Yesterday was amazingly fun. I just wish I could have been more awake for it.

Saturday night I got no sleep at all. Rob got a few hours, but my insomnia kicked in and I was awake until 8am - when the alarm went off. Rob and I got ready and Berek and Pita came by to pick us up at around 9:30am. Our first stop of the day was at the Empress Pavilion in Chinatown for some super yummy dim sum. We hadn't been there in ages and the food was great. Everything went well until our last order. Everytime we got something we made sure it didn't have any shellfish in it (I'm allergic). The cart lady assured Rob that the potstickers had no shellfish or fish in them and so we got them. I only had one bite, but when I saw the shrimp in the other half of my potsticker I got very worried. The last time I had shellfish (granted, it was more than one bite) my throat swelled up and I couldn't breathe. So, everyone kept an eye on me to make sure I didn't need to head to the hospital. The good news was that my allergy pill and the fact that I only had one small bite of it meant that I did not stop breathing. The bad news was that my body recognized that there was something in it that shouldn't be there and after a little while I started having extreme cramping pains. Before we headed out we checked out some of the shops in the same little mall as the restaurant. Rob got a small ceramic bobble-head ninja for when he gets a car. Eventually we all headed out.

On the way back into the Valley we decided to stop off at our apartment. Pita needed to use the bathroom, and my cramping was getting severe. The minute we got home I ran into one bathroom and Pita went to the other one. What happened in there was... weird. So, if you don't want to read something weird and a little gross, just move on to the next paragraph. I hit the bathroom and started pooping. I was in there for about a half of an hour. I was in extreme pain, sweating, and shaking. When it was all said and done, there was no poo. There was only food. It looked as if someone had mashed up the dim sum food and thrown it in the toilet. It looked and smelled like dim sum, not poo. I saw this when I turned around to flush the toilet. Berek's theory is that my body freaked out at the shrimp and purged everything in there as fast as possible (which would also explain the horrible cramping). Once I felt better we headed back out.

We headed to a mall in Woodland Hills near Berek's house. We made a stop at the SPCA there so that Pita could get her kitty a new collar. Rob and I picked up some food and a toy for our kitties. We played with the kittens (soooooo cute) and headed into the main part of the mall for two quick stops. One was at a video game store and the other was at a kid's store that sells Neopets related merchandise. Low and behold they had teeny stuffed Meepits in. Needless to say, I got some Meepits (I created a Guild on Neopets dedicated to the worship of those little unholy hairless gerbils - the United Meepit Cultists of Neopia). We then headed out of the mall and went to a nearby Halloween store. Rob picked up a half mask of a werewolf. Since I'm going as Little Red Riding Hood this year, he's going to work on putting a werewolf costume together.

From there it was on to the swap meet that's over by Berek and Pita's place. We were only able to do half of the swap meet, which is fine because it saves something new for the next time we go there. That place is pretty cool. Unfortunately, mid-way through it I started to feel really ill. I got dizzy and could barely think. It was a combo of my being exhausted from being awake for so long and the fact that I hadn't absorbed anything from the dim sum. So, Rob got some food in me and I felt a bit better. I was still tired and out of it, but at least I could think again. I only ended up getting one item at the swap meet. It's unbelievably cool, but has something weird to it. It's a gorgeous hand carved wooded box. On the lid is a demon surrounded by fire. The demon is very intricate and even has little spirals and the like carved into its body. It's an incredible work of art. Rob noticed something odd about it when we got home. On the inside of the lid, there are some places where the wood is a touch lighter because of a white substance on it. When held up to the light, there's the outline of a nativity scene and an angel. How creepy is that? Whatever is on there comes off if you wipe at it, and I fully plan on taking it off, but I think I'll wait a bit until I can show it to my Mom (I mentioned it to her and she thought that someone might have put it there since there was a demon on the box). Also, on the walls of the inside of the box there is writing (but it's not the English alphabet) and that writing is also covered in the same whitish substance, only there is more of that. Too weird. Either way, the box is still really cool looking and I'm glad I got it.

After the swap meet we headed back to Berek and Pita's place and chilled out there for a bit. Pita had a lot of homework to get done so she stayed at their place when the three of us headed out so that Berek could take us back home. On the way home we made a quick pit stop at Tower for Rob to get a copy of Dragon magazine and then headed back home. When we got home Rob and I ordered in some dinner from Jerry's, played with our D&D minis a bit, and then passed out.

This morning I woke up not feeling too good. I had (and still have) a sore throat and my glands are swollen. There's also this ucky layer of mucus coating my throat. I had better not be coming down with something again. I'm almost over the stomach flu that I had and the last thing I want or need is to be coming down with something else.
