(no subject)
I went to the climbing center today, to climb on a proper big wall for the first time. Half my body sortakinda hurts juuust a little, and I expect the other half to hurt when I wake up tomorrow. It was pretty awesome. They taught us the ropes (literally) and then let us loose on the walls. There was also a rope ladder, which I climbed up all the way to the ceiling. That was actually more strenuous than the walls themselves. 16 meters, doesn't even look all that impressive but when I was at the ground again, my underarms felt like twice the normal size and they looked weirdly bigger, too. Like, every muscle in there had tensed up and refused to let loose. Not quite like a cramp though, it didn't hurt. But I'll be surprised if I can use my arms properly tomorrow. Heh. I talked my friends into going, so next week we'll be three or four people which is good, because you always need a partner to secure your rope.
Speaking of climbing, some A$$holes have gone to our little climbing rock in the park in the dark of night and removed most of the... things you grab or step on. The thingies, what do you call them? Probably want to build their own climbing wall, the antisocial lowlifes. Stealing from a public playground. Some people just suck.
Tomorrow I don't have to work if I don't want to, good timing. I somehow finished all the sketches for my book in the week since I came back from Minneapolis. That is weird because I felt like I was doing nothing but being jetlagged full time. I guess it helped that I had done a good part of the sketches on various plane rides. Anyway, I emailed them just now, so tomorrow I may just kick back and read fic, or work on my other SGA prompt, if I can hold the pencil ;). (That prompt is still kicking my ass, but I think I have a usable sketch to work from, now...)
I had more fic recs, and vids too, but I'm too tired... will post 'em later.
