the weekend was great. i did so much + should have been updating on a daily basis, but i didn't have the time. when i wasn't out i was sleeping and pretending that i'm not sick.
anyway - the weekend began on saturday night with lordkilljoy's birthday. 70s theme party featuring big hair, big glasses and big flares. it was a fabulous night of dancing and meeting people i'd not seen in years. it was so good to see lordkilljoy again. he's someone i definitely don't get to see enough of.
so then sunday was taleweavers meet and the start of dave's planescape game - nothing happened - we spent the evening making characters and watching spaced (the best geek-soap tv show ever).
monday was more gaming - only this time with barry, adrian and craig. we're trying to find the 13 lost shards of aphrodite and we got all the way to 12 on monday - so close to the end. we finished early (5ish) and that gave me a chance to go to gavindillon and jerry's barbeque. good food, a nice fire and mostly good company.
i did spend the whole weekend with a painful swollen throat and possibly a mild fever - last night was the worst. i was half asleep, having a bad coughing fit and in my delirium, i was cataloguing the time between coughs, the intensity of cough, the predicted length and intensity of the next one and it was all flashing in my brain as some kind of wierd dark skewed spreadsheet of doom. it was a bit scary, and it felt like i was coughing for about half an hour (but time is messed up during the night).
then i had this crazy dream about a construct-woman with special abilities who had been cast out of the corporation who made her. she was exiled to a deadly island and as she walked around she saw all sorts of evil looking humanoids who felt nothing but evil towards her. they didn't attack, though - just stared menacingly until it drove her insane. she got back to the town of the island and fell, begging, into the arms of her maker - crying and sobbing about the monsters. then all the monsters leapt to the attack and even though she was this wonder-woman fighting expert amazing construct, she was powerless. but then everything stopped and her maker eased her to the ground and she realized that she's been hallucinating.
it was a bit crazy.
my brain goes totally insane when i'm sick.
Glad you you had a good night, but sorry you were so sick.... you hid it well :)
