A weekend sans X
Friday 2008-01-18:
The LSXv went to see across the universe. X has a good time and likes the music. The movie tried to do so much. In some cases it succeeded, but in others it failed. They needed more money and time to make it more polished. Too bad -- it's is a cool idea. I think it would be cool if they make some Pink Floyd music into a movie....
Saturday 2008-01-19:
The SXv drop me off in Albany, OR so I can catch the Amtrak to Portland. I went to see JHogan. Portland was grand fun. We went to Ground Control and play ancient arcade games. We made many high scores. Ms. Pacman gets particularly hard when the ghost no longer turn blue. I got the mud-pie level in Donkey Kong. J8H got to level four in Tron. As usual I sucked in Tempest.... Those games are wicked hard.
Sunday 2008-01-20:
We drive to Astoria, OR to celebrate the goonies. We lunch at a Bosnian place and have some great food. We go to see the Astoria Column. It was grand. We drove to Seaside, OR and grabbed a motel on by the beach. J8H wanted time to nap, read, journal, and stuff. I went out to explore the beach. Droves of folk were headed out to clam. I decided I would run. I went south toward Tilamook Head for 30+ minutes and walked back. I returned some 1.5-2.0 hours later. My desire for Cloverfield was not to be staunched so we went and enjoyed. We spent too much time driving back. We saw so little old-growth on the drive. They have hacked this state into one big tree-farm. It would have been grand to have seen this place in the 30s when many of the grand valleys still stood.

Prior to going to bed I watched Randy Pausch's Last Lecture. Quite amazing. The way he deals with mortality is a big reason to like this, but he does so much more.
X starts getting really sick.
May I suggest some Su?
Tuesday 2008-01-22:
Some time around 0530 I get asleep after trying to help X in his sickness. I think this is the worse night ever with any illness he has suffered. I woke up around 1400, but could hardly think. Sleep deprivation is poopy.
Wednesday 2008-01-23:
They folks are making tons of noise in our Flat. There is a suspicion that sound travels too well from our unit to our neighbor below. I am in a coffee shop drinking herbal tea. Caffeine is poopy and shall not be consumed.
Here is some older stuff:
-Sunday I went on a hike to traipse in Oregon Old Growth. I found out a tad more about the WOPR initiative.
-XMas was white. We traipsed to Mary's Peak to see more snow with the Kimdom Complex.
-Tried to work on the day after.
