The Moment

A few points of news:
- On Wednesday I was finally able to get my "Carte de Sejour", meaning that after living in France for approximately five months, I'm legally allowed to be here. Valid beginning the 20th of August, 2009. In other news, the ID photo is great.

- It was sunny all weekend and I went climbing at Saint Bauzille de Montmel, ticking off a couple of 6b's. I would have liked to climb Wednesday afternoon, but I had to get the card. I have found a partner for Wednesdays, though, and I'm excited to get out and climb during the week.

- It rained yesterday, and today the sky is clear and blue. I might go to the Zoo. I am generally in good spirits.

- On Saturday I am going to La Clape, which is a massif of limestone near Narbonne, an hour to the South. On Sunday I'll be at Seynes, another nice area about an hour to the Northeast. On Wednesday I'll be climbing with Florence, and the next weekend I hope to be in Les Pyrenées Orientales, climbing some multipitch. I'll try to take some photos.

- Despite my bloggy tardiness, I did make a playlist the week. This week's show is even more narrative and a little less music, somewhere in between college radio and "The News From Lake Wobegon". I'm not sure how I like it, and I think maybe next week I'll be a little heavier on the music. Let me know what you think.
