I did a lot this weekend. I conquered one universe and traversed what felt like another universe. I moseyed on over to Jeremy's place after work on Friday night, forcing him, Matthew and Steve2 to cease the 3-player game of Twilight Imperium they were starting so that I could join in. We started learning this game the previous Friday and I still don't think we have the rules all down yet. Although we are getting faster at setting the game up. We played for way too long and stayed up way too late. Jeremy and I had to get up early because we had a big day ahead of us!
Earl and Bucko came by at about 8:15 am(I'm usually not up before 10) to take us on a hike! We hiked to Mirror Lake and I tells you it was beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Endor. It was a lovely cloudy day with the sun peaking through once in a while, and one of the best things I noticed about being this far away from the city was how quiet it was. Don't get me wrong, I love the sights and sounds of the city, but it was nice to not being constantly bombarded with stimuli.
The trail itself was quite a workout. I certainly did not have the proper footwear. This is not because I thought my shoes would be adequate, but because I just plum forgot when packing my stuff for the weekend. Needless to say, my feet were a bit tender afterwards. Jeremy and I also left our lunches in the car like a couple of douche bags.
Here's some photos that Earl took and was kind enough to share:
After the hike it was back home for a shower and nap before playing more TI3 sans Steve2. One pizza, several beers and a few hours later, one man emerged victorious. That's right folks. Winner of the first completed game of Twilight Imperium...me. Even though we still may not have the rules figured out.

I had to follow the Endor link. I only saw a couple of those movies and I was mostly unimpressed. But, man, wouldn't that have been cool to see some Ewoks! They'd put chipmunks and picas to shame.
Hey, where did all the pictures go?
