haha! i said i’d do it, and finally, after months of achieving nothing, we have an updated web site, that does all sorts of things of its own accord. some of which i’m trying to stop it from doing, but we’ll see how we go.

updates…

america trip: Apparently I should get the DS2019 form in the next few days (woo), then I have to continue filling out forms, and be interviewed and things like that: “Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in … subversive or terrorist activities?…. Have you ever participated in genocide?”

dreadlocks: Getting dreadier and messier as we speak. They’ve been left to their own devices of late. A fair few loops, messy roots, mutant dreads trying to cannibalise others, that sort of thing.

climbing: Haven’t been doing much, people keep injuring themselves or be working, and then I’ve had to be working late a bit, so no climbing for the last couple of weeks or so.

other things: Went to be support for friends doing 12 hour mountain bike thing on the weekend. Was going to compete, but then another guy dropped out, so our team was the wrong size, so I dropped out as well. Not that worried about that, as the course was super muddy. The next day a few of us hiked up Mount Cobbler. Awesome summit. This photo is taken from the false summit as you cross the saddle to the real summit. It felt very Middle Earth/ New Zealandish. Which is of course the same thing really.

snow porn at feathertop

Well, because it looks like the snow is all gone for the year here (well, there are still bits of it around, but not enough to count), and no more trips will be happening, i’m going to have to post these photos from our last trip for the year. strictly for drooling purposes.

This was our camp (best campsite ever)

and this was the view from our camp – it’s mount feathertop :)

hoorah:
* telemarking tomorrow
* new episodes of scrubs
* going climbing this afternoon – and that the gym kitty was at the gym
* maybe getting the working in the US thing organised soon. it’s the waiting that’s so frustrating
* new songs to listen to, in the house i have to myself
* spring begins – tree outside loungeroom window now covered in leaves

boo:
* feeling sick from eating too many hedgehogs (well, actually from having just eaten two hedgehogs for lunch – the chocolatey ones, not the spikey animaly ones)
* not having climbed for around two weeks before today, feeling weak
* delete key and right arrow key on keyboard ceasing to function, now being followed by backspace and enter key
* cat sitting on me so i cant move
* now the apostrophe key has stopped working
