Gym Stuff

Onto happier news, I have managed to hit a new PB for my bench press. 30 kg x 10 reps! Yay! And my deadlift is almost back to where it was before my back injury. Somehow, despite everything, I may well hit most of my fitness goals for the year.

2 Fic Related Questions

The fics themselves are unrelated :)

1) The only hardcore punk band I know of is Black Flag. Does anyone know of other bands in the same general genre? Song recs appreciated :)

2) Would a 30-something year old American male, who may or may not be Randy Orton, call a pair of jorts, "jorts"? I do not know American slang well enough to decide for myself.
