I had weekend plans that I was really really looking forward to, but they're now cancelled on account of sickness on both sides. :( I hate that...

What's everyone else up to this weekend?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:16 am (UTC)
My roommate is having a baby shower.

And I may be helping friends paint their house. What possessed me to offer, I dunno. :)

And laundry...the pile is big enough to intimidate the cats now, I need to handle it.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:19 am (UTC)
Well, I had those same weekend plans cancelled. :-( Current plans: deal with house appraiser tonight, buy goldfish for Elayna tomorrow, and watch lots of Tivo stuff.

Two words: MST3K Veg.

TOMORROWWWWWWWW... i am going to a TANGO party with Miguel, who i am hoping will agree to teach me. TANGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! then i'm going to SR. sunday i'm recovering, and cleaning the disaster area that is my room, once and for all.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:44 am (UTC)
I really ought to go to SR one of these days. Seems like all the cool kids are doing it!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:49 am (UTC)
idunno, i haven't been since that weekend i came down to visit.

My ex-student worker (Zach, not Trey) started the Tango club at Emory, and is involved in some sort of local tango organization that hosts dances and does instruction. Want me to ask him for info?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:17 am (UTC)
Actually, never mind -- I remembered the website -- it's http://www.tango-atlanta.com/
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:32 am (UTC)
Is this Mars Music or some other Mars?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:39 am (UTC)
mars music. the administrative job market is being a bitch and i'm tired of it. who ever said they wanted to be a secretary when they grew up, anyway?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:53 am (UTC)
Today, with the help of DayQuil, I'll drag myself through the rest of this day, then go home and collapse into bed to sleep as long as possible. With any luck, I'll sleep off this virus I've got.

Tomorrow I'll probably hash, since I haven't in a while and since it starts at Grant Park not far from my house.

Sunday morning is the September meeting of my investment club, which I'm hosting this month. Then that afternoon Chuck and I start rehearsing for Spooky, which will be a neat trick since I haven't finished the script or built the puppets yet.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:57 am (UTC)
D&D tonight, and then tomorrow evening is my birthday party - the official celebration of my turning 25 on Monday (I was vastly amused by the rest of the office, most of whom though I was 35). I'm looking forward to it - this'll be the first *real* birthday party I've had, I think. For certain definitions of real - I had a 21st, but it didn't work out too well. And then Sunday will be spent recovering, and possibly doing some mapping and writing.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:26 am (UTC)
Hey, happy birthday!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:16 am (UTC)
Happy early birthday! :)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:25 am (UTC)
Hey you, Happy Birthday! Thanks for your thoughts on mine. :) Enjoy your party to the fullest!

And I know about people thinking you're older, at least from another perspective - people usually guess Gabriel as five years older than me, rather than five younger.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 10:38 am (UTC)
Happy birthday! I probably won't be online then, so I'll tell you now.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:58 am (UTC)
Not a bloody thing, if I can help it. Maybe take one last walk around Spy Pond for the summer with Rik, or pick another room of the house and remove all traces of our ex-roommate from it. Come to think of it, I should ask [personal profile] verse if they'd like to do something...
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:28 am (UTC)
I've got a larp tomorrow. Imagine, they asked me to play a Changeling! Who'd have ever thought that? This means I may also have a new icon soon. :-)

Sunday I'm sleeping.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:35 am (UTC)
me and [livejournal.com profile] darkmattr are probably going out with [livejournal.com profile] juanarama and [livejournal.com profile] susyrama. Apparently I didn't get enough alcohol last weekend. I also plan on sleeping. And then, some more sleeping.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:36 am (UTC)
Well, my friends in The Hall Party and I usually have dinner on Friday nights. But no one's suggested plans yet, so it might not happen. Tomorrow I have guitar lessons, and I'm pondering going to see _Signs_ since I haven't seen it yet, but I want to see it with a friend. The last movie I saw was _Reign of Fire_. And Sunday is my weekly World of Darkness session. I have to have the apartment clean by then.

Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:42 am (UTC)
I have my training class for teaching sunday school tommrow most of the day. Other than that, it is a race to keep up with my mother before she drives me insane. I am hoping to get Michelle to babysit for a little bit so that Paul and I can go out (either tonight or tommrow night) and get some dinner or a movie. You guys wanna come along?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:56 am (UTC)
Hm. Maybe! I'll have to see if Ms. Mouse wants to babysit...tomorrow's better for us if it's okay with you...
Friday, September 6th, 2002 07:01 am (UTC)
Yep! No problem. I will be out of my training class actually pretty early. (I don't remember if it gets out at 1 or 4).
Friday, September 6th, 2002 07:54 am (UTC)
Mose said yes! So maybe give us a call when you get out of your class, and we'll set things up?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:53 am (UTC)
Cool! Do you have an IM or email address I could ask your phone number from? :) I unfortunately don't think I have in any useful or findable form any of those three pieces of info from you! I think I lost it. :(

Cool though! Do you guys know what you want to do? Dinner? Movie? Both? Any suggestions for either?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:55 am (UTC)
shadesong@livejournal.com

No clue... I'm on 3 hours sleep and cold medicine, so I'm not in the best state to make plans. :)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:57 am (UTC)
Ah, I forgot that you could do that with the livejournal email. :) I will be sending one soon.

Wow, that sounds like it sucks. I hate being sick too. We had expected that Maddie would not sleep through the night, but she did. So here I am at work well rested. :) And she is even feeling better already too!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:47 am (UTC)
So, tonight it's down-home cooking with [livejournal.com profile] jenkitty; tomorrow, go pay the gubernor for the right (snort) to drive my car on his roads, followed by at some point seeing [livejournal.com profile] riverheart (whether that's Saturday or Sunday is still open to negotiation); Sunday morning is Dim Sum with [livejournal.com profile] wolfieboy and too many others to mention, some LJ-enabled, some not... and Sunday night is more quality time wit da Kitty, who herself has a busy schedule. And I might end up sneaking over to Comics Dungeon and grabbing my monthly fix.

So. Busy, busy.

You get better, y'hear?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 05:31 pm (UTC)
I should probably post about dim-sum here.
Saturday, September 7th, 2002 12:05 am (UTC)
By here, I of course meant here on LiveJournal rather than here in shadesong's journal.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:50 am (UTC)
Rest, relaxation, and crawling under a 1985 lebaron for a few hours.

Next weekend though... that seems packed :)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 06:54 am (UTC)
Going to a Vampire LARP with [livejournal.com profile] jennywrenn and our respective husbands, and Sunday Chris has off, so we will probably cuddle, clean and computer in that order. Hopefully!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 07:30 am (UTC)
Tonight - preparation for LARP tomorrow. Updating character sheets, preparing and assigning NPC sheets and various other administrative tasks that I now do myself since our admin staff quit to be a HST at another LARP.
Tomorrow - we LARP. I'm at the game site (and on my feet) from 4 pm till 12 midnight, then at the post game gathering until like 3 am.
Sunday - Making candles for my order due at the end of next week. 79 wine-scented gel candles in wine glasses. Also having an hors d'oeuvres get together at mom's house in the evening.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 07:40 am (UTC)
This weekend is supposed to be evilly hot, and my right knee and weird mosquito bite place are bothering me pretty badly still, so I am thinking of avoiding fest. Also, Miss Beana has a fever of 102 today, so she probably shouldn't go there either.

I think I may invite the tattered remnants of my gaming group over just to hang out.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:21 am (UTC)
Uh, tonight maybe going to the City for Brazilian food.

Tomorrow: vegging in the morning, or maybe making pickles. Afternoon is my softball playoff tourney. So after (I hope) three games, I should be wiped out. I think drinking heavily is in order. I've a hankering to MST3K LOTR:FOTR, so that's in order.

Sunday: Our CFO is taking the whole Finance dept and their spouses to Great America (our local 6 Flags park). Should be amusing.

I was trying to make a list of time commitments for the next couple of months--I am booked straight through December. Weeeee!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:29 am (UTC)
Rest, rest and more rest. :) Even though I'm still pissed at my mother, I took her up on the offer to take the kidlings this weekend. They need to see their grandma and I need a break!

If we had the gear, we'd go camping. As it is, we'll probably do a bit of hiking and walking on the beach, spend the rest of the time at home and kicking back.

That sounds so wonderful. :) Can you tell I'm exhausted?
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:40 am (UTC)
What I ought to be doing is tidying and cleaning at least the downstairs in preparation for an Australian friend visiting next week. Whether or not I get round to it is quite another thing. Still got some Dr Who audios to listen to as well, which is much more fun. :-)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:44 am (UTC)
babysitting Elayna on Satdy... otherwise nada.

envy me!

i need a hug. and i need to get laid.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:46 am (UTC)
I'll give you lots of hugs, at least...
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:09 pm (UTC)
envy...and *hug* :)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:34 pm (UTC)
::hugs, lottsa hugs::, and me too, i would really love to exchange addresses ;-)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 08:45 am (UTC)
Tomorrow's my birthday so I have to get very bizzy turning 29. [livejournal.com profile] daoistraver claims to be cooking up some plot for festivity. The suspense is killing me. Naturally, the fun begins tonight.
Friday, September 6th, 2002 11:33 am (UTC)
Happy early birthday! :)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 11:36 am (UTC)
Thanks! I love my birthday, it's 7 of 9. Looks like I'll need a boob job to match my special day

:)
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:07 pm (UTC)
Happy b-day! Hmmm, as for b-day plans..."Resistance is futile" is always a good place to start...
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:34 pm (UTC)
Happy Birthday!!!
Friday, September 6th, 2002 10:40 am (UTC)
Yes, I'm going to Arkansas. For 6 days. *twitch*
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:13 pm (UTC)
Wait. That's next weekend.

This weekend I just have to be boringly studious to make up for my distraction this last week. But I'll probably sneak in some fun. Thinking of going to a movie with a friend...but need to recharge before I spend time with her.

Oh, and I have to make a movie for class...too bad I don't have time to put together an animated one *sigh*...and do some programming and put together a database project.

Geesh, I'm dull this weekend. But never let it be said that I can't stay occupied...
Friday, September 6th, 2002 03:37 pm (UTC)
sleep, work, seeing Garrison Keilor, Oktoberfest, and hopefully, the kids.
