some of the moves involve bending left and right to use the muscles on the sides of my abdomen (obliques?), but there’s so much god damned fat there that my skin starts to buckle and pinch with even just a slight side-ways bend. I do it anyway, since those muscles stilll need to be worked, even if they ARE hidden under a thick blanket of fat.
Anway, I stopped for a while there… at first because I was out of town, but … after that I had no real excuse. Sigh.
Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on “I am not too sure.”
