it's a beautiful life ah aahh oohhh

so bombs are being tested, the newspapers are filled with condemnation and photos of North Korean 'might'. how does one deal with these terrifying times?

well, i joined the gym. it's a pretty trippy place: as we walk in, there's a pile of shirts and shorts for each person to wear (a gym uniform). everyone is wearing the same thing. i don't mind- saves me doing laundry. the music is basically suitable for 80's aeorobics classes, which is totally out of sync with what people are doing. men do weights and women walk slowly on the treadmills. there's no-one going full-jazzercise, if you know what i mean.

before i pass judgement, it's not like the women NEED to do any more. 40 year old women with the bodies of 20 year olds.

so yeah, if the bombs start flying and the USA decides to invade North Korea, I may be stuck, but at least i'll be humming along to some cool songs - a la it's a beautiful life, ah aahh oohhh. either that or i'll be at work. it's not like anything has changed here. in fact, the normality of life after the nuke tests is the interesting part.
