Ordinarily, when bringing a beginner out alone, I don't mind giving a basic lead-belay lesson because I can pick a super easy route to do it on, but this was different. So she found someone to go with and we're going in about an hour. WOO HOO! Wooo! Pics and TR expected and demanded!

For a second I thought the site lied to me, there were no new posts and I was led to page one.

Hrmm... I think I'm getting sick, or am already sick.
If the upset stomach, headaches, sore throad, nausea and lack of apetite this week weren't convincing me this week...
... tonite's battle entitled "vomiting vs. diarrhea: which will get to go first?" is probably the last hint I needed.
After working 12 consecutive days, this is what I really needed on my only day off.

Looks like Rescueman is setting himself up for a learner style downfall. Holy carp is he full of himself!
How funny are his comments about "The Mountaineers Rest Step" though? Bwahahahaha!

The guy is a tool, hence why I post bullshit in his hijacked threads.
If they could only be moved to community, I could really have fun

Disappointingly, there has been no reply.

Telling her about the joke, or literally telling her the joke?

Nice. I would like a full granite friction report on your return.

OMFG! I just found out that Craig Brewer, the guy who wrote/directed Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan, wrote and directed the new Footloose movie.
So, the question is - did the studios somehow convince him to make a shitty movie that the mindless masses will watch will make money, or is the new trailer a decoy? Personally I am hoping for the latter but the combination of the director, source material and the trailer has my head spinning.

both. it's kind of hard to tell that joke to an ESL person without explaining it. I didn't use the feces angle that Saget took. Instead I leaned more to the incestuous rape side. She was more stunned at first, but laughed once she got it.

Kenny Loggins was the best soundtrack musician out there for a while.

searching for apartments is a pain here. In Chile, it was easy, but here, with the culture, people don't trust anyone. For instance, one rental agency said that if I don't get anyone to be my guarantor, then I'd have to pay the equivalent of one year's rent up front as a guarantee, and then I'd have to pay my monthly rent, too. Of course, I'd get that one year back when I moved out...but WHAT...THE...FUCK?!?!?!
Fortunately, this only applies if one goes through an agency. If one goes through an owner then this bullshit is easier to manage. Unfortunately most apartments go through an agency.
We're thinking of starting a website to bring tenants and landlords together. Who's in?

Actually telling the joke is a bold move. Good work.

Plus I just found out that I qualify for getting funding as an independent this year for uni as I have been living alone with Cait for a year. 
That is pretty sweet. To get that in America, you have to jump through all sorts of crazy hoops.
