What are your plans for the weekend?
 

I'm home alone this evening, so will be enjoying the opportunity to listen to the vinyl that I've bought over the last few months and haven't been able to listen to.

On Saturday, we're going shopping for some furniture in the morning and taking Jane's dad to see the stage show of The Sound Of Music in London in the afternoon.

And on Sunday, weather permitting, I shall be pottering around in the garden.

not much tonight then london on saturday. sunday will be recovery.

I'm moving house tomorrow morning and i'll be unpacking etc.On Sunday i'm going to see a friend and i'll stay there for the next week or so.

Best of luck with the move, Porky. Are you going far?

Thank you.Stepney Green,just round the corner.I'm exhausted at the moment so i have booked some time off in about a week's time.

i PLAN on jamming tomorrow arvo and getting drunk during the jam plus that night. I want to have fun im fucked of being fucking bored

study study aaand.......study

yeah pork, good luck with the move!

Yep, good luck.

I hate moving, it's a bloody nightmare but it's nice once it's all over and you have settled in your new place.

Tonight I am going to a dubstep night that my friend is doing (so I get in free!) featuring Virus Syndicate, Bass Clef (really looking forward to them) and Mary and Hobbs dj set.

yay!

tomorrow i'll be in the NIN gig in lisbon, sunday i'll vote for the first time in my life.

It's very important to vote, and if you're not sure, at least vote blanco. It'll show that you're not interested in current political affairs, but are still active and willing to participate.

Today I have to tutor my douche-bag neighbor in algebra. I assume that I will be paid, although his mom never spoke of money. And I will work on rewriting a speech for my speech/debate class. And probably read a little.

Tomorrow and Sunday, I'll continue the speech thing. Load my amazon shopping cart with things that I want for my birthday. And hopefully see Pan's Labyrinth with a fag hag.

Funny story about Pan's Labyrinth: My sister and one her friends planned to see it at some point. And I, being an ass hole, told her that it was all subtitled because I didn't want my sister (typically bad taste) to see a movie that is supposedly good. I don't know how to explain that. She isn't going to see it now, now that she knows it is subtitled.

i'm 18 now, i can vote!

we're ratifying abortion, it's a very serious matter, everybody should care!

^Dare I be intrusive, and ask how you're voting?

My plans have changed because the thing I was going to has been cancelled. Apparently this country's infrastructure grinds to a juddering halt if there's more than half and inch of snow.

Did i notice that!I've had a record number of cancellations yesterday and today.

I read about that yesterday, that airports had either had delays, or were entirely closed, as were railways. For two inches of snow? Pussies.

My thoughts exactly. Pussies. It's because the staff can't get to the venue apparently..Boohoo...

I am going to vegetate with the new Stephen King tonight (say what you will), and go cosmic bowling tomorrow. Also seemingly geeky, but for those of you who haven't done it, with a bit of alcohol, it's quite a good time. Bad for epileptics.

We have punk rock shows mixed with cosmic bowling here.

We have that too at Piper's Alley, but people dress funny there, and drink odd coffee ensembles. Art-house bowling just doesn't seem right.

Cosmic bowling? Is that ten-pin bowling with flashy lights and glow-in-the-dark balls and stuff?

We also have a bowling alley with a theater attached, but the actual bowling at that one sucks. Worst lanes ever. They can make a shitty bowler out of the best of them.
The one with the punk rock shows is actually pretty nice.

do you agree with the decriminalization of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, carried out, by option of the woman, in the first ten weeks, in a legally authorized health establishment?

yes.

I wasn't intending to derail the thread topic; I was just curious. I suspect this forum is no place for an abortion debate, though it could be interesting.

there are already a few threads:

working on my portfolio

James Blonde will enjoy working & reading books at free time.

Tonight I'm working on Groundwater all night until 2 in the morning and posting here. I haven't been posting very often lately.

Tomorrow I might be going to this girl's 17th birthday party. I only met her once and she invited me :). In all my spare time I'll do homework and Groundwater.

VALENTINES DAY. Probably avoid my girlfriend, I really want to drop this relationship and it's rude to do it on valentines day. I hope she doesn't get me anything :(. She's an awesome person, just lives 2 hours away from me and is a little too clingy.

So Valentines day I'm probably going downtown to shop around for clothing since I have job interviews coming up. Then I'm seeing my friend's band open for Think About Life. Tickets sold out in 2 days. Going to be intense.

i'm fucking annoyed and tired, my head hurts like shit and i wanna smash all around to fucking little pieces. so i won't do ANYTHING! fuck

I'm playing a live set in here:


It's surprisingly warm inside this thing, considering it's winter and this is on a frozen lake. Minnesota artists do a yearly "art shanty" project, and more than one of them have music. This one is called the "Vista Shanty," and is made by some friends of mine. My bandmates also participate and make a "bigloo" that is wired for sound and recording, but I haven't made plans to play in there this year. Tried that last year. They even had an underwater mic set up beneath the ice to capture the sounds of people walking on top of it last year.
A ton of people come out for this too; should be fun.

Minnesotans can be creative. Who'd have thunk it.

what's cosmic bowling

i'm staying in tonight and then tomorrow i'm going out and on sunday i don't know what i'm doing

That's such a neat idea! How does it sound off the speakers? It's similar to an event we have here in ottawa, but even cooler. In ottawa we have the Rideau canal open to walk on, and every year we have a festival with live bands that play on it, and we have beavertails and contests and junk on it. Most of us usually just gets trashed. And the live music is "popular canadian artists" such as sam roberts, unfortunately.

washing dishes.
it's my new job.
i'm a plongeur.

Much how sonicl described it. It's later at night, with strobe lights and other "groovy" visuals, and typically there are quirky rules for how you must bowl. i.e. you have to bowl backwards, between your legs, across lanes, etc. If you consume enough alcohol (oddly enough, I get much better at bowling the more I drink), it's quite fun. It's actually for my sister's birthday, which is even better, as it's entirely paid for. Bless open bars.

Another derailment: I went to a wedding over in your hood once (meaning the UK), and was SHOCKED to learn that open bars are not customary. Is this true? What other reason is there to get married?

i suppose it would depend on the wealth of the father of the bride as to whether there's an open bar or not
