UPS pretty much wasted most of my day yesterday. They finally came some time after they were supposed to stop making deliveries.. but on the upside, I do have my new Cellphone, and after about half an hour, I had all the phone numbers and preferences copied. I also now have a car-based charger, which is pretty handy. As I was copying the numbers, I was thinking how we always leave little cookie-crumbs of information whenever we do something.. For example, I transferred the phone numbers in alphabetical order, but entries also have numbers corrisponding to when they were entered. I changed the name of the entry that was HOME to PARENTS, and this change, and the corrisponding change in perspective since I originally got the original phone, could be deduced from the disparity between the ordering of the new names and the numbering of the new names, and in fact, the original name could be reasonably inferred from that. I imagine, if we were to invite the most careful inspectors into our lives, they might be very good at noticing these very small things, learning from my phone that over the three years since I got my original phone I've moved from thinking of my parents place as being some sort of a home base to no longer thinking that way. It would actually be interesting to hear said inspectors' report, and their reasoning behind conclusions.

One of my sisters is likely coming to visit this weekend. Frank and Yui are finally leaving the family, to a good new set of parents.

Last night, while rock climbing, I found that I can actually do a number of full-extension pull-ups (not in a row), although it's rather tiring for me. Still, this is a good thing. I also found that, because of an oops that happened 2 climbs ago while I was being lowered from a climb, I now appear to have fear reactions to the lowering part. It sucks, and it's also really weird being able to analyze it. I always had an intuition, perhaps from reading too much Freud, that understanding the nature of a fear would be sufficient, for me, to eliminate it. Not the case.. It's funny how the 'natural' view we have of self can be so wrong sometimes..
