A number of things occurred to me earlier today.
Reeces Pieces are an excellent breakfast.
Getting older is fucking tiresome.
I do not like it when people I care about are down in the dumps.
The list of things I need to ‘work on’ in training appears to be getting longer and NOT shorter as I had hoped.
James Spader was a beautiful looking man in his younger days.
Now he looks not unlike my mother.
This ties in neatly with getting older being tiresome.
I still cannot do a handstand push up. This ties in with the LONG list of things I find I need to work on.
I could still be hungry.

By a hand stand push up do you mean a handstand? Or pushing from head to hand? Both took me about three years so worry not. I think me not being able to do it was more the fear of smacking my face than anything, then one day I just said “feck this” and went for it. (there was padding below where my face was!). Good luck!

Being in a handstand position, the lowering head to ground and back up again. I have ‘issues’ with being upside down. But not being able to do it make me feel like a muppet.
Oh Spader, you have such a good voice and you look like you’d be a dirty freak in the sack, why turn Lilac, why?

Good God, woman, there’s no shame in not being able to to a handstand pushup yet. You might as well say you can’t spin twenty plates while tap-dancing to Yankee Doodle Dandy yet. I’m sure you’ll get it one day, but in the meantime, cut yourself some slack!

I second the no shame in being unable to do a handstand pushup. (Aside from the fact that a large percentage of the population would ask why you want to do one in the first place! (Just curious is this handstand against the wall or with legs waving in the air cos that sounds like feckin acrobatics to me)
Also I’d say your list is getting longer partly because the amount of things you can now attempt has grown too.
Reeces Pieces are rockin sugary goodness
Anyone got a cure for a Dizzee Rascal ‘Bonkers’ earworm?
September 24, 2010 at 12:56 pm
For earworms.

That worked! Ta muchly and blog real life crossover as I heard this on the radio on the way home. (the sanitised version natch)

Gosh I’m glad, I’ve been singing this non stop since this morning. ‘Go tell y’er liddly boy fwiend!” Can’t stop.
September 24, 2010 at 8:57 pm
best… song… ever…

i don’t know what a handstand push up is. i’d have guessed at some form of supportive underwear. i’m on intimate terms with Reeces Pieces, however.

They are bloody delicious in fairness. Plus I am sick of eggs.

If some god told me I could live as long as I want at whatever age I chose I would definitely prefer older to younger.
As long as you’re fit you get a lot of advantages. For some reason people are more polite to you, there’s the old age pension and free bus pass, most of my friends are young and my age doesn’t seem to bother them, I still feel like I did 30 years ago, and I’ve learned from all my mistakes in life.
I still hop around the world like a ‘two-year-old’ and get embarrassed when someone offers me their seat – the cheek!
Off to Prague next Friday with a beautiful intelligent divorcee who wouldn’t have looked at me when I was young.

Nice! I hope you have a foxy time.
September 24, 2010 at 12:42 pm |
Sensing a shadow on your aura.
Hand stand push up – fuck – when i was beautiful and hard, and hung out with the hardest most beautifulest crowd, none of us could do one of them.
That said, have you tried it with a trainer who might hold your legs and support or lift as appropriate ?
September 24, 2010 at 12:57 pm |
I’ve tried that too, disaster. I nearly kicked his face off. Nope this is one of those things one must master without slaughtering others in the process.
September 24, 2010 at 3:03 pm |
I can’t do an ACTUAL push up! Let alone a handstand one! Relax yourself there FMC, I’m getting cramp listening to you!
I do a nice line in exclamation mark filled comments though – any good to you?
September 24, 2010 at 8:33 pm |
I like you exclamation points, they’re so pointy.
The bloody Mary I am currently drinking is nice, but not as good as the Paramour makes them. To this I say boo.

Well my crying jag this morning did make the dogs better behaved for the afternoon death march.
Eureka!

Stupid animals and their wretched ability to make us emotional slaves.
The poor Spaniard’s family cat was put to sleep the other day and she is so terribly blue and feeling guilty even though it was absolutely not her fault that it was unwell.

Thanks for the lovely picture of James to lighten my day. Actually, when he sheds the added weight he looks quite good again. He did this toward the end of last year and looked great…unfortunately he gained a good bit of it back over the past few months.

Did he-le sigh? I rather liked him in Private Practice, but in Boston Legal he looked liked Ma, although I LOVED the character. But it was a struggle against those soft chins.
September 24, 2010 at 9:02 pm |
i too cannot do and “actual pushup” (well, i can but it involves sweaty and too much blood running to my face)… but i CAN dislocate my right should at while. contrary to mel gibson in lethal weapon 2, this DOESN’T facilitate you in getting out of a straight jacket…
September 24, 2010 at 9:25 pm |
my god, what has happened to my spelling?!
September 24, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Don’t worry about it, like Spader, it is a thing of beauty.
September 27, 2010 at 4:35 pm |
Spader? James Spader? He of the once languid looks and ‘Crash’? No, I’d never have guessed. Next thing you’ll be saying the Paramour is his simulacrumpet.
