It’s Friday!! Tonight I’m going up to help celebrate my nephew’s graduation from high school. Along with seeing my brother/SIL and their 7 kids, my mom is driving up with my other SIL and her daughter. Being around family can be kind of stressful - but this time I’m just going to focus on the fact that my mom is making gluten-free brownies. (gotta focus on the happy stuff, right?) So what about you? What fun thing are you looking forward to tonight? ---

Waiting in the stand-by line to see the LA Film Festival debut of Miranda July’s new movie “The Future” It will open in wider release in a month but I’ll be out of town when it opens and am afraid I might miss it altogether if I don’t try to see it now. ---

After work I’ll be hiking at [St. Joseph’s Hill Open Space Preserve](http://www.bahiker.com/southbayhikes/stjosephs.htm). Then, after a dip in the pool, I’ll enjoy some kind of salad wrap for din-din. ---

Take the dog to the park, come home and have spaghetti and wine for dinner, and watch a few episodes of Breaking Bad season three. Maybe shoot a couple games of pool with the husband. Woo hoo! ---

I haven’t had a full day off since early May, and looks like I’ll be working Sat/sun this week, so nothing very ambitious. Light dinner and watch a few videos from the Michael Gondry collection that just arrived from Amazon. ---

We are very likely going to check out the Livonia Spree, at which [one of the rides threw off off a chunk of metal and injured a woman on Tuesday](http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/wayne_county/woman-hit-be-part-of-ride-at-livonia-spree). Should be fun. ---

My wife and me are taking the kids to see Cars 2. Looks like it’s gonna be Pixar’s first _real_\* stinker as far as story, but I’m sure it’ll look great, and stimulate the part of my brain that loves pixels. \*Although, Cars is arguably their first stinker. But it has its moments. ---

We’re having chili dogs and fries for dinner, gourmets that we are. 😃 I may mow at least the front yard because it’s beginning to look like the neighborhood white trash lives at my house. Since the front yard is the one that’s a shame for the neighbors to see I should. Or not. I do foresee a dip in the pool and some beerverages in my near future. ---

Can I share a funny? My mom decided to make a gluten-free potato salad for me and called my boyfriend all in a panic because she didn’t know if a potato had wheat in it or not. Mom, it’s a potato. A potato has potato in it. When i tried to explain this to her, she said, “don’t you get smart with me, missy!” I heart my mom, but larf. ---

Should be fun. I’m surprised she wasn’t more seriously injured. The article in the Livonia Observer said the part weighed at least 100 pounds. I don’t have any plans for tonight. Maybe bake some brownies and watch the gypsy wedding show? ---

There’s an opening tonight at [SMOCA](http://www.smoca.org/) - we’re going to go to it, and then stop on the way home and get some frozen yoghurt - the perfect way to end the week. ---

A friend and I are going to see a performance of Little Shop of Horrors. It’ll be a nice change of pace and I won’t have to cook dinner. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feel-good-friday-topic-what-fun-thing-are-you-doing-tonight-your-responses-requested/586727.md?page=2)
