Your Boring Saturday Night

Greetings, Saturday night!

can't open the whiskey until i've picked up my brother from work, but log fire on and football recorded for when we get the green light in about 30 mins.

Just watched "Surrogates" on my newfangled Netflix Instant.

There have got to be better ways to use this free trial.

Evening plans include chili, BSG, and a book recommended by a hoos.

Wish I had a fireplace. I'll light some candles, maybe?

you'd need to sit very close to them, though

Wish I had a fireplace.

otm. this is my dream right now.

Do you have a cat? Because fireplace and whiskey without a cat is NAGL.

afraid that i can't stand them. i'll survive. got an acoustic guitar and a notebook, a cat would only demand my *creative attention* -_-

As soon as I leave work (in about 15 minutes or whenever) I'll be dropping off this week's charts and calling my husband to see if the cold/flu/whatever it is that I gave him has gotten bad enough to take him to the emergency room. If all's well, I'll be picking up some frozen food for tonight and going home to read ebooks, play games, drink, and tell my mother-in-law the times and dates of this month's doctor appointments over and over again before going to bed at 10 so I can get up at 5. Fun, fun, fun!

I don't think I've had a non-boring Saturday night for over a month. Good Thursdays/Fridays keep killing me off.

Boring saturday nights are even better than boring friday nights, imo

Probably will top the evening off with a netflix instant and a good beer. Lady is going out for ladies night, I am in pre-finals mode.

I was up at 3am this morning, dealing with our fussy, confused 19-year-old cat, and stayed awake since my wife had been up until 2am dealing with work-related online stuff. (She works in internet marketing/social media for a major retailer so this has been a rough couple of days.) Went out for lunch and did a bunch of shopping, then took the most awesome two-hour nap when we got home at 3:30pm. Planning on doing a whole lot of nothing tonight -- maybe some TV, maybe video games, maybe just getting started on a new book.

Today's my 41st birthday btw.

you don't look it

/only thing i remember about phil d, tbh

Happy Birthday! xpost

Happy Birthday!

oh yeah happy birthday too man!

log fire sounds good, not as good as peat fire tho

might improvise by dousing some paper with laphroaig and igniting

Called my husband on the way home; he's alright and getting better.

local stockists had run out of turf. it's COLD over here xp

it didn't get above 1C in london today, with moderate northeasterly wind

crazy cold for november

been below 0 most of the day here. snow just makes the fire even better

might improvise by dousing some paper with laphroaig and igniting

Made me think of the Laphroaig entry here: http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-complete-lunatics-guide-to-5-best-sipping-whiskeys/

Hailing from the Scottish island of Islay, Laphroaig had its beginnings in small, illegal stills, like Scottish moonshine, but eventually grew to be a respected and esteemed establishment, like a Scottish Red Lobster.

Nose

A strong smokiness dominates Laphroaig, mercilessly grinding out any other softer, weaker notes.

Palate

Earthy and unpretentious but utterly dominant. Like it knows. Like it knows you've been bad.

The Argument You're Going To Get In

You're not going to get in any arguments, largely because of the ball-gag she put in your mouth about two hours ago. You met her downstairs, in the lobby bar of the Ramada Inn that your shitty office supply company put you up in for this two-day conference. You would've argued against the trip when you were younger, but these days you leap at any chance to get away from your ugly wife and hateful children. You got to talking to some pretty blonde over drinks, where you were utterly charmed by her sultry, forceful ways; she was presumably wooed by how much you know about printers.

Who You'll End Up Fighting

Oh, nobody! Nobody at all. You're handcuffed to this radiator so tight, you can barely move.
You'll just have to do whatever you're told. Whatever anybody tells you to do.

Who You're Going Home With

Shit, you might never go home again if this girl keeps working it like - is she going for your stuff? She is! Oh yeah, the belt. The belt, baby. Or...the wallet? You guess that's uh, that's pretty good too. It's leather, at any rate. If she rears up enough, maybe gets a running start, you could leave a pretty good mark with a wallet.

Finish

A peaty, mellow burn, which will go nicely with the burning shame you'll fell as you give your statement to the police the next morning, naked save for an emergency blanket and the perfectly knotted tie you had her Double Windsor around your junk before she made off with your clothes and petty cash.

it didn't get above 1C in london today, with moderate northeasterly wind

That would be considered a mild nip in the air in the Midwestern US.

weather perceptions relative to location, who knew

the cold's different over there, it's politer.

oi be nice u

Well, I live in Florida but I still refuse to wear a coat in 60 degree weather.

surfing teh interweb while listening to richie hawtin. may watch telly in a bit. anything decent on film 4?

My mildly boring sat night is about to end with me falling to sleep while watching training day. never seen i and it won the Denzel poll.

it's not very good iirc

it's awfully entertaining tho

entertainingly awful

really?

will watch "the event" then if ok?

Watching the 2nd Harry Potter movie on blu-ray, just got home from a grocery/fruit & veggie run. Will make a big pot of minestrone in a while, and then potter about (lol, pun) getting ready for Raiders tailgate tomorrow :)

Bloody cold in Sacramento atm
Central heat nice & all but I miss Mum & Dad's wood heater. Nice to have something to sit/stand in front of

Oh & happy birthday Phil!!

Heat v. Mavs is not too boring if you like schadenfreude

picked up s.o.'s stepmom from the airport, went out for mexican food, am now back in the warm house instead of the cold rain.

sitting here w/ a ridic amt of snacks tbh

SNL clip show on VH1. Intermittent napping. Damn it's cold.

anyone wanna see the girl with the scrawled on glasses again

Let's Party!!

Walked around Dublin for two hours last night in vain search for a taxi. It was freezing and I slipped about three times, bruises all over head. Serious disgust at Ireland.

lol. Sat night taxi hunt anywhere on the southside is just pointless ime. Just better off walkin. Not great weather for it tho.

Spent two hours waiting on a train that kept getting postponed then cancelled at the last minute, decided to scrap plans to go to my favourite cousin's birthday party and sat in alone with a ready meal.

Nah darragh last night was psychotic! I've never in my life walked around for so long, it was the snow which got the nitelink cancelled, friends walked to fairview after two hours or so. I honestly was starting to worry about how cold I was when I gatecrashed a taxi. Awful conversation on the journey until the other passengers left me to talk gyan with the Ghanaian driver.

omg you speak gyan
