theMrFishist has a class tomorrow, so I'm looking at some cleaning (bleh) and some art work with beads and my woodburner and going through the socks and beads for Gigglesnort and Martiansky.

Yeah! Single for 8 hours! Yeah!

uh, yeah, fishy, i meant that nasty in only the most affectionate way, just so you know. Think Janet Jackson- nasty! nasty fish!

My weekend- well, painting, and, um, painting. Taping the walls to paint stripes and..painting. Maybe even some stripping......off the paint. Also a party appearance in the new town to meet the people in my neighbourhood, in my neighbourhood, in my neeeighbooouurhooooddd. And working. Can't forget the working.

for the record, fishy made me chortle with her comment

my weekend...
tonight might be kinda chill as I have been hitting it hard with Larsino for the past two nights. You never know though.
Tomorrow, probably some furniture tetris in the afternoon. Do some video, get a new bed perhaps (long time coming). Dinner with friends.
Sunday, wake up and chase the ball. Afterwards it's off to the pub with my mates for a post match shandy. I will then sit on my ass and drink wine for much of the remainder of the day.

1. assist in building model suspension bridge, then assist in breaking said bridge (stress test), then ensure 15 year old writes observations/results in order to turn in late paper for science instructor.

2. assist in nursing 17 year old through viral infection (flu) and try not to get it myself.

3. let dogs and cats out repeatedly, feed and water... yadda yadda yadda...

4. sleep, drink Jamesons and 420 when possible.

5. make love with spouse, repeat when possible (it sucks getting older, but it beats the other option.

6. repeat #5

7. build self a work bench, or at least cut the lumber for it out of what i have on hand.

8. repeat #5 and #4

My lord, i haven't even heard the word shandy in years. Makes me want one. Half cider half lager was it?

Oh, and BHA - been talking to my answering machine lately?

Not lately, but once you've heard that, you never forget, sunshine.

working on selling all this office furniture....

and trying to make some time for myself...

ThePikey · Post by **ThePikey** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 2:52 pm

I gotta work sunday, pfeh! I'll try and get that done early, then cruise up into the city for a superbowl party, and maybe snag some tickets for a couple bands on my way through town. (depends on when the box office is open, if I can ever get them to answer the damn phone!)

Saturday will be... umm.... laundry and misc cleaning, not sure what all else. Possibly prowling after that.

But right now, I'll have a drink! Is there Harp on tap here?

In English pubs when I was 14 I think it was half lemonade half beer.

that I have heard referred to as a snakebite. The english pub that we go to after matches makes a shandy with 2/3 beer of choice and 1/3 seven up or sprite.

ThePikey · Post by **ThePikey** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 3:06 pm

Yeah, well... as of next week, my weekend is officially friday and saturday.
Pigfuckers.

Spent two weeks last summer in Northern England visiting my inlaws - Had many a shandy in da pubs. Half lemonade and half Ale. Started drinking about 5:00 and last call was at 11:00 - we closed a pub almost every night we were there. What an experience.

Forgot about that. I love Superbowl Sunday, our hidden holiday. If you go out there's no one on the road, no one in the supermarket and everyone who is out is in a great mood because it's like this secret holiday. Lots of smiles.

Plus that's the traditional day of the newt walk at Briones

psssst BHA are we alone in here? Dang it's quiet for a friday afternoon. Flu epidemic?

[glumly]is it time to leave a community when ya get told what to say as well as what not to?[/glumly]

Poof.

ag may be in better standing with the llc than any of us, but you're in better standing with the denizens of this thread, and maybe the whole forum.

No to dis Andie. But you're here more, so on the microlevel of this board you're doing more heavy lifting of this community. We may be here on the tolerence of teh llc, but we are of ourselves, not a mere adjunct. And if there were wierd undertones of vigilantyism in Seattle over the past few months, you're allowed to speak your truth of that experience. Unless of course, John Ashcroft comes out of retirement to stop you personally.

Drinks on me tonight.

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 4:23 pm

i really like ag, and think she's coming from a good place....

it got a little ugly on the bcwa, for a while. but at least there was conversation about the fact that it was ugly, and about the things that were happening.

i'm just irked. make me a big one, fishie? for the road? i'll be e-drunk driving....

Work epidemic for me. Some network gear vendor decided to relase a version of their code that only works to even numbered remote addresses so I have been holding their hand while they debug it.

Shheesh

I'm gone in 16 minutes, which means that last call is now.

But I put in the new vending machine--put in your order and a hose comes out and squirts it into your mouth.

Just be carefull, we can't get it to go on dribble or slow, only MegaSquirt!!!!!
