notes from the gym

[julesjones]

The way my local gym is set up, when using some of the machines, you end up looking directly at a side view of one of the other machines. And the machine's occupant. Who tonight happened to be not only a good-looking young man, but a good match for my personal taste in eye candy.

When I say "young man", I mean "possibly young enough to be my son". Which makes it in slightly poor taste to visibly notice that Mr Nice Looking Young Man is exercising his rather nice muscles right in my line of sight. So I didn't. Visibly notice, that is.

Yes, I am a Dirty Old Woman. Old enough that I remember with fondness the short lived 1970s sf show Quark. If I tried not to look at Mr Nice Looking Young Man, the thing just to the left of my eyes-forward line of sight was the exercise class of young men who were lying on their backs waving their arms and legs in the air. Those of you who also remember Quark with fondness will probably understand why my internal monologue was, "And now we wait for the bee."

I had completely forgotten that show until you mentioned that last line... :)

The ABC went through a phase of using it in their early evening re-runs slot for teenagers in between re-runs of Doctor Who. So I may not have seen it for thirty years, but there are some scenes I do remember very clearly. :-)

That must have been when I saw it too. It all came back when I remembered the bee scene..

Sadly "Quark" must have passed me by. Did it feature characters called Charm, Strange, Top and Bottom? :)

[julesjones]

Alas, no. But it did have a character called Otto Bob Palindrome...

More info at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_%28TV_series%29 The episode khiemtran and I are talking about is "All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms".

Sounds like good motivation to me... :)
