Thank you for telling us about your night t*r. That's really cute. lol

My evening is not much different. Since I went away for New Year's I promised my mom/grandma to spent some time with them. Highlight of the evening was showing them a video of some TV show host climbing Lost Arrow Spire. Since I climbed it, they wanted to see more details, and this video does an ok job explaining. My mom didn't quite understand what was the point of climbing a wall to the spire, if I had an easy hike to the actual high point of the 'mountain' (Yosemite point). Didn't know how to explain...

People that put in the "Locker" spaces make me scroll with my index finger more than I would like.

I'm really bummed because I don't know if I can do the Red River Gorge in March, the south of France in June and Spain in July and still have time to boulder in the Colorado high country in August. How can life be so cruel?

I don't think it will be possible for me to check out all the ice climbing spots that I want to check out this weekend.

Okay, I don't really like Sirius radio 'cuz all the stations are lame. But my kids got it for me for Christmas, so I have it again in my Chevy truck. BUT, now it's set to the Pearl Jam station, which is really cool but I am sick of listening to Pearl Jam 'cuz all their songs are the same. But it's too much work to reach up and change the station to something else AND I might not like it as much as Pearl Jam even though I'm now walking around like a zombie humming, "...I've seen the whorled... through the rocking horse of time...."


UGH, typing is so much work.

I was hitchhiking back from Yosemite once (couldn't afford the gas let alone the car), and this Israeli guy gives me a ride (he negotiated for a place to stay). His family would be what we would consider upper class. During the long drive home I'm telling him about the problems I'd had with my moms used portable dishwasher and was asking for his help. (he was in university at the Technion and was also clearly smarter than me). He was unable conceive of the issue or the repair and told me that NO ONE had dishwashers back home. NO ONE. Too expensive. I'm like, "but my mom is poor and has a portable dishwasher....uhhh. " It made me consider the US standard of living.

Ha! I'm so over the fact that I have to separate into more than barrel and the cans and bottles are expected to be rinsed.

I'm a telecommuter, and had to suffer through a few minutes of boredom, waiting for a file from another telecommuting co-worker, because her Internet connection drops when she uses her microwave. Upgrade your home wireless router already. Sheesh.

I just moved to LA, and the best climbing gym near my house is small, poorly ventilated, and chalk-dust fills the air. I have to wait for weekends or rearrange my weekday schedule to climb outside in beautiful sunshine and clean air.

Gluten free bread from the freezer aisle.

Can't get the slices apart until it thaws some. Attempts to butterknife it apart have had crumby results.

Damn I want a sammich.
