New Year’s Eve, baby! Time to party like it’s 2012/2013, ’cause that’s exactly what it is.
No need to party like any other year when this is the moment we’re in. (What’s weird about this is that some readers will think I’m referencing the Prince song, and some readers will think I’m referencing the Justin Bieber song.)
My building’s gym was empty on the night of the 31st, and I took full advantage of that! Not only was the gym empty, Ion Television was playing three Criminal Minds episodes back to back to back.
Ion’s TV schedule hadn’t been changed due to New Year’s Eve. (Thank you, Ion TV.) Not only were they playing a show I love – they played two of my favorite episodes!
I must admit I’m kind of glad that I was late to the Criminal Minds party (not an actual party, but an expression). If I had been watching since the beginning, and I had to wait a whole season between the cliffhanger of “Lo-Fi” in season 3 and the continuation in “Mayhem” – the 1st episode of season 4 – I would’ve gone nuts!
I applauded at the end of the “Mayhem” episode. Seriously. It was so good. I watched with the same intensity as I did the first time I saw it. I love when there is good television on at the gym. Love it!
After Criminal Minds, there were three episodes of Numbers (though I did not stay for all of them).
Every year in January, gyms fill up like mad! Good for people who are working to get fit(!)… But by March (at the latest) the gym is always back to where it was the previous year…
I really enjoyed having this last little secret alone workout before the January rush starts.
And, random side note about working out on New Year’s Eve: I was working out in a gym with a wall of windows facing the street, and I got some strange looks from passersby.
One man even knocked on the window just past midnight and motioned for me to come give him a kiss. I did not. But who knows? Maybe next year. 😉
