Home sick today, but I think I needed it after one hell of a weekend...
Saturday I had planned on leaving at noon to make it up to
Then, around 12:30, Q calls. Yay! But with four dropped calls (and it takes him quite some time to get through again), that put me way behind schedule. I ended up leaving the house at 3:00 - BAH!
Still, no biggie. I called
Traffic, of course, sucked, and it was a little farther than I thought it was, but still, I ended up getting there at 6:00, figuring I would still be able to catch all the fun.
Unfortunately, Pickwick's burned down last Saturday.
So standing in front of a burned-out shell of a restaurant, I figured this party was just about a wash. I was heading back to my car when
So, the question burning in my mind (pun not intended) is, does having the place of your new daddy party burn to the ground reflect in any way on your future as a father? (The answer: No, but it makes for a great story!)
So from there I decided to stop off, pick up some coffee and donuts and head over to
Gods and goddesses represented included Hades, Pluto, and the goddess of costuming. My costume? Well, I wore one of my Unitarian Universalist t-shirts, and explained in great detail that I really wanted to come as a god or goddess, but, being UU, we really hadn't come to concensus about whether there was a god or not, and how many there may or may not be, so until the committee could come to some kind of recommendation and get it approved by the minister for approval to be voted on by the congregation at the next general meeting, I was there to respect everyone else's religious choices (or non-choices, as the case may be), and hey, can't we all agree to partake in UU communion - coffee and donuts? :) (Those who got it thought it was amusing, at least.)
So I stayed there way too late, Chris got way too drunk, and everyone was way too amusing. (Pictures will be up soon!) I found a little motel near Disneyland and crashed for the night, meeting
We stayed until closing and I didn't get home until after 1, and this morning my stomach was queasy and I had a headache, so I decided to call in sick. Just got up about an hour ago, ate breakfast, and now I'll play some CoH until I get motivated to go to the store for some groceries.
