Busy, busy, weekend. Ready, steady, go:

Friday: Saw this amazing, amazing band called “Spock’s Beard.” (Yes, that Spock. Remember the alternate universe episode of “Star Trek” with the beard and the eyeliner? OK, good.)

R took me to see them about a year ago — I hadn’t heard anything by them at all — and I thought they were great and put on a good show. They define themselves as a progressive rock band, but really? To me, they’re more a rock band with progressive tendencies — and none of the pretentiousness that prog rock bands can sometimes have. They’re all great musicians, they clearly love to play, but they don’t take themselves too seriously — that shows on stage, which I love in any band.

They’re currently touring around their new album, and I strongly encourage everyone to see and purchase. :)

Saturday: Agony day! And I wish I was kidding… For school (see below), we wound up walking from City Hall allll the way over to Chinatown: about the most walking I’ve tried to do in a few months, at least. I was okay for most of it, but then my leg finally started to tank. We walked from about 1:00-ish to 3:00, straight, and I think it was just too much. I’m hoping my shots came out good — we’ll see.

After class, we went to go get lunch at a Dim Sum place in Chinatown, but as we were sitting, I was feeling the muscles constricting, and I knew I needed to get home, get iced, and get pain relievers in my bod, quick. So I made a call, came back to the table (we hadn’t really ordered yet), made hasty excuses, and hobbled over to the train. I felt bad, and I’m sure my class thinks I’m a complete flake — but how do you politely say, “I’ve a leg condition, and if I stay here, I won’t be able to walk to the train?” >:P

I wound up going home and crashing on the couch, waking up disoriented about an hour before running Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace. I don’t think I was on my game that night, but we didn’t wipe too many times, so that was good. :)

Sunday: Ogred my way into the cobalt riding Talbuk. :) Cake is now at 70, with a nice set of armor and a Talbuk…and I’m a wee bit burnt. Couldn’t get motivated to do much more yesterday, so I did some PvP (poorly!) with some guildies, and will probably take a break and level my Druid next. :)

: cranky : Realized over the weekend that between the sprained ankle and the tendonitis, I haven’t been able to walk properly for about a year now. Damnit. Let’s hope this clears up soon, please, so I can do and DO things?
