trapezius spasms and all that

if i'd known that stretching was such a health risk i'd never do it. if i'd known that doing it might cause unprecedented amounts of pain, then i might have actively set up support schemes and awareness groups warning those not to partake in this deceptively pleasing motion. long story short STRETCHING IS EVIL.

well ok ok only if you do it like a retard such as i.

here comes my anecdote. after a fairly straightforward first half of the day at the office i decided to go full on with my stretching and reach for the stars as i prepared to take on the daunting evening sector of my work day. little did i know that doing so would absolutely cripple me and i'd be in the a&e room faster than you can say lolololol. turns out i've partially buggered this massive bastard. i present the trapezius muscle:

bit of a trap door, you'd say...?

don't worry i know where my coat is.

so i guess the moral of the story is to resist doing andy dufresne impressions when gearing yourself up for a mammoth task. you'll only have yourself to blame when you end up walking round like a spastic who can't even buckle his own seatbelt.


in matters that don't make me appear like a worn-out old bellend, the evening saw the pilot of this is england 86, something i've haven't anticipated as much since that disappointing sex scene in the first mass effect game. overall i thought it was... pretty great. i've read a few brief thoughts of others and a lot of people seem to think that the humour of the original film is being forced upon the audience this time around. i can kinda see there point i suppose, but i still think the episode gently carries the meadows charm throughout through its understandably slow pace. i loved being reintroduced to the characters i'd nearly forgotten about, and i'm eager to see how they evolve and interact over the next few episodes. shaun's darker character seems a lot more convincing this time round as well, but by and large the gang haven't changed much so it'll be interesting so see how meadows deals with them in a series format.

AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING IN WOODY'S ACCENT.

but yes, watch it on 4od if you get the chance. i can't endorse shane meadows enough.

so yeah that'll do. i know i said i'd do a reading review, but then i wasn't expecting a fucking muscle spasm, was i? it'll grace this page eventually, so long as i don't completely forget what happened. i'm struggling to remember every band i saw that weekend to be quite honest.
