Yesderday I went to Cadiz with the Michigan-Cornell-Penn group. Cadiz is beautiful and, after seeing the first/most famous Camera Oscura, I've decided that I'm going to have to build one at some point (i.e. whenever I end up settling somewhere long enough to do so). I also learned that it is not a good idea to climb brittle-looking and brittle-feeling rock. It turns out that these characteristcs may actually indicate that the seen/felt rock is in fact brittle, and therefore not an ideal place for hanging one's person. Fortunately, my 12-15 foot fall found me on my feet 12-15 feet lower on a large, flat slab of concrete (next to two large not-so-flat pieces of concrete), completely intact but for a few ripped fingertips and a scraped elbow. Thank God I had my climbing shoes on, otherwise my feet probably wouldn't be working too well. Then again, had I not had my climbing shoes, I probably wouldn't have been climbing a big wall without ground under it...Mostly I felt bad for the few of my friends who happened to see me fall, as I'm sure it was much more frightening for them. But onto more important things. I swam in the ocean and saw semi naked people running on warm sand. Sadly, I think it's the overweight wrinkly one who's managed to fight hardest for a place in my memory. Shame!
I'm working on getting a photo website going, so check back soon for updates. It's gonna be hot. Get ready...
Also, there's a bullfight tomorrow and a group of kids are going to it. I know it's a cultural thing, but I have pretty seriously mixed feelings about the whole thing (i.e. I think it's disgusting and cruel), so I'm not really sure what to do. Any thoughts/opinions on whether it'll be worth it?
P.S. I'm probably going to kill my roommate in his sleep within the next week or so, so if the readers would kindly begin developing reliable, or at least creative, interesting-to-read alibis, that would be really great. Thanks.
More to come within the week (probably).

Here's how you get out of getting caught, get "drunk" and hook-up with a less than desirable women. When the girl falls into a deep sleep, kill your roommate. Then drink lots more, enough to ensure that you will be drunk in the morning. Then go back to bed. In the morning vomit on the pillow that you used as a murder weapon, making sure the ugly chick witnesses the throw up soiling the pillowcase. Dispose of the pillow case by burning it or throwing it away somewhere far from your home. Invite the girl to the store with you and buy another pillowcase. When the police question you, your alibi will be the undesirable hook-up. Only after much interrogating will you shamefully admit to hooking with the ugly chick. They'll question the girl, who will be so excited to prove that she got some that she will rave about your performance all night long. The police will be too busy making fun of you to consider you a valid murder suspect. P.S. make sure there are no fibers on the pillowcase that could be inhaled. I saw that on CSI once.

You are such a stoner!
Hey, I just caught up on your blog. I'm excited for you about the guitar. I promise to not ask questions about what exactly goes on in said "cafe".
