500 / Grimm
Nov. 6th, 2011 09:53 pmMy parents came over for dinner, which was good in one way (good food, my father's leg is mostly better, we discussed plans for Christmas with my inlaws, and I sent them home with jars of stuff and a loaf of bread), and bad in another: my father's youngest brother collapsed earlier today and is in the hospital in a coma. No further information yet. I'm worried, and my wishes and prayers are with my uncle and his family, of course, but... there's nothing I can do but wait to hear.
Watched the first episode of Grimm after dinner, digesting before going to the gym. NBC has definitely given their fairy tale show a bigger budget than ABC did. And, on a pilot-to-pilot basis, it's less cliche and more interesting, even though the only character whose name I had in my head by the end of the episode was the hero's aunt.
Then we went to the gym and for some reason, I don't know why, I had a hard time burning up the calories; I barely made it to 500. And Once Upon A Time was showing on one of the TVs, but another was showing Hitch, so I mostly watched that. Far better than last week, when there was only a TV movie about Selena to compete with it. Or, as always, six channels of sports, which don't interest me. I love the warm feeling I have in my thighs by the end of a session. I love the feeling of the cool outside air against my heated body as I leave. And I'm learning to love the moment of prickle on the backs of my forearms when my body registers that hey, yeah, exercise session!
