Happy year of the rat, everyone! I was a good Chinese kid and had fish last night for dinner (after being reminded by both my mom and my brother.) A special thanks to Yar and Jan for picking up my dinner for me from Pacific Catch. I was coming back to the city from climbing and wasn’t going to make it back to the city before closing, so I called in the order had JanYar pick it up for me. I ordered grilled escolar which was actually really good, but if you check out the wikipedia article I linked to, you’ll find some interesting information under the section titled “Effects of consumption”. I did have some mild “issues” today, but I’m not sure if it was the escolar, coincidence, or psychological. In any case, I may be avoiding this particular fish in the future.

In climbing news, I had a pretty good night last night and did a 10a, a 10d, and two 11as. I’m a little sore today, but I’m glad that I’m getting into better climbing shape. I’m also going to run at the gym today, so this is shaping up to be a pretty healthy start to the (Chinese) new year.
