Aw, astronaut didn't make the summit. Core temp was fluctuating too much and he had signs of the thing where your lung bubbles pop due to strain (temps between something ridic like 93 and 103. I think they swallowed a probe or had one implanted to get data on core temps. At least he didn't get too sick. We need him!!!)
Looks like a bunch of people died or were badly injured on the periphery during the filming of this NOVA. Hence, the title:
Deadly Ascent
I'd love to see some of the places climbers go, but it is too brutal for me, I do believe.
Here's the map, I think: [link]
Heh. It's rather out-of-date....
Aw. the map. Cass is in the wrong state now.
Here's the other one: [link] (it wasn't loading for me)
i'm watching old school Buffy with mom. AIFG!!
welcome, Gadget Girl!
Hm. What should I have for supper?
I mostly intend to curl up in bed with my laptop and attempt to write, but mostly watch television.
ION, I'm getting one of those touch iPods for chrismakah!!!!
OMG - Spiders on Mars!
Quick, someone tell David Bowie!
I had this for dinner and Epicurious immediately told Facebook about it. Which was freaky, but also kind of neat. (The Facebook thing, not the actual food. The food was nummy.)
It doesn't seem nearly as bad as predicted though.
It really isn't. I left for work 30 minutes early yesterday morning and this morning, and the commute from Liberty to downtown KC was the normal 30 minutes driveway-to-desk. Wet, but not slippery at all. And at at 6 a.m. the traffic isn't bad either.
I think I shall make some brownies.
