Not a lot happened this weekend...vox_angel spent the night with her friend on Saturday so they could go see Dave Matthews (it was a disappointing show appearently), so I hit the gym, played some WoW and took long naps.

Sunday I again hit the gym, met up with various and sundry people to see Narnia (I liked it a lot), then went home to play WoW and nap. Last night I watched the first episode of BSG season 2 (thank the gods for bittorrent).

End result - well rested with a lvl37 druid ;)

This morning I've just been told that it's mandatory for me to go to the optional company christmas party. I wasn't going to go, 'cause this whole diet thing is going to make it no fun to watch people eat all afternoon...but now I guess I'm going to be there anyway.
