ION, I will never climb Everest.
For serious. I assume we both watched Frontline -- so needlessly tragic.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.
"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?
Quick question--is livejournal down?
It's working fine for me, ita, though I haven't tried ot post, just read.
LJ is working for me.
"Wouldn't climbing Everest be so amazing?"
If by, "amazing," you mean, "killer blizzards, pulmonary edema, oxygen deprivation, physical exhaustion, and temperatures similar to those in Antarctica," then yes, I suppose climbing Everest would indeed be "amazing."
Thanks. Got into another argument with Road Runner customer service. They really do tarnish their profession with a patina of hyena dung. Apparently my cable modem is giving invalid IP addresses to the machines on my home network. Which is so weird, because that's not its job. It's my router's job, and since it's to blame it's also why road runner head office couldn't get to livejournal.com.
Talk about placing power in the hands of the consumer.
Ah, eff it. Monstrously emotionally horrible evening. I'm kind of scared to try sleeping.
Yuck. Can you aim at "resting"? I save up DVD commentaries for when I can't/won't sleep. It gives me something distracting to listen to and I can turn the lights down and close my eyes, at least.
