Oy, what a weekend.

Don't get me wrong--it was great. It was also exhausting, though. Saturday afternoon,

pierceheart and I drove down to RI. We hung out with my mom for a little while, then headed into Providence to meet up with

j4yx0r and

my_buried_heart at Trinity Brewhouse. Hugs were given and received and food and beer were consumed with glee. We then went over to see the Improv Jones show, and as a result will never think of monsters under the bed in the same way again. Back to Trinity for more booze, and then over to Haven Brothers for a late-night nosh. What better place for a late-night nosh than the oldest diner in America? We hung out on the steps of the courthouse for a while afterwards, while

j4yx0r played guitar. We got back to my parents' house at about 3am and went to bed.

All too soon, we were up again. We met up with

j4yx0r and

my_buried_heart again to head back up to Boston. Dim sum started our day very nicely. Then we hung out at the Museum of Science for the rest of the day. We saw the lightning show and an Omni presentation on the Galapagos islands. Very fun. Dinner was at another beer joint, naturally: Sunset. The waiter was an idiot, but we had a great time. I should post pictures soon to show the array of glasses on our table. By the time we got out of there, it was after 10. We went back to my place, had a little good scotch, and bid adieu to the Californian duo. Then we crashed. Hard.

Yesterday was spent in good ol' Memorial Day stuff: grilling and gardening. I worked in the garden while

pierceheart tinkered with his grill and smoked up a couple chickens. I made potato salad, cole slaw, and corn on the cob to go with it...but no beer.

So yeah, it was a great weekend, but I've been feeling a little off-kilter since Sunday with coughing (not so much anymore), sore throat (still there) and an achy tiredness (pretty bad now). If it gets worse I'll take tomorrow off. Right now, I just want to curl up and go back to bed. Oook.
