Make Up Post!

Didn't blog yesterday because I had some friends over, and they didn't roll out until after 2 am.  Tired Joe.  I didn't knock one out earlier in the day because I thought nothing of note had happened to me, but in retrospect...

In Spin Class, a girl worked too hard, felt ill, got up from her bike and promptly passed out.  Not that victorian pass out where her arm goes to her forehead and knees buckle and she says "I declare!".  Nooooo, this was an old school, stiff as a board, head hit the floor OUT!  By all accounts, she'll be fine, she hadn't eaten breakfast, tho I'm sure her head will hurt today.

However, in the moments after she fell, which everyone witnessed, NO ONE STOPPED SPINNING.  I'll include me in this too, for the moment.  She fell, it was obvious she fainted, and everyone kinda went, wha? and kept spinning for about 5 seconds or so.  What ran through my head was "Move the Drill" and "Do you want to be one of those people that say they just kept spinning when someone was dying in front of you?"  So I stopped, got off the bike and went over to "help".  I did absolutely NOTHING to assist, who the fuck am I Marcus Welby?  But I felt compelled to do something only to say that I wasn't one of the dopes who just stared and spun.

An odd occurrence, totally threw off the rythym of they class too, not blaming her just saying I personally couldn't get back into gear.

Great movie, it felt like a teenage war movie.  Let me explain.  There was a theatricality to the office scenes, or character scenes, which seemed to mark it as an old Hollywood production.  The sets weren't "aged" very much, everything was just clean and staged.  Nothing wrong with that, but it evoked older movies, and older war movies in general.  But when they cut to some of the battle scenes, it took on a more modern warfare feel.  It's like this was a stepping stone movie for war films, not entirely of the modern age and not a throwback.  Great movie.
