First Post-Boot Cardio

Yesterday after work I went to the gym. Normally, I can work out at home, but my "at home" cardio is running, which I can't do for a few weeks per the doctor. Her plan was that I can do the sit-down bike for a week, followed by the elliptical, then maybe running.

I did 45 minutes on the bike yesterday, sitting and watching "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad" on TBS. It felt good to do something cardio-related, but this is far from my favorite as the rest of my body does not get a workout.

A guy who was probably 15 years older than me was on the bike next to me. He was keeping my pace at a lower level, just sitting there reading the paper. This irked me a bit as it made me feel this was not a workout if it can be done so easily. Thankfully, he was sort of cute and had great furry legs that I could view via side-eye.

When I got off the bike, I did notice a touch of soreness in my calves and a very dull ache in my left ankle, so the workout did do something. My leg muscles are a bit sore too. I'll be going back to repeat this tomorrow.

At least the eye candy at the gym was worthwhile.

Jeepers Creepers 3

After my workout yesterday, I went home to shower and change, and then hit the movies. "Jeepers Creepers 3" was playing for one-night only at select theaters in the area. As a fan of the first two, I had bought my ticket on Monday.

I'll keep the spoilers out of it, in case there are some other horror fans reading, but I will tell you that this movie takes places between the first movie and its sequel. So, the story is taking place within the 23 day time-window when the Creeper is killing from the first movie.

I think the movie does a decent job tying the bookends of the first movie and the second movie together for the most part.

Good Bits:

• The movie stars Meg Foster and her famous crystal blue eyes. It's not a glamorous role for her, but I recognized her off the bat. The movie also stars Stan Shaw from movies like "Rocky" and "Fried Green Tomatoes."


• You get some info into what it's like in the back of the Creeper's killer van.

Not-So-Good Bits:

• The story is a bit weak really and there are a couple of glaring plot-holes I picked up on, which were strange since the same creative team was involved in all three.


• Some of the special effects were of the SyFy Channel movie computer-generated caliber. I know that they probably had a tight budget, but I think they could have done better.

No extra scene at the end, but there was an interview with Jonathan Breck who plays the Creeper at the end, after the credits, so that was fun. He's a very attractive guy out of make-up, so I'm surprised he never made it into movies as a leading man.
