21. Carrie Vaughn, Kitty Raises Hell.
Light, entertaining fun, with werewolves and demons and paranormal investigators. The sixth Kitty book, and very fun.
Today I achieved a draft of my essay on Roman frontier structural archaeology. All that remains is to add five lines on Britain, and I am completely done with it. There is quiet rejoicing chez-moi, I assure you.
The next project is the essay on the theology of Paul's "Romans 11," about which I fear to speak. Well, I've faced worse. Not much worse, it's true, but still. A little nasty shouty angry saint like Paul isn't going to beat me.
Running: 7.5mph for 5 minutes, and onwards with walking and running for another 15 minutes. Mostly walking. My triumph climbing, however, is mighty and great. I didn't think it'd be such a good night: I started out traversing and feeling tired, but then Andy and Alex arrived. I tried my hand at another awful orange 6c, and last night's horrible reachy 6b, without getting very far. Alex did show me how to use a gri-gri, so that was something new.
When Alan and an enthusiastic Swedish Erasmus student arrived, though, things kicked off. I went up the grey 5, and then! A blue 6b!
Oh, with many stops, and I didn't actually finish the last move: I touched the last hold with my fingertips for half a second and fell off. But, still. Nearly all the way up a 6b! Even if it is an easy one.
After that, I fell off last night's yellow 6b without even matching last night's achievement of halfway, and then did the two slab 5s and the neon 3 back-to-back. I also led most of the way up the grey 5, but I stopped before the last two clips, because I really didn't feel like taking a fall at that point, and while I could probably have managed not to fall? I didn't want to chance it.
Falling is no fun when you're sleepy.
I'm stiff like a really stiff thing now, though. And I still need to straighten the furniture and clear off a table, because tomorrow a friend's coming out to watch Criminal Minds - lots and lots of Criminal Minds - and I still need somewhere to put the laptop.
