You're on the Global Frequency
Apr. 6th, 2009 08:36 pmToday's missed swim is due to two things. The first is an exquisite case of Headbanger's Neck - day-two DOMS for the whole posterior fascia: trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboids, latissumus dorsi, serratus, erector spinae, supraspinatus and subscapularis, don't forget the sternocleidomastoid, add a little intercostals, now hear the word of the Lord!
Like all good day-two DOMS, it's deeper, duller, stiffer and spread wider than day one. This is what I get for pogoing to Mindcrime until I headbutt the ceiling. Still, I always enjoy the awareness of all that yummy structure. It's like the detail in a nice bit of Gothic architecture, structural and fractal, a squishy constellation of forces.
The other reason I'm not wreathed in the delicate aroma of chlorine is Warren Ellis, damn him, and his collection of one-shots Global Frequency. The Frequency is an organisation of experts and agents, and at any time they could get called up to do something vitally important that only they could do (usually: mop up or prevent some ghastly horror). They're not supers - some are just cops and geeks - and it's totally hooked me in that "wow, could this work for real?" kinda way.
