Concerning Geese

So I woke up yesterday afternoon naked and soaking wet on the bathroom floor, with a nice goose egg/cut on my forehead. I have no recollection of anything happening prior to that. Either I passed out and hit my head on the way down, or I slipped in the shower and knocked myself out. Low blood sugar maybe? My friend Rob thinks I have a weird blood condition where your blood pressure gets really low when exposed to hot water. All in all an eventful day.

I went and saw the Dark Knight Saturday morning. I've got to say, in my book at least, one of the best movies I have ever seen. I know everyone is saying this, but Heath Ledger's acting was some of the best I have ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen a movie villain who was so completely believable. But the whole movie in general was amazing. I sure hope they make a sequel.

In other news, some stuff happened.

Roast Chicken

So I went out to falls creek waterfall with a friend yesterday. About 6 months ago half of the rock face collapsed. It's not safe to cliff jump anymore, but it was still fun to swim around in the pond above the falls, and play around under the waterfall. It is absolutely gorgeous out there, I'm glad I got to go again, it's been a few years. Whilst I was playing in the pond, I dove in, and got a nose full of water. Almost immediately on of my tonsils started hurting, I wonder if a parasitic leech or something got rammed up the old shnoz. So I'm not quite sure what I did, but both of my tonsils are throbbing in pain now. Good times.

On a "lighter" note, I forgot to bring sunblock, so my whole back and arms and neck are fried. I was wearing my wolf head pendant, so I do have a cool tan-line. Get it.. "lighter"... because I got burned by the light? *insert laugh here* Luckily the sunburn isn't very painful, but on top of my throat, it's a pretty uncomfortable situation.

Aside from the pain and misery and what not, yesterday was the most fun I've had in years. It did me good to get out of town and just spend a day not stressing out about life. I wish I had more time to do such things, but oh well. I'll try to post some pictures of the waterfall shortly.

Congratulations to Pete & Christy on their new baby. She's definitely a cutie. But that goes without saying, she is a Leman after all :)

The Laptop Is Okay!

So after a rousing July 4th of watching a bunch of old star trek movies, then watching our beloved sheriff lighting off illegal fireworks, I hopped on my bike for a quick ride home. About 200 yards away from the house I was at, I came upon a small winding path. Unfortunately I couldn't see exactly where the path wound, and my front tire went into a hole, the bike stopped, and I didn't. I had my laptop in my backpack, and my first thought as I was floating through the air was, "gee, I hope my laptop survives." Luckily, my face took the brunt of the fall, and my more vital body parts like my hands and chest and such escaped unscathed. After recovering from the initial shock of the fall, I tried to get up, only to discover that my thigh was pinned between the handle bar and the frame of the bike. It took me awhile to untangle myself. And it left a pretty nice bruise in the process. So that's basically it. I hurt.
