Oh yeah, well I’m having cold pizza for dinner with the kids while my wife studies at the library. Then tomorrow, well, that involves coaching 9 year old girls in the art of soccer (and remember, I don’t really like many kids that aren’t mine, and I suck at soccer). After that, who know? The world’s my oyster. It could involve watching TV, or drinking, or even both! If things get crazy, maybe video games. As for sex, well I’m married, so it’ll depend on whether my hand is too tired from the video games… Top that (then please shoot me) ---

I have a pretty good one planned. We rented out a BYOB Bowling Alley for about 30 people and we are having a surprise party for one of our friends tonight. So I will be bowling and getting really rocked until about 5am. My buddy and sometime bandmate/songwriting partner is coming for the party and is going to stay with me, so on Sat. we are going to jam in my little basement studio all afternoon and maybe record a song or two. Then Sat. Night a little party at my place, where I will get rocked again and hopefully convince the wife for some lovin’. Then Sunday wake and bake and drink beer and watch football all afternoon. Man will I be hung over Monday! Good Times. ---

My weekend will consist of studying for two exams, actually taking a take-home exam for a third, and generally catching up on my reading for my other class, the one without the exam this week. Sunday will consist of keeping Aaron out of Airman’s hair while Airman watches the Stillers game. Next weekend, I start my radio show, so my weekends will be better than yours by default! 😛 Robin ---

I’d rank the respective weekends like this: 1. **White Ink** 2. **Happy Scrappy** (great username, btw) 3. **paulberserker** 4. the rest of us. Mine’s gonna be pretty good - tomorrow I’m gonna hang out at the Maryland Ren Faire all day with Dopers - but it’s _way_ out of the running. ---

**Sunday (which is my Saturday)** Afternoon: Going to a local theater’s production of Macbeth, which is supposed to be terrific. Evening: Visiting a local tavern of ill repute to watch the Sunday night NFL game and hang with buddies. **Monday (my Sunday)** Afternoon: Photohunting with a gal-buddy of mine. Evening: Probably movies/dinner/somethingorother with same galpal, as our photohunts are lately becoming all-day endeavors. This is good news. This’ll be a nice weekend; I’ve got a bigger one planned in two weeks, though. ---

World class hangover. Fuck it, I’m still drunk. No fear though. I’m going to wait until after 12 to see if my buddy wants to go hiking with me. I don’t know what the hell happened last night.

Bastard! Aforementioned buddy has decided that he’s going to have a “party” at his house that includes watching the Clemson game outside and grilling out and drinking. I’ve made him swear that we’ll hike Table Rock in the morning to justify it. I think my liver hates me. ☹ ---
