Tried a Little Climbing

So it was a pretty quiet weekend, much like the week before it :) On Friday evening we stayed in and watched Series. We spent a lo of time with our bunnies this weekend too.

Saturday was equally uneventful, aside from the required grocery shop and a minor emotional breakdown on my part ... I tried to go shopping for some new clothes. Varen tried warning me that lately this has been detrimental to my mood, but I was determined none the less. And he was right. I don't know if it's all my fault tho ... some blame must be laid at he door of these ridiculous shops because I can't find a damn thing that I'd like to wear (although admittedly one the rare occasion when I do it just looks awful and doesn't fit right - blegh!). So that mostly ruined Saturday afternoon for us an we spent the evening watching 88 minutes.

In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since he was responsible for the condemnation of the serial killer Jon Forster, influencing the jury to sentence Forster to death row. Forster accuses Gramm of manipulation, inducing one witness and the sister of one of his victims to testify against him.

On the eve of Forster's execution, Gramm receives a phone call telling him that he has only eighty-eight minutes of life left. Meanwhile, someone is copycatting Forster, killing women with the same modus operandi and is being investigated by the Seattle Slayer Task Force.

With the support of associate Shelly Barnes, an FBI agent, plus his friend Frank Parks and his assistant Kim Cummings, Gramm investigates some weird and problematic students, a security guard of the campus and the woman with whom he had a one-night stand as his 88 minutes continue to tick off the clock.

It was a pretty decent movie although I predicted a slightly different end (but close enough to the truth). Actually I think my ending might've been cooler and was much more "Life of David Gale".

Sunday was way more productive ;) We woke p, grabbed a quick Spinach, Feta & Red Pepper Scrambled Eggs for breakfast (my current breakfast of choice ... Varen does it perfectly!) and headed off to Wonder Wall. Varen's been trying to get me to go with him since he started climbing again (admittedly only about 2 or 3 weeks ago) and even The Divine Miss M and MsMozi have been trying to convince me to give it a bash.

It wasn't too bad, but I'm not addicted like Varen & Miss M. Varen & I both learned to belay so that we could help each other climb. I tried a couple of level 13 climbs (the easiest) and I didn't get to the top of any of them. I have a minor panic about 3/4 of the way up the wall and then glidee slowly down. But no doubt we'll try it again sometime, I haven't been put off entirely. Although I have little interest in the actual rock-climbing part of it and doubt I'll be adventuring into the outdoors to do this, as exercise, for now I think it's more fun than gym :)

nd then Squeak came over for a braai. It was the 4 year anniversary of her mom's death and GalleryGirl is currently in Spain (lucky thing, jet-setting to baby-sit paintings!) so we didn't want her spending the day alone. It was a lovely afternoon and we ate excessively :)

Oh, I almost forgot, we bought the bunnies an indoor bed which they seem to be enjoying. They are soo cute :)
