Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

ION, I will never climb Everest. Or Nanda Devi. Frankly, I have no mountaineering drive and mourn for the price the mountain and environs can pay for the first world's drives to reach the peaks. Too lazy, me. But I get it. I was raised to get it. I'd love to see it, and I won't.

I just really hope dad doesn't punt on his hopeful trips to Nepal/Tibet and/or Mongolia in the near future. I'd love to see those places, but I'd love more for him to see those places. It means more to him, and he's got less time left than I. Hell, I have 33 years on him! eta: oh hell, this is what parents think. For their kids. I do it for my parents, all the time. Hell.

Things Younger than John McCain.

That's hysterical. But McCain is positively antediluvian so it should not surprise how many things are younger than he.

I'd love to go to Nepal or Tibet. But not for a long long long time.

In other new, I'm teaching summer school from 9-5 for 4 weeks this summer. YEAH!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have one friend who went to Nepal and one who went to Tibet. I am tame by comparison.

Whoo, summer school!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'd totally teach summer school if it were only 4 weeks. My program is 11 weeks, what a dud.

Oh! Just saw photos from China. So upsetting. The buildings just crumbled, it must have been terrifying.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ION, I will never climb Everest.

For serious. I assume we both watched Frontline -- so needlessly tragic.

ION, I will never climb Everest.

I remember telling someone I had just read Into Thin Air (about that climb). And they were like "Wouldn't climbing Everest be so amazing?"

Um, no.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Wouldn't climbing Everest be so amazing?"

Sure, the first five hundred times.

Now its just a way to risk peoples lives needlessly. If you want that kind of adrenaline rush go to the well with 12 year old girls dodging the Janjaweed, you know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Quick question--is livejournal down?
