Your Boring Saturday Night

switching between lost on hulu and ilx; went out for vegan soul food (pretty bad) and to middle harbour to see the bay bridge construction (pretty awesome); husband watching football on both the tv AND his laptop next to me; feeling a bit fragile since i seem to have some kind of flu-like virus.

watching football on both the tv AND his laptop next to me;

haha this was me earlier

my parents are visiting, so i hung out with them and handled night-time duty with the kids while my wife went out with her best friend. (we sort of alternate saturday nights out.) now everybody's asleep but me, so i'm listening to nina nastasia and dicking around on the internet and thinking about watching a movie.

CAD - yes it was awesome! You're not going to see the YYYs at the Orpheum at the end of the month by any chance, are you?

shit i didn't know about that! i will think about it--94 bucks for two tickers though! otoh i've never seen them and really want to.

*tickets obv

I know it's an outrage! I've seen them twice (once for free outdoors with TV on the Radio at gov't ctr!) and have to say that they're AMAZING live. I was reluctant to spend that much but honestly, for me at least, I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it.

damn--payday is thursday, i'll figure it out by then and def let you know!

:D

xpost ZS, is the EPA a significant factor in your current depressive vacuuming mood?

Catching up on work reading, thinking about return to the US on Monday of co-worker who lost her partner in an accident in July (we're Britishes but work in DC), feeling inadequate about working out the right things to do especially when it comes to her return to work. Planning to get out and hike with a bunch of strangers tomorrow morning.

Shit. Only decent hiking pants have hole in them. Is it really stupid to go anyway and boil in jeans? (Maryland). Site says hike is 'moderate' with 'tree cover' but 'initial elevation'.

i would die in jeans, but i get hot fast.

where's the hole?

where is the hole?

lol xpost

seriously, where is the hole?

jorts imo

lol sorry.

ljubljana, I don't know what the hell is wrong with me lately. My girlfriend is gone all week because of a death in the family, so that's probably contributing to things.

what are hiking pants?

The hole is, well, in the arse region. Bluntly.

They're not even really hiking pants. I have no idea what I'm supposed to go hiking in or why I'm suddenly interested in going hiking, other than I'm going stir crazy.

Is there such a thing as hiking sandals?

i think so?

Well I don't have those either.

i have known people to do light hiking in keens or tevas.

crazy saturday, old flatmates moved out, new ones signed lease, huge night out including at least one ilxor, back home now with nobody living here except me until tomorrow. all kind of insane, so much change, which is actually good.

xpost I have some suede-like trainers that I can't even find or some hilarious red Vans with flowers on them. I think I am going for those and the jorts (thanks velko) as they will set each other off perfectly and the group will need someone to laugh merrily about as it sets off.

5-hour "disco nap" until midnight situation, which meant flaking on plans w/people, which currently means being hungry and awake

watching SNL for the first time in a long time. why are they still doing the target lady sketch???

I might drink wine.

5-hour "disco nap" until midnight situation, which meant flaking on plans w/people, which currently means being hungry and awake

this.

i don't know what the target lady sketch is.

i worked, ran, cooked tofu, ate tofu, and watched "oz". pretty boring.

also had minor catch ups w/ some e coast friends who are up really late. that is nice <3 miss them.

Had to cancel plans to go out, got some beer and veggie samosas and watched some movies (Being There, Tenebre, and Coffy)

I just figured out I'm watching a rerun

i am debating getting netflix. should i?

bf played a last-minute gig tonight, so i had a bit of stag time... did some record/dvd shopping, ate bad pizza, listened to the feelies, mucked around on the internet.

teh: netflix is very worth it if you actually have/make the time to watch the movies in rapid succession. sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. my current stash has been sitting in the mailers for a couple weeks, but i'm usually pretty good at turnaround.

how is the online streaming stuff?i don't have a tv right now so it's all computer screen watching for me so the dvd vs. computer stream thing isn't a big deal. i just mean like, selection-wise. cause i'd only want to pay for the 1 at a time dvd part.

did you find good things in your shopping?

there's a ton of online streaming stuff but it's very random. some big movies. lots of obscure stuff. lots of bad movies.

I do the same thing w/ the 1 dvd a time and it's def worth $8 a month, even if I go a week without watching a movie.

did you find good things in your shopping?

yep!

iatee otm, the streaming stuff is random. and certain selections get taken down after a while (like 30 rock, which is only streaming until october).

So I was all set for a weekend of clubbing and shenanigans in London with all my best mates, really excited, and I go and paralyse myself in the back this morning during the simple act of brushing my teeth. Now I can't even change channels on the TV without wincing in pain while everyone else is getting their MANDY on on the dancefloor. :-(

LET'S DO THIS

I fell asleep on the sofa, woke up after an hour and am now going to bed. Woah.

Watching "Tommy Boy" on tv. Ignoring giant pile of laundry that needs to be folded. Holla!

dinnerwise i dunno but entertainmentwise i've got my haul from the criterion 50%-off sale!

what'd you get?

-the royal tenenbaums (the edition without the bells and whistles, for about $10)
-black narcissus (powell & pressburger *wuv*)
-if.... (at $20, the most expensive purchase) (one day i will read mark s's book on same)

Totally exhausted. feeding the little one watching dazed and confused and trying to figure out what i want for supper.

Boring saturday night turning into boring can't sleep sunday morning.

leftovers! then some shit I picked up at a store that's part of a gas station!
