24% deep sleep and I'm off like a rocket this morning. A little over 3 miles on the #Aviron while watching #ColdCase ... that old 2003 drama with Kathryn Morris.

The first episode had #KateMara in it. I really love her work though I know she's not popular with most people. She's very genuine on screen and I think that comes off as bad acting. House Of Cards really allowed her to come through.

Great workout!

Been showing @IronButterfly #Arrow because she's never seen it and S2E9 was the backdoor pilot for #TheFlash which technically didn't air until the following year. It's been clear as Ive been rewatching Arrow that they were dropping hints as early as S1 when Laurels mom says she's going to catch the train back to Central City and she'll "be home in a flash" and that's well before The Flash was even on production. They always had a plan.

This is the future newspaper in The Flash ... 2024.🤣

It's gonna be one of those days again ❤️ 🤣

The morning wouldn't be complete without Tauri sitting on my keyboard and typing his own message. This is his thanks as well ... or it says shutup and feed me ... or I'll miss my sister-cousin even though she hated me and liked slapping my big orange head. Or all of the above. 🤣

Thanks to everyone for your kindness and supportive words yesterday. They are all deeply appreciated. ❤️

94/92 after an absolutely brutal day yesterday is a testament to my ability to recover and know what my body and mind needs.

Rest and recovery isn't just for your body. Your mind needs rest and recovery too, especially from trauma. Sleep isn't always enough. Passing out from stress isn't as relaxing as it may feel, it's mental and physical shutdown which is bad.

Even though I don't technically need it, today is going to be another rest day. ❤️

Katriinka's channel is a wonderful resource for people who don't think kpop idols have any talent or ability to sing (which is insanely untrue) or have no ability to recognize individual talent outside of the boring group dynamics they are forced into for most of their career. She helps people to understand that many of these girls have sick amounts of real vocal talents and, as I'm always saying, it's their agencies that don't allow them to have an individual focus.

#Katriinka is a vocal coach who works with singers and young artists and she does amazing honest and professional critiques of musicians and kpop idols. I love her content because she is open, supportive, but she also gives real critiques on their voices based on their age, training, and natural talents. This video is about Ahyeon's performance on Lee Mujin's show.

She has a BEAUTIFUL personality and voice and I've been speaking about her since long before she made her debut. She is a powerhouse who worked hard to develop the voice she has now. She wasn't born with it.

I really feel like Ahyeon won't be crushed by the kpop machine like many othes. She seems mature beyond her age and has a very healthy attitude about her career and how she wants to improve herself based on her own feelings not outside criticism.

I will continue to support her career ❤️

Something that struck me about Ahyeon's amazing personality was her expression about wishing to not separate Ahyeon the person from Ahyeon the singer which is something that I don't hear many idols articulate. Many idols are part of groups with specific images and they are trapped in the kpop machine having to perform a certain part or embody a persona that may not be theirs. The fact that Ahyeon already aspires to be one whole person gives me great hope for her future as a solo artist. ❤️

#LeeMujinService is a show that showcases the talent of individual kpop idols. He was inspired to create the show after hearing Lia of ITZY solo and decided he wanted to make a show that highlighted the amazing talents that often gets buried in group dynamics.

His latest show featured #Ahyeon of #BABYMONSTER who, at 17, is such an amazing singer, rapper, dancer. If you want to hear something amazing ... her cover of Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire is at 5:40 ... goosebumps.❤️

RIP Lotus.

Our 15 year old lady passed tonight. She will be deeply missed.

Tauri is wondering when someone will turn the treadmill on so he can just slide right off. He hasn't figured out the walking part. 🤣 He just lays on it and sliiiiides ...
