Now that my broken rib is no longer excruciatingly painful, I’m having a boytoy over… 😉
Plus, it’s a long weekend in Canada. Victoria Day in most of the country and Fête du Dollard in Quebec (since this province wants nothing to do with any Queen, past, present, or future).
Ah… to be back in commission again. 🙂

I’m going to be sleeping. Stayed up all last night to finish up an essay. But now that finals are over, I’m going to sleep. A lot.

Went to Kendo practice. Won’t be doing that again… Now making myself dinner. At, umm… 11:07. Hmm. I need to get into a habit of eating earlier.

I’m preparing for a long day of research stuff tomorrow, doing some grading, and cleaning/reorganizing my house.
Hoo, boy. Isn’t my life exciting?

Taking World’s Best Boyfriend out for Mediterranean food, and then to browse through a bookstore or two… and it would be followed up with a movie and ice cream, but he has to go to work by 8:30.
Damn overtime.
So then, I’m gonna go kill Diablo.

Working, dammit. I’ve got to finish physiquing this model by tonight. Assuming I get done in time, I’ve got a gaming session to go to.
The annoying thing is that normally the company buys food for those of us who are working late. I usually get everything done so that I don’t have to stay late. Tonight, though, I got this dropped on me- and I’m the only one staying, so they won’t buy dinner for me.
Dammit.

Going to see Episode 2 with my family. Selling old books on ebay while I wait. Waiting for the movie theater to call me back and tell me when I can start working.

I’ll be uh… well probably right where I am now, with the occasional visit to the kitchen for food, and to the balcony so I can pout at all the people having fun without inviting me. Yep, just your average Friday.

Nothing to See
No One To Do.
I’ll be hunkering down @ my wonderful oversized desk, with Mt Dew, ciggies, and a jewelry making toolbox to work on some new Rosaries, surf the net, maybe make a few crank phonecalls, then go to chat where all the horny pixel pervs will ask me if i’d like to have phonesex, whereupon I will give them each the # to Metro’s Homicide Unit :eek: Then laugh myself into a stupor when they come back cussing @ me for murdering their erections. _Oh Darn!_
Somehow they never learn.:rolleyes:
I guess then I’ll bounce downstairs, flop on the couch and overdose on chocolate milk, MSNBC & some programs on Disc. Channel. Then again, it’s raining, so I may go out and play in that as well. 😃

Gonna go take a girl out to see episode two and then head off to a party. Ah, how good life is at the moment…
Have absolutely no rest and head off to a festival tomorrow. Joy:)

I’m drinking Mike’s Hard Lemonade and surfing the net, while hubby is watching Enterprise off of TIVO.
Tomorrow we’re going to a wedding. Grandparents watching children and we have a hotel room. 🙂

Eating popcorn, watching Friday night bonus Treks and Iron Chef, occasionally surfing the 'net.

Sniffing around the Dope to see if I can get used to it again.
Drinking ludicrous amounts of Diet Coke.
Teaching my daughter to be a jumbo jet, and being looked at like I’m some kind of a doofus.
Singing “Shaddappa Your Face” repeatedly to celebrate my wife’s final grudging acceptance of science fiction as _almost_ a legitimate genre.
Having shoe thrown at my head.

Pretty much what I’m doing now. I got a pizza earlier, had a diet coke. Gonna head to bed in a few, since I’m doing laundry fairly early in the morning, then heading to the Goodwill book sale, followed by a hair appointment. I’m going to let them do what they will to my hair tomorrow. Well, with some instructions, but I can’t keep wearing the same hairstyle I’ve had since high school forever.
Oh, and I’ll be carrying on these rambling conversations in my head for a while.

Well, already today, I took a light nap on the sun-dappled couch on our front porch. Then I had a chat with an _almosth_ ummfriend because he dumped his girlfriend. Then I did some quick cleaning of my bedroom.
In a few moments, I shall depart for a “graduation party” (really a bunch of college kids throwing a kegger because finals are over). I shall see if the make-up wearing guy I started “seeing” gives me a call. If yes, I shall do something with him. If no, I shall continue to get drunk with my friends. Maybe I’ll do some drunken posting, but don’t count on it.

Broke up with my Fiance earlier this week so when I got home from work about 930 I’m not much into socializing so I made a pile of french toast, smoked a J (hope I don’t get in any trouble but it’s the truth), and am now getting all limbered up for a midnight run which always makes me feel better.

Man, that sucks. Sorry you’re going through that. I hope you’re holding up OK…
Me, I just got back from Episode 2, and now I’m catching part of _Scarface_ on TV. Not a Friday night to write home about, but I’m happy!
