It don't matter how it all went wrong
Dec. 13th, 2009 08:07 pmAfter waking up roughly hourly last night, I went to climb today.
It was cathartic. The best climbing partner ever was finally willing to try lead climbing - I was mightily impressed: he led a whole route on his first try, albeit with many pauses - and! I sent my very second 6C. On toprope, of course, and with much screaming and a moment of cheating, but I did it.
(The score for today: one route half-led, because of introducing Best Climbing Partner to that form of entertainment; on toprope, two 6As, one 6B, and one 6C. Also another 6C attempted, and wow, fail. I may not be perfectly energetic during the winter months.)
Afterwards, I wandered around a bookshop coveting poetry, language courses, and the Loeb Classical Library editions of Seneca's Moral Letters, and Herodotos's History. Right now, I'm sitting in my chair by the fire coveting Xboxen on Amazon UK. (I love computer games. But I haven't been able to afford a console in years, and even when my PS2 was current, I could never afford more than a game or two a year.) In conclusion: damn, but I need paying work.
Or I need to learn how to covet less.
Quote of the day: ex nihilo nihil fit.
