Teaser Trailer

Well, it's been a while, as an astute reader noted.

Since my last entry, healthcare reform passed (good?), the Winter Olympics happened (cool?), I passed non-linear controls (no idea how this happened), the Gulf of Mexico turned into the world's largest oilfield (and it seems like we're doing nothing about it), the Nuggets and Avalanche got eliminated in the first round (glad the Avs made the playoffs, disappointed the Nuggets didn't do better), I discovered K'Naan (If Rap Gets Jealous) the Shins & Arcarde Fire for the first time (loving Funeral &Chutes Too Narrow + New Slang, jury's out on Neon Bible, Oh, Inverted World, & Wincing the Night Away) Iron Man II came out (haven't seen it (or Avatar)), the iPad came out (awesome, except for the whole proprietary aspect), the Chilean Earthquake probably shifted the Earth's axis & shortened it's days (thank you Wikipedia), Eyjafjallajokull erupted (still no idea how to pronounce it), it snowed in May (and I didn't go skiing), I cut my hair (not myself), and hell still hasn't frozen over. Sweet.

Now mentally re-read that in the same voice as the dude who does the all the action movie narration….


 

…Doesn't really make it much better does it? It's too bad because it could be a preview of what's to come. Or I might never talk about it again. Think of this as a teaser trailer of what's going to happen. Or rather what could happen. Since I'm free for the semester, all IM & boulder parks & rec sports are over, I've got nothing to do. But get in shape and work my ass off. Oh, and go camping, climbing, hiking, travelling, (all around adventuring), and blogging. At least once a week, starting now, ending when school starts again. I kindof promise. Enjoy!

    Matt pointed me to your blog...so I'm only stalking by association. Hope you're not weirded out.

    We should do an official music swap sometime...complete with external hard drives. I love Laika on Funeral. Shins will always have a special place in my heart, despite the movie Garden State.

    If you're down for a backpacking trip, let me know. I'm thinking about planning one soon...gotta test out the new GoLite gear. :)

    Hurrah! An update!

    Since intramurals are over, it means that it is 14er season. Maybe some races may be in order. Oh, the possibities---and you can blog about all of them.

    By the 13th century, the board 카지노 recreation Go, originally performed solely by the aristocracy, had become in style among the general public. Tables video games shouldn't be confused with table video games that are casino gambling video games like roulette or blackjack. The Trips bonus pays odds in case your ultimate five-card hand is a three-of-a-kind or higher.

Part II: An Afternoon in Paklenica

Note: I've recently returned from an amazing trip to Slovenia and Croatia. This next series of posts (if I ever finish them) will describe some of the highlights, primarily with a climbing focus. Ok, you got me. It's almost 100% about climbing. Here's part two, An Afternoon in Paklenica. Route Summary (out of four stars): Vaginalna Manipulacija,  6a+ (20m): ★ Gerovit,  6c+/7a (14m) :  ★★★ (Awesome short route. Probably a fantastic warm-up for its neighbors) Butter Keks,  5c (18m): ★ (I don't remember this route, but know I climbed it) Crni Gad , 6b (20m):    ★★★★ (So good. Oh, so good). It's 1 pm, Martin and I are baking in the sun, and we haven't matched any of guidebook topos with walls. We're staring at this small, flat metal triangle drilled into the base of a seemingly blank, overhanging wall. Enscripted on the triangle is a route name and grade: Il Maratoneta,  8b+. We're not climbing this. We hike uphill a little farther,...

Verbal Constipation

Turns out I've got a disease. A bad disease. Well, it's not actually a disease. It's just an anti-diarrhea of the mouth. Think of as verbal constipation. As in you get into to a conversation or argument with someone, and only when it's all over do you actually realize how both of you were wrong and right. To keep running with the constipation theme, something isn't right, but you can't get it out until it's too late. Hmmm…I might have just taken that too far. Point is, the stuff you wanted to say, you suddenly never got the chance to say. And the stuff you did say was just dumb. Writing's a little different. Rather than being caught off guard and having conversations getting steered into directions you weren't expecting, you've got the chance to put your thoughts down. Read them over. Find the holes in your logic yourself. Fix them. Find the holes again. Leave 'em, and see whether somebody else catches them. It's essentially common knowle...

Shelf Actualization (A February Trip Recap)

Image
Marek on Gym Arete Direct (Adam) Nowadays, good climbing trips require electrolyte infused hard seltzers, dive bars with Dave Dangle, and good weather. Great climbing trips require some Rocky Mountain oysters, meeting the voice of the Enormocast, and secret blue point competitions... Saturday : Graham, Adam, and I ambitiously planned to send all of our projects on Day 1. Ah, Shelf, the place where great expectations go to die--although we did start strong! First stop: the Gym, where we immediately hopped on the  Gym Arete , and only to hear the unmistakable voice of the Enormocast (Chris Kalous) turn the corner behind us! Awesome guy. In the company of such esteemed greatness, we all sent: Graham and Adam, the Gym Arete; myself, the  direct start. Next stop: Spiney Ridge, to settle a score with  Hurricane . I weathered the storm, but Adam was tragically flooded away. For dinner, we met Christina at Pizza Madness, where Graham dropped some fighting words with the wa...
