Friday glee is performing "Taxi Driver" in Irish, I think

Climbing? Training? Locked down? Vaccinated? Paused? Volunteering? Dreaming of freedom?

Video: Moonwalking | Behind the scenes of Sean Villanueva’s solo Fitz Roy traverse

No footage of him actually climbing as he was alone on the traverse, but lots of excited shouting (and singing) from peaks, and some truly spectacular views.

I went climbing in the new gym last weekend! It was fabulous. The people were super nice. Kiara and I took the belay class because she'd never had to tie in before. It was wonderful. We both climbed pretty damn well.

I was up in the North Cascades this week -- no real srs bznss hiking, just work, but the weather was gorgeous and I got my camping equipment out for the first time since, oh, late October (stove failed out completely and has been left with the repair shop in Seattle for an overhaul).

Hah! Here's his goat song lyrics in English and Irish both, it's a pretty famous song. Also the "Are you talking to me?" is from "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom" (here's the scene), a pretty famous short video about a Chinese guy who, dissatisfied with his life, decides to move to Ireland... so he learns Irish, and arrives in Ireland speaking Chinese and Irish, but not English.

But the "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom" scene is him imitating the "Taxi Driver" scene, right?

Thanks for the references! Also apologies for referring to Gaelic in the post title when I meant "Irish"; as someone with a Scottish friend who's Duolingo-ing Gaelic (the Scottish one), I should know better. Now corrected.

It's some famous movie, but I've never seen "Taxi Driver", so, probably?

Thanks for the welcome and unexpected correction! (Nearly everyone who doesn't live in Ireland and doesn't speak Irish calls it Gaelic, which is as you say wrong, but I'm so used to it that I don't even bother to correct it most of the time. I am touched by your unexpected attention to detail!)
