Saturday Night / Sunday Morning Thread

Tonight? Chance would be a fine thing.

It's 7.52 am here, but the clocks did go back an hour last night!

new repurposed saturday night/sunday morning thread

why are you at home on a saturday night? or
what are you doing up so early on a sunday morning?

i just cooked some dinner, now i'm kicking back with g&t #2 waiting to put the kids to bed.

THIS IS THE NAME OF THE FORTHCOMING COUNTING CROWS ALBUM.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't on the computer

I am kind of drunk. Friends are over but I'm off smoking in the kitchen and trying to decide whether or not i like my new haircut.

what did you do earlier, interesting ilx person?

sleepless nites, bored braxton hicks and slight panic attacks.

Packing things in boxes, washing all the clothes, trying to figure out which 1/2 of our stuff to get rid of, swearing not to move again for at least 2 years. (That would be a record for us, actually. The longest we've lived in one house/apartment is 18 months, since we met 7 years ago.)

I'm trying to use up food so I don't have to move it. Tonight for dinner: frozen pizza with extra slices of salami, chopped sundried tomatoes and piles of misc. grated cheese. and 1/2 a jar of maraschino cherries. yum.

nb. maraschino cherries were not ON the pizza, just eaten straight from jar. with plastic fork.

Who is interesting ILX person? Earlier I got my ass beat at scatagories and drank wine. Fascinating stuff! ;-)

I am reading a stupid pretentious book for class bc I'm supposed to get this done so I can go out tomorrow but at this rate I'll be on the same paragraph twelve hours from now.

Homework sucks. I'll be reading and doing mine all day tommorow which is why i got to hang tonight. Still - homework = no fun!

the people down the way are playing new order 'temptation' on repeat. now i have the 'oooooohs' stuck in my head.

That is one of my most favorite songs ever. I wish I had such neighbors. Mine play crap.

it makes me just wanna dance around and drink something instead of reading, which i have clearly abandoned anyway...

At the moment I am too poor to "go out" and don't feel much like socializing face-to-face, anyhow. And in my old age I'm finally realizing how much more satisfying staying at home and reading and just relaxing can be, as opposed to running around desperately drinking, parties, clubs, etc. For me, at least, there is a subtle (or not so subtle, perhaps) depression underlying a lot of those activities, even when I'm pursuing them in the company of good friends, significant others, etc. Lately I would rather just sit at home and face those feelings head-on, and see what they're about, rather than trying to numb them or distract myself. When I was younger, I craved things that had the lure of excitement, glamour, pleasure...but now I am more interested in peace, and in making peace with myself, and with my fundamental aloneness.

But, I'm old. Young hearts be free tonight, etc.

i took a 4 hr cpr class, worked, then went to a fancypants (ha) art show called motelmotelmotel. what they say, edited:

The Bridge Motel (3650 Bridge Way N, off Aurora, in Fremont) will host a one-night only event to kick off the MOTEL series on 15 September 2007, 5 PM - midnight. Built in 1952 by a retired policeman, the motel has anchored the north end of the infamous Aurora Bridge for decades in welcoming glory. Originally a place frequented by tourists and traveling salesmen, the Bridge Motel has over time become more a place for those living from paycheck to paycheck, and whose lives involve drug use, prostitution, and the like...There has been murders here, and numerous drug busts....Numerous installation/performance artists have been given full rein the week prior, to transform each dilapidated pocket into whatever they could imagine. The opening evening will reveal the Bridge's final blossom before its inevitable razing.

after all that and two nights out prior i'm soso happy to just be having a rum and soda at home and not doing shit.

i don't mind being in though i rarely see anyone anymore. i wouldn't mind a bourbon, though, and i'm fresh out of everything (in addition to never seeing people i also never remember to stock up on liquor, which may not be so bad but i'm regretting it tonight).

the Bridge Motel has over time become more a place for those living from paycheck to paycheck, and whose lives involve drug use, prostitution, and the like

wtf? As if the only people living from paycheck to paycheck are folks on the margins of society residing in dodgy motels.

and i cut out the stuff that was even worse than that

(event itself was a++ tho)

dell otm!

it does sound neat if it didn't come off so patronizing

yeah, glad you had a good time!

gooddrunknight and goodluck whole bigsize thread here Bridge Motel

I have finished a very irritating nutrition assignment and now I'm finally going to go to bed. Another Saturday night at home, writing words like "atherogenericity." I thought I'd be less boring when I was grown up. RONG

I'm editing the high school newspaper. NOT FUN.

I had a very full day out and about (and a very good day at that!) but I'm not quite ready to call it a night yet.

thanks for posting the pictures, jergins. v v great.
