Who's glad the long three-day holiday weekend is here, and what are your plans?
 
I plan on getting a library card, sleeping in, watching some movies on the tele, and perhaps wandering into a record store.

Do I have you beat?

Our three day weekend was last week, and it sucked, I had so many projects, my friends has fun though....

gmku 05.22.2009 05:32 PM

Oh, sorry. I'm a civil servant. We get these holidays routinely.

I don't have a damned thing I have to do for three days and it feels glorious.

Then a few days later I get to get on a plane and fly to the city that is tied with my city for the best beer town in the United States.

i just finished moving house for the summer. i'll spend the weekend with madame !@#$%! and friends, getting intoxicated and getting well-deserved free massages.

floatingslowly 05.22.2009 06:23 PM

mine started at noon!

bought a new grill since I lost the last one to an ice storm two years ago.

spraypainted frost over garage windows!

BBQ'd some bleu cheese stuffed hamburgers. yay meat!

tomorrow is either holocaust memorial at the omniplex, or going with wife to some small town for a country-fried beer drinking session. I'm hoping for nazi doctors vs. the trip to Bloody Axe.

sunday? walmart again! yay!! categorizing demographics! (today, it was overweight and wheelchair bounds, black mothers with children and tattooed but agings). heaps o' chores on sunday too!

monday? the sky's the limit, hotstepper.

Savage Clone 05.22.2009 06:29 PM

I'm working on Saturday and Sunday.
You can all go back to fucking yourselves now.

phoenix 05.22.2009 07:24 PM

every day is a three day weekend, lately.

reginald 05.22.2009 07:55 PM

Pop into a record store ala gmku and drink some beer as well. Best I can get around here is Dogfish Head IPA.

i wanted to do the west coast, but the last 2 weeks of july my boss is gonna be in europe, so i can't leave, no capital hill block party in seattle, no jesus lizard, sigh, but it's the obligation i suppose

Glice 05.22.2009 08:22 PM

I'm looking forward to chilling the fuck out. I've had Thursday and Friday off to finish off some serious shit, and Saturday (today) I'm meeting a friend for lunch and otherwise doing fuck all till Monday. What I'd like to do is do some intense finishing off of things so I can usher in money/ summer on time.

Toilet & Bowels 05.22.2009 08:26 PM

4 weeks in to a five week month i've got no money so will be staying in all weekend and pottering about

Lucky, I've always wanted to go to the west coast. It sounds do nice and beautiful. I really wanna go skiing on the Rockies. Swim in the Pacific, etc. It's my dream to go there one day.

ploesj 05.23.2009 02:33 AM

That ain't doing too bad! Dogfish Head makes great beer.

sarramkrop 05.23.2009 08:50 AM

I went out last night. It was good, but it was the first time in a couple of weeks that I've had a drink, and a combination of heat and alcohol made me miss the period of semi-exile I've been in.

I should be getting ready soon, and fly to North London to a friend's house, where I'm helping him with some DIY work. I have no plans for tomorrow, plus I'm struggling financially, at the moment.

o'connor 05.23.2009 08:50 AM

gonna throw my mother her 50th b-day party tonite at the bar, then i'm gonna have sex w/ my lady friend for a good portion of the evening.

Kuwa_Slayne 05.23.2009 09:22 AM

Going to some roller derby tonight. A BBQ will probably pop up.

EVOLghost 05.23.2009 11:07 AM

My weekend was cut short....ghey.

radarmaker 05.23.2009 11:24 AM

Out last night, out tonight, out tomorrow. It's a tough life.

Doing other little odd things around the house. We are considering a quick trip to Houston tomorrow as a back up it starts raining. Astros game, Mexican food and a stop at Ikea will be in order. Maybe a free concert at discovery green park. OH - and driving by Mattress Mack's place to see the damage.

Thought about going up to my dad's place on the lake, but there will be a ton of people on the lake this weekend. Think we will best be served by holding off and going in a week or two.


OMG, you're a suburbanite!

NaiveMelody 05.23.2009 12:22 PM

Let's see...Thursday I went and watched the bf's band practice, hung out with friends and drank ang stopped by our local dive bar. Last night we went over to our friend's house and had a bbq and mass drinking. There was power wheel crashes, bamboo fights, beer explosions and guys trying to out rack each other in the nuts. (Why do guys do this?)
Tonight there is a bit of a localfest show tonight. 5 of our friend's bands are playing at one bar. Should be lots of fun.
Tomorrow is relaxing and family time.

Danny Himself 05.23.2009 12:53 PM

 


on sunday night!

EVOLghost 05.23.2009 01:49 PM

lol

ploesj 05.23.2009 03:15 PM

i spent my days doing stuff like this:

 


so far, i finished a poster and brought it to the printer's, finished two research projects and four illustrations for a book i'm making all over again because i didn't like how it turned out and my teachers didn't like it either.

four done, seven to go in the next three days, then make a new book.

gmku 05.23.2009 05:02 PM

There was something rather cocky feeling about walking through the tourist throngs to get to the public library downtown today. Like I belong here, you all are just fucking tourists. See, I can check out library books here.

I guess you had to be there.

automatic bzooty 05.23.2009 10:05 PM

last night: bowling, coffee, staying out late, being a faghag.
today: chillin', sleepin', homeworkin'.
tonight: skipping some clubbing due to exhaustedness/current lack of fabulosity.
first thing tomorrow morning: an open house.

static-harmony 05.23.2009 10:25 PM

My three day weekend begins after I get off work tomorrow. Then I have monday tuesday and wednesday off.
