Has anyone seen these PS3 commercials? Up until just now, I've only seen the eggs one. It's a little out there, but it's kind of cool. And so just now I saw the baby one. And, man, there's no "kind of" anything about it. It's just straight creepy.

I died three times.

This past weekend, Jennie and I were fortunate enough to tag along with her former coworkers and their friends to a Joshua Tree outing. And with the majority being rock climbing enthusiasts, we got the chance to partake in the festivities.

In the US, climbs are rated on a scale from 5.0 to 5.14. As a zero-experienced climber, I was somehow persuaded into trying a 5.7+ climb. And try I did, but once I got to the part that actually put the climb at a 5.7+ rating, I lost my grip.

Three times I tried.

Three times I died.

Okay, so it was only like 15 feet up and maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but I'm guessing if I wasn't attached to a rope, I would've smashed my head on a rock on the way down. I think next time (yes, there will be a next time), I'll give it a whirl in a gym where I can gradually work my way up to the more difficult routes.

Oh, and this trip was also the first for my new pal, the Nikon D80.
