Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What are people doing this weekend?

Meeting and possibly kidnapping this: [link]

Cleaning up even more of the dead tree that lives in our backyard.

Scrambling to make up the work I'm still behind on after damn near 2 weeks away and 1 of no real internets? FML

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Driving my fancy new car to Madison!

Oh, and hanging out with Sail! We're gonna see Captain America! And use exclamation points!

hwæt

The Feelies are giving a free concert in Prospect Park tomorrow. But I just saw them in May, and it's still going to be a zillion degrees, so I might bail.

The status is NOT quo.

Flying! Then attempting to speak Spanish!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'll be watching Torchwood with some people tonight, meeting a couple of friends for brunch on Saturday, and cleaning my apartment for a friend who'll be visiting Tuesday night. The heat's not expected to break for the next week, so I'll probably spend the rest of the weekend in my ACed apartment, reading a clearing off my dvr. Unfortunately it's even pretty warm in the mornings now, so my running's taking a hit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What are people doing this weekend?

Cleaning the house, getting over the remnant of this sinus infection, having a very small very belated birthday party tomorrow night t edit (which entails baking a cake -- in this heat, what was I thinking? ice-cream cakes are gluten free! poor planning). Possibly Captain America on Sunday, but probably not.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Donde esta el baño? Quiero un jamon y queso! That's pretty much what got me through Venezuela! Although exactly what I got for the ham and cheese varied pretty significantly, I always knew basically what I'd be eating.

This is a working weekend. We finished up one camp yesterday, are starting one today, and will be ducking back to Indianapolis to go to church with the SO's folks at the church where they were wed, fifty years ago. And next weekend is their anniversary bash. And then back to start the next week of camp Sunday. Oy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Plans this weekend...

Drop CJ off for a weekend of survival training.
Try to convince K-Bug to go out to see Corb Lund (sans the Hurtin Albertans) tonight.
Then sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I still can't do karate, so maybe I'll hit the treadmill to try to get back up to speed. I'm testing in September and I feel like I've fallen way behind.

information libertarian

This weekend mr. flea and the kids are planning to make terrariums from old applesauce jars. For some reason mr. flea thinks I know something about terrariums and expects me to advise him.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So far I think Pix is winning the weekend competition.

I'm certainly not giving her a run for the money although I plan on having a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Stretch class and hanging out with friends on Saturday--usually that turns into day-long playdate--and hope to see some other friends on Sunday. Oh, and spending the afternoon at SM beach.

The budget convo is a good reminder for me that we really need to create a budget and stick to it. I am not a big spender, but I'm bad at sticking to a budget too. I like my things, that's the problem.
