NKotB There was a New Kids on the Block music video playing at the gym tonight, and not a vintage one either. A new one. Scary stuff. The dude on the right looks like he's doing a Ronald McDonald impression.
Braiiiiins There's a live video feed of some guy's brain being sliced to pieces. Slowly. Note: the guy is dead and the brain is frozen.
Cohutta Two days in the Cohutta Wilderness, where I met exactly five people, including two pistol-packing horsemen who shared homemade peach schnapps from a mason jar. I came back with twenty-one thorn cuts and every intention of returning, but only in winter.
Speed Cube I ordered a Speed Cube. The movement is impossibly light, but the orange and red are nearly indistinguishable unless they're adjacent, so it hasn't actually made me faster. I think I'll take a marker to one of them.
Smudge The new Spot Messenger finally showed up in stores, and now there's one in my pocket named Smudge. Also: my gym thinks my wife doesn't count as family, and the Garmin Oregon's topo data is gorgeous but still stupid expensive.
Hooooooooome Ten hours door-to-door, thanks to New York air traffic control. But I discovered the Delta Crown Room exists, and now I plan to arrive at the airport absurdly early forever.
There's a moose... "There's a moose. Where's my gun?" Actually I was reaching for my iPod, but a desert eagle in Alaska would have been cooler.
I'd rather be ice climbing Winter is nearly here and Ouray is icing up. New season, new ice tools, and one of them is simply beautiful. By the time I'm back from Ecuador it should be all out madness.
