Your Boring Saturday Night

watching parenthood episodes, eating sriracha chips & drinking herbal tea

I was super duper charming shmoozy union wife tonight. Exhausting! It was nice to dress up but stupid bottles of beer were ~$10~ each :(

i finished up an interview transcription of two soft-spoken women on a noisy australian soccer field. lots of static, to boot. i have a headache. blerg.

Had a fairly eventful Saturday night as far as these things go for me.

Mixed up a so-so Pimm's Cup and then cleaned up my music workstation. Once it was clean, I kicked back and listened to some Spotify and watched some SCGLive.

Next up the whole family listened to some of The Amber Spyglass audiobook and had pre-dinner apps of delice cheese and salami.

For dinner we had amazing rainbow trout in a butter sauce, potatoes, and cherry tomatoes.

Once my son was in bed, we watched Dredd and then episodes of Peep Show on Netflix.

Finally, my wife hunted down some drink recipes that would use up some of our excess bar supplies. I made her an Atlanta Belle and made myself a Dixie (apparently drinks that include bourbon and creme de menthe all have southern names). That quickly led to me plunging into dark unconsciousness.

mmm dark unconsciousness

who knows.

alright let's do this

saaaafeee and soouuund

feeling like crap

read for a while, napped, read, napped some more.

attempting dinner.

Switching between ILX, Amazon and Pinterest, feeling dark and broody.

I hate that everyone is asleep... officially, your boring Sunday morning.

my saturday night truly was boring, because i had to finish up a long transcription project for this client i'm working for that demands 98 percent accuracy. the proofer said i did a great job! i was worried i was going to get chewed out because i turned it in at midnight, but everything worked out.

even if the sky is fallin down i know that we'll be safe and sound

*horns*

bastardized cinncinnati chili, tv

please to describe the extent of the bastardization

Frost/Nixon, nail polish remover, recovery from pierogies

Cranking through Boardwalk Empire episodes

pierogies are the best!

Recovery from *12* of those best pierogies

and some poppy seed roll and an ice cream.

oic

thai food, selling stuff on ebay, soon to play scrabble and watch clueless

as if

passing out after successful garage sale today... *splat* zzzzzzz

do i have to come up w/ something new to post here every week to start us off

i guess i could just jump in. i have some seltzer and chinese leftovers in the fridge. i'm gonna add some ppl on facebook and post some steve jobs-related stuff 'cause he died two years ago today. maybe i'll listen to a podcast while folding laundry.

I am having a markers-like saturday

I upgraded the OS on my computers

glad to have the past three Saturday nights off! boredom relished as relief...

um,
- just bought a bacon and green pepper pizza which I ate two-thirds of - am listening to the new Food Pyramid, then probably Vatican Shadow, and maaaybe Laurel Halo
- typing some stuff up
- later, plan on reading. I picked up two Claude Simon novels, will probably do my best to put a dent in one of those
- if not, maybe some Katherine Mansfield short stories instead
- or perhaps I'll watch Wreck It Ralph

-really good chicken katsu don for dinner
-enough said, which i liked even though it made me weep for humanity
-quality time with the cat

- early dinner at a weird restaurant
- made pie dough in advance to attempt apple pie tomorrow
- reading Gus Russo's 'The Outfit', drafting my own plans for a moneymaking racket

Thai curry soup for dinner. Cronut and cupcakes for dessert.

Watched some episodes of Next Great Baker and now watching Evil Dead.

we'll see

i am watching Million Dollar Shopper

things are not going well

Math homework all up in here; later cleaning the kitchen and some beers. Maybe networking notes if I get really motivated but.. haha

Charlie Parker, the Kinks, and vodka.

that sounds excellent.

my records came today so i'm ripping them and drinking beer. so-so disco-house edits right now with some hopefully better ones in the queue.

records that is.

einstein on the beach followed by in-n-out burger. i'm exhausted in the best possible way.

Dinner and Scrabble. Was bewitched by the fact that my letters spelled CUNTIES and finally asked my opponent if it was OK if I just put CUNTIES because I couldn't find a bingo otherwise. BF takes one look and says "COUNTRIES you asshole"

Except he said COUNTIES of course
