drew at 01:14am on 21/07/2008Trimmed back my basil plants and made a metric fuckton of pesto. OH GOD SO GOOD. Time to start freezing pesto cubes so I have some this winter! Also, made approximately four metric fucktons of the roommate's awesome pickle recipe -- seriously, my large (10 quart?) pasta pot is FULL TO THE BRIM with pickling cucumbers soaking in a salt/dill/jalapeño/pickling spice/mustard seed/garlic concoction as they slowly but surely turn into The Best Pickles Ever. Now I just need about 80 empty pasta jars to put them in when they're done...
Rock climbing continues to be good, and I got about 2/3 of the way up a 5.10a today, on a wall whose idea of "good holds" consisted of a lumpy thing with no traction and some round blobs. But then I got to climb a chimney at the end of the day, so that was fun. J says "if you're not falling off the walls you're climbing, you're not climbing hard enough walls" but I say that if you keep falling off, it's not really all that much fun. And honestly, I'm in it for the fun, not the panic attacks I still occasionally have halfway up a wall.
Roommate E is out of town, and I've found myself lapsing into sloth in her absence -- not bothering to Do Stuff at night or on the weekends, but rather just chilling by myself, unwinding from the week. In some sense, I guess I need the relaxation, but on the other hand, it's the summer! I should be out Doing Stuff! I should go hiking/backpacking/swimming/etc.!
Man, life as an adult is weird.
