I haven't been very good about posting regularly. It seems like I only think about it / have time for it about once a month. And at that point I end up writing some lame "month in review" type post, which gets boring after the second one.

I will try to mix things up more in the future.

I think work is affecting my blogging. I spend most of my day typing on the computer, so when I finally have time to play around on the Internet or update this thing, I all out of writing ability. I spent it all at work. Sorry all you loyal readers, but you are getting the last dregs of my writing ability.

In other news: I found a new game that I like. Here's how you play: take two skis, attach bindings that DON'T lock your heels down, lunge down the mountain and shred the pow. It's called telemark skiing. It hurts, but that's just because I haven't been lifting as much as in years past.

I am a member of the YMCA though. I decided to finally get a membership so that I can climb there without paying each time. Plus, they have a decent gym and a spin cycling class everyday. It sounds cool, but I'm not completely happy. Their climbing wall, which is the tallest wall in the state, doesn't have much room to belay from, so they allow only 12 people at a time to climb. STUPID. Their is definitely more people than 12 who want to climb each night. Thus, it's a race to get a pass before they run out. AND the wall is open for just a few hours each night. STUPID STUPID.

I should open my own climbing gym and steal business from the Y and be the coolest place to hang out in Bellingham. And then have the Village People write me a song.
