Amanda and I rented 'IMAX's Everest' from Hollywood Video (since I have unsuccessfully tried to downloaded a DVD rip of it for the past two weeks), I highly recommend it - I think its the first time a documentary has ever brought tears to my eyes.

But the reason I mention it is: the entire time I was watching these three strangers coming together to do something so amazing, it sparked a kind of hopeful confidence that had quietly faded in the past few (boring... suspenseful) weeks. I had lost ahold on that feeling of "this is an adventure/ journey/ challenge/ and I can't doubt myself already - or I'll never last".

But unfortunately Amanda is watching 'Thirteen' now, and the movie is kinda a buzz-kill as far as inspiration goes. Listening to two underage (bitches) teens... bitch,doesn't do alot of inspiring.
I'm only 45 minutes into it and I'm already convinced I never want to have a daughter.

Anyways, enough about that (terrible movie), we got our first comment the other day, by the one and only Mark Maynard from Crimewave USA... it's an honor.
