Well. It’s happening. We’re leaving… at 5:15am tomorrow.

I never, ever, imagined I’d be trying to figure out where to place my ice axe in pack so as to cause the least amount of issues with airport security. And the cramp-ons, too. Wait.. I’m PACKING axes and CRAMPONS? Is this seriously my life? Seriouslaw? Hotdamn!

Speaking of which, I bought ( Read more... )

“So are you ready to hit up the Little Bear/Blanca traverse yet?”
“oh, hell no!”
“…I don’t know how ‘ready’ any one is, other then being mental excited before your start it.. I was so ready for the ridge, but I wanted to do it for a few months and finally got the time to do it latter in the summer. Man, that’s a serious ridge right there!”

I tell the church folks that I haven’t left church, that I’m “spending more time in the ‘house of god’, AKA: the outdoors” and that I’ve chosen to study Religion as a scholastic (and hopefully long-term) career. Sides, I’m young.. and young people like to stay-up late and sleep-in on Sundays.

Can't post much right now. Haven't been around much online. I made a post on sat that was planned to be privet until I was able to edit later today or tomorrow. It'll be back, with less stupid errors.

In the mean time.... nothing much. Just, you know, climbed Quandary (con forg and tuna - tuna's first 14er!) and almost died, or could've been ( Read more... )

It remembers this stuff?

Frustrating weekend.

Friday: soccer. Brutal loss. Late game. Can’t sleep until 12am-ish.
Saturday: get up at 5:30.. because I can’t sleep any more with the sun up, even though I could’ve slept-in until 7am. So.. laid there, then got to work and realized I forgot my coffee. Drank starbucks, instead. Ew. Crappy customers at work.. many of them. No ( Read more... )

I'm a dork who's been trying to find a decent Obama '08 shirt. I want to have one 10 years down the line as my night shirt, even if he wasn't in office for a day. I want to be able to tell my kids, when they have to memorize his name, that I donated money. I found a Nixon/Agnew sticker in the midst of all of mom's college stuff - I want my kids to ( Read more... )

Three bands I've been told to give more of a chance to: 
Portus head
Clash
Tears for Fears

Truth be told, this came up becuase I was talking about how much I'm realizing I love Tears for Fears. Freaky.

I slept and ate pretty much all of this weekend. It was pretty freaking awesome. Not involving my diet, tho. In fact I had to miss a meeting two ( Read more... )
