I made a good call to stay home and do laundry and housework then Yeah, but you missed your chance to try out your cold weather clothing system. You need to bring your boots over this week so we can try some crampons on them. I think we have a set that will work.
Thats the problem I don't really have a cold weather clothing system.
And thursday is the tentative night. I will bring the boots

GG, your showers are superb I assume? No shower curtain yet.  But the shower stall does look superb!  Maybe I should snap some photos. All you need is a cheap plastic sheet. We have a shower curtain. We needed to decide on a curtain rod. Now I need to get new ends for the rod we have and carefully drill holes through the tile to hang it up.
Tile work sucks.
The part I hated most was sealing the grout.

You are correct. But it's allright that they blast a football field size hole in the side of it to build an expressway, but climbers can't clip bolts on the already bolted part of escarpment because of access.

It's a lizard. Gecko specifically. three of them in my room 2 small ones and a large one. Were there crickets too? That would be just like Okel's house, but with more geckos. No, lots of moths though and mosquitos. do you sleep inside a mosquito net then or get eaten alive?

The movies are shown pretty much timed with the video release. A lot of older movies get a repeat showing too.
My roommate and I had a habit of prepartying then filling up a 1 liter sized plastic cup to take to the movie. The liter cup would be filled ~75% with vodka, ~15% juice concentrate, and ~10% ice.
One day we prepartied a little harder then normal, and we barely were standing before we even arrived.
Evan had some vague connection to the Sunday night movie crew. So, he argued for about 15 minutes that we should get in free. Eventually we were let in. In part because they didn't care to argue, and also in part because the movie was mostly over.
It turned out to be "bring out the dead." I didn't know at the time what we were going to see. We walked down to the front, and as you can see from this pic:
The front row provides easy access to the stage.
So, we get down to the front row. I sit in the chair. I look up and see the main character's face. I yell out the one movie I know with that guy in it..."FACE OFF". Then I fall out of my chair, and I pass out sprawled across the stage.
Eventually I get up and realize I am going to puke. I run to the public bathroom on the main floor of our university center. I make it there JUST in time, but I can't make it to a toilet. So, I go for the sink. I fill up 2 sinks with my puke. During the time I am puking, there is anywhere from 1-4 people in the bathroom. I never could figure it out. There were like 2-3 mirrors in there to throw me off.
After I finished off, I went back in and kicked evan. We left to go find some house parties.
fun times fun times
I still haven't seen bring out the dead other then the one image of the main character seared into my mind.
OK, your story time
