Only One Quiet Weekend This Month
Nov. 15th, 2011 04:50 pmClimbing this week: Passed a 5.8-, failed a 5.9, climbed a weird 5.7, failed some bouldering courses. Overall, not as bad as I'd expected after missing it for a while.
Last weekend was the first quiet weekend I've had in a while. Next weekend I'll be on the train back to Cleveland for Thanksgiving break. Julie will be visiting before Thanksgiving on one leg of a zig-zag cross-country tour.
I finished reading A Game of Thrones, which was good, or at the very least one of the fastest 800-page books I've ever read. The TV show is in some ways better, the pacing is tighter (by necessity), some of the foreshadowing has clearly been edited with the benefit of hindsight, the most awesome scenes are preserved (or, in some cases, improved), and the few tweaks to characterization are mostly improvements. I recommend both.
