What Are Your Plans For The Weekend?

October 16, 2009 By Jeff 101 Comments

octobersnow

Snow is falling on the Upper Pierogi Belt, in mid-October.  The picture above was taken in our front yard, only moments ago.  It’s amazing to me.  Didn’t the World Series just end?  (Congratulation Oakland!)  It’s too early for this stuff.

Anyway, yesterday was a very successful excursion into yurt-style writing in the round.  I put a lot of words on virtual paper, and think the way I arranged them is at least semi-interesting.  I’m getting ready to go out there again, for another ten or twelve hours.

Here are some pics I snapped inside my hippie hut.  As you can see, it’s very cozy.  And the best part?  There’s no internet.  I’m more productive in that ridiculous setting, than any I’ve found.  And at $33 per day, it’s a deal.  I wish I could buy an internetless yurt of my own.

I don’t really have a decent Question for you guys, but wanted to check-in and interrupt the vomit/fake dad conversation.  Thanks to Chris, the Angry White Guy, for keeping things interesting.  He’s been keeping things interesting since 1973, or so.  And I appreciate it.

Since it’s Friday, why not just tell us what you’ve got planned for the weekend?  Simple and straightforward.  Use the comments section below, to bring us up to date.

And I’ll see you guys next time.

Now playing in the bunker

    I TOLD THE MAN THIS MORNING THAT I PLAN TO DO NOTHING THIS WEEKEND AND HE SARCASTICALLY SAID “YEAH LETS SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT”

    LAST WEEKEND I THREW A DINNER PARTY FOR HIS FAMILY FRIDAY AND HELPED MY MOTHER MOVE SATURDAY AND DROVE HOME FROM THAT NIGHTMARE SUNDAY AND I THINK I DESERVE A LITTLE DRINKING IN MY JAMMIES……..DAMMIT!

    @ Gretchen- I too was an angry youth. I once followed someone who cut me off in traffic for MILES honking and finger soluting until she got home parked her car and I was finally able to cuss her out appropriately.

    I was not a very nice girl

    Business as usual…working 11p-7a fri. and sat. it ought to be a real treat at work…the world famous Keene NH Pumpkin Festival is this weekend….nothing better than having your whole county taken over by tourists for a day…your lucky if you leave your house to be able to get back into your own driveway….very similar to the locusts that are spoken of in the Good Book….wish me well….hopefully five years of sobriety don’t go down the drain

    I’m the only one it seems…

    I’m going out real early to murder a poor defenseless deer.

    I’ve even practiced how I’m going to do it, all silent with a bow.

    MMWWWWAAAHAHAHA!!

    The usual: Flying to Monte Carlo tonight for a little casino action! Hooking up with a couple of ex army buddies & driving to Paris for a good old fashioned Saturday morning bank Heist! Celebratory drinks at the crazy horse afterwards, & catch the Sunday red eye back to the good ole U.S.A. I think I’m in a rut!

    Our faithful hound Jess died today, so we’re going to do something really good to cheer the kids up.
    Maybe a safari park, (though I can always tell by the looks on the lions faces that they somehow know that Scotland isn’t in Africa.) The kids love it though and thats what counts.

    currently listening to Thin Lizzy – Whisky in the Jar.

    @Bikerchick; Hell no! Philly, of course.

    @Tilly: If he had kept going and merely flipped me off or something I would not have chased him down or anything like that. I was an angry lass but never went looking for trouble like that. He chose to just stop dead shortly after the intersection and refused to budge. People ended up all over the place in the intersection because of his petulance. I was actually afraid he was going to cause an accident. It’s when he got all snooty with me about moving his entitled ass that something snapped. I probably didn’t cure him of being an asshole, but I doubt he ever pulled that shit on anyone again.

    well since my bearcats kicked some ass last night i might watch pittsburgh beat rutgers tonight. tomorrow is red river rivalry (i don’t give a shit, but i’m in okc and have to). sunday is work and the bengals making the texans their bitch.

    add a smattering of beer throughout.

    right now it’s country music and a bud heavy, but that’ll change.

    @ Dave

    Cheers mate.

    Jess was 16. We knew she was on her road out, then her back legs just packed up on Thursday night so it was a trip to the vets yesterday. She gave us some great times and she didn’t suffer.

    ‘Sucks’ works, but ‘that’s pretty pish’ would be more colloquial (pretty meaning ‘fairly, quite,’ in this instance, not the other meaning.)
    ‘Shite’ would work too.

    Lets hope its not raining tomorrow, nothing looks more fucking miserable than a wet chimpanzee.

    Drank a “Joe” tonight…made by Philadelphia brewing company. its beer brewed with coffee and quite tasty. Jeff(or anyone), if you come to philly you must take the Philly Brewing Co. tour. it’s a good time and pretty much all the free beers you can drink. They’re nice folks as well.

    Tommorow-scouring the internets for a new job, but probably will end up downloading music and dicking around. The internets are the Devil. i need a yurt. They should sell them at Loews or something.

    I plan to even out the “Shiny Rods” of our area…by AVOIDING the city of Raleigh [and the NC State Fair] altogether. My nerves just can’t handle that level of chaos.

    Instead, I’m running errands, hanging out, and celebrating my Nooze’s 9th birthday. This will apparently include baking a caramel chocolate cake with butter cream frosting.

    Ian – So sorry to hear about Jess. Dogs are awesome.

    Weekend plans – out of town family event this afternoon that would be awesome except for a couple of bad apples. Hopefully there will be plenty of alcohol to make the bad apples more bearable.

    Plans for this evening – drunk dialing Tilly.

    Plans for tomorrow – phone calls to apologize to whoever else I drunk dial tonight.

    Sorry about losing your dog, Ian.

    Vegii – how did your Friday audition go?

    Limey – at least you’ll be able to check for leaks, etc. good luck.

    I went to see Paranormal Activity last night. a good skeery movie, I tell ya.
    Now the boy and I are going to the pumpkin day at Heston Farm in Fairmont. the weather sucks but we told our friends who run the place we’d be there, so we’re going. gah
    I have a TON of errands and work I want to get done before I go on a short business trip to Chicago Monday, so I’m feeling overwhelmed. So I had no business going to the movies last night and just now watching an DVR’d ep of House. Tonight, I’ll be going to a friend’s house later for a dinner/movie. wtf? my priorities are messed up! I’ll be busting my hump tomorrow trying to get shit done. The Steelers will be playing, of course. I need to focus. Maybe I need a yurt.

    Would it be hard to build a yurt? I wouldn’t think so. Buying one can be kinda spendy tho. Over at Ranier Yurts (yes, really) the 16 footer is about $5800.

    And Alice…your priorities are rite on…family and friends come first. Of course the bills have to be paid so maybe I should just STFU.

    $5,800 for a yurt is a sound investment. Imagine being able to rent it at $33 per night, assume a 25% vacancy rate. Now tell me it’s a raw deal. Fucking asshole. Yurts rule. Yurts are the wave of the future. You’ll live in a yurt one day, as will your children and grandchildren. Assuming you can procreate. YURT! YURT! YURT! YURT! I’ve an erection now. YURT! YURT!

    One thing that you might not of tried yet, and should, is the sucking of my cock. Don’t you lecture me on yurts you stupid fuck. I’d like to meet you tonight. I’d like to “skull drag” you. Know what that is? That’s where I jab my fingers in your eyeball sockets and grab you by the roof of your mouth and drag you about the streets. You’ll be dead long before I’m done. I’m sure I’ll be left with a pathetic head and spine combo. Fuck you, hippie. Goddammit. Meet me? Meet me so I can kill you?

    The coconut tits put the odds 2 or 3:1 in Jason’s favor. T. Farty you at least need a a pink-poofterific, flamingly flamboyant skin-tight muscle shirt, perfect hair, and some suspenders worn by Urkel on Family Matters to even the odds.

    Which reminds me of a great “Steve don’t eat it episode:”

    The sun shone on us, and the chimps today, and we had a great time at the safari park. Even the lions seemed content (though they could tell from the far off scent of something being deep fried, that they were still a long way from home!)

    Hot damn I got a date!! It’s a year away, but I got a date!!

    Greg….shame on you for picking on my Herd. They aren’t even in the same league, so I think they did pretty damn good!!

    My Tigers pulled a big one over on those Deacons! Woo Hoo!!

    Problem with a home yurt is that it might pick up the wi-fi signal therefore making your yurt useless for it’s intended isolation.

    And on a much more serious note, my Bearcats are ranked #5, the Fuckeyes are at #19. Hang on that, Sloopy.

    WVBumblebee and Greg… I can report back from that game. It sucked the proverbial ass. The “slight drizzle” was non-relenting. I can take a hard rain or a blizzard, but that shit was just a plain annoyance. It was almost like getting gang raped in prison (so they say), just waiting for it to end. I wanted to cut my own throat on several occasions. Yet, I stayed til the end (almost).
