Lazy Saturday Thoughts

Right now I'm listening to Nine Inch Nails. Downward Spiral. On SuperAudio, courtesy of my roomate. Damn that's good stuff -- if you have not tried it, I highly recommend it.

The days have been really gorgeous lately, the miracle of late-spring/early-summer that hits San Francsico every year for about a month, before the fog descends and the sweaters make a return. However, for now my sweaters are in the back of my closet, and the t-shirts have taken center stage. Of course, it's nothing compared to the middle east where some family is, or even France where other friends are currently vacationing. But hey, it's home.

I've been getting out bouldering lately, trying to get myself to a place where I can legitimately call myself a boulderer without shaming the rest of the community. Castle Rock State Park is where I normally go -- filled with great big sandstone boulders. Lots of slopers, which are my weakest point, so it's great to get practice on that stuff. Typically I've been a gym rat up until now, but I really cannot justify that nowadays with Apollo shining down on us the way he has been lately. My goal is to be a decent boulderer by return of the harvest. Let's see how well I can hold to that.

As soon as I figure out how to post photos on this thing, I'll start doing that more. I'm sure it's very simple, but I'm also quite technically incompetent......although I do want to learn HTML so I can create my own website. But when I know how to do all that, I'll post photos of climbing and our great little garden in the back, courtesy of my other roomate, which we just finished putting sod down on this morning. (Come to think of it, this house doesn't owe anything to me except a lot of books, and a periodic supply of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.)

I know I've said this before, but tomorrow I really do plan on buying a phone. The Motorola "Razr", which of course also means switching to Cingular. Wish me luck.
