Saturday:
Started out well. Had an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and malaise. I thought nothing of it and went to drum lessons as normal. Talked to taogrl after my lessons and we agreed to go see X-men 3 later on.

Feeling of malaise intensified and localized in abdominal region. I knew that I was going to be in for an interesting evening. When I say "interesting", it means there will be at least one episode of fountain barfing followed by desire for the release that death will bring. However, I wasn't there, yet, and I wanted to see that movie, so off we went.

I enjoyed X-men. I never read the comics to such an extent where I would grouse about how they treated the characters. I did laugh my ass off at the scenes involving the GG Bridge. What a bunch of horse-puckey. Magneto was clearly compensating for...something.

Before returning home, we bought some Gatorade. taogrl left and I settled in for my "interesting" evening, which went exactly as anticipated. I whiled away my convalescence with watching the first three discs of season 1 of "24". I enjoyed it, yet rejoiced that I hadn't watched it over an entire 6 month period.

Sunday:
After a partially rested, then partially restful night, I woke up feeling "like new". I ate some light foods, rejoiced at keeping them down, and was ready to do something interesting. I called taogrl up and invited her along on my investigation of Oroville, CA. Pictures are available here.

I had never driven through Oroville, and I thought it a good opportunity to check the area out. My next goal will be to go to Feather Falls up there, where a 10 mile loop hike to and from the falls awaits me and any lucky guests who want to go along. It's about 94 miles north from Elk Grove, CA.

Now I'm updating livejournal while watching an old Veronica Mars episode on my computer. I'm enjoying the debate Mac has with a fellow computer nerd of OsX versus Ubuntu. Hilarious.

I hope everyone else's weekend went marvelous!
