Dec. 27th, 2015 06:41 amTurns out that video was just some kind of history behind the studio building. I thought someone was actually going to enter it and explore everything in its state of decay, like this school building in Russia (which, incidentally, was closed the same year).
Only watched the video halfway through, but I did pick up on a time capsule that was buried in front of the building in 1992, to be dug up in 2042. (And, as it turns out, people have been saying "Two-thousand-and-" even before 2000 itself; I prefer "Twenty-", except preceding 2010.)
In any case, here it is if anyone else is interested:

Started yesterday's workout at the gym by doing 500 steps on the stairmill at speed 5. Sat down for a while afterwards, and happened to sit there long enough for Mom to notice and ask me if I actually intend to continue my routine. I got up, but Mom saw signs of annoyance in me when we were getting ready to leave.
At home, she brought up this attitude I've been having, like she can't say one thing to me without me having a hissyfit. I told her that I think I manage my time pretty reasonably, and that I do not need her to get on my case and make me too tense to think about whatever's on my mind between walking and lifting weights.
After she left the room, I pulled up this article on Cracked to show her, and while she interpreted herself as simply guiding me through life, I explained my own response as trying to maintain control over my own life instead of letting anyone else impose theirs on me (which, in turn, I would consider practice for the real world, instead of sucking up to people like I used to with Mrs. Bandows).

Played a round of Deer In the Headlights last night with Marie and Mom, but we all found it a bit confusing. Mom promised to read the instructions a little more closely than we did.
Also went to Friendly's with Brian and Marie. Got myself a sundae, but didn't really talk about much except for what went on between me and Mom at the gym. Brian proceeded to rant about how much Mom and Dad put up with by letting me continue to live with them for so long after college without even actively seeking work, and that while I am entitled to my own feelings, I am still responsible for how I treat others.
