Thanks. 31 hours door-to-door. I´m happy to be here though.
Lisbon was pretty nice for the six hours I was there while waiting for my connection to Sevilla. Pics to come later.
Went to the bridge that is a climbing wall here. Pretty sweet.

It is a bit cold, but nothing like the damp, raw cold of New England. We got about an inch in Denver on Christmas Day, and it's largely gone. I have certainly climbed in worse conditions back home, just need to find a steep, south facing crag and then a day that fits everyone's schedule.
Went into Boulder yesterday for a hike, some Pearl St mall action, and then saw Django Unchained (F¥<€img awesome!!!) with Max.

I'll drink it straight or mixed. but that should work just fine for caipirinha.
pics to come later. been busy. probably going to put them up on the stalkbook first. gotta refriend me - bitch.

Drank, but unfortunately the aunt and uncle in charge of bringing the wine, where at their son's this Christmas. So for once I could drink, there was none to partake. I only scored some wine at home on Christmas eve.
Scored a little new swag. New pair of La Sportiva's. Got them severel weeks ago, after my Red Chillis blew out on the Josh trip. Also scored triplet of small lockers.  But the real theme for this Christmas was Flashlights. Got a couple nice small high powered LED flashlights, several low powered LEDs flashlights and a headlamp. Unfortunately the only thing I got that said Petzl on it was the headlamp. Which is a nice little lite weight one, but not very bright. But hey, I got not one but two high powered flashlights. 
Hope everyone else had a good Christmas.

Not bad at all. Should be able to get some sport wanking done at Table Mtn. Gets good sun exposure.
Tried to see Django last night but the xmas holiday crowed scared me away. The line out front was epic.

Apparantly thats pretty much the only brand regularly imported to the US. In VA, unless I want to do some real leg work, thats my only option.

The food is the important part. The drink is just a bonus!
Its nice to have a backup headlamp. Mine always die at the most inconvenient times. I swear it's some sort of conspiracy.

Although with a little luck we'll get some gym sesh in, in the next couple of daze.
Headed to the gym tonight. I'm going climbing this weekend regardless. Even if I have to fly solo.

It'll work for caipirinha, though, so give it a shot.
pics are up on the stalkbook and flickr. I'll be disappointed if you ask for the flickr link.

My first attempt at making Creme Brûlée has been successful.
I can see myself getting very fat in the near future, perhaps a coronary by mid 2013.

did you make a bacon-flavored one? I imagine the blowtorch would make that easy to do.
