What are you guys/gals doing/have done this Friday evening/night?

I'm currently sat on the sofa typing this on my laptop with a kitten perched precariously on my shoulder whilst watch Series 2 of Black Books on DVD.

Let's see. Probably a little web surfing, a little TV (Rukeyser, the debate, maybe switching for a few minutes to the Cartoon Network or SpikeTV* if the debate gets dull). Perhaps a bit of reading. Not much.

That perch might be a little shaky now, but just wait until your cute little kitten digs in with sharp little claws when she starts to slide off!!!

* - SpikeTV, in their rather curious sense of humor, is broadcasting a mini-marathon of "women in prison" films in honor of Martha Stewart going to jail today...

Celebrating my friend Tod's birthday. Probably going to go to a nearby indian casino and lose unfortunate sums of money, but have a great time doing it.

Although I have to say, the kitten thing sounds really good. I have been jonesing for a new kitten for a long time, but we are under a self-imposed moratorium on kitten purchases. Sigh.

Already happened, I'm sure kitten claws are sharper than cat ones.

I am sat trying to read "Language, Proof and Logic", and trying to answer some coursework questions on the subject (yawn!) not the most interesting way to spend a friday night! So that's why I am distracting myself by posting this

Cheers

Cris.

BTW - Did you name the cat yet?

Off to the vets on Monday to get a final say on wether it's a boy or a girl. We still think it's a she so we're calling her Lottie. If she turns out to be a he then he's being called Dexter.

Having dinner with my niece this evening, along with some minor shopping. Hopefully some nudie bar action tomorrow.

Edit: Umm, I need to point out that the niece and the nudie bar are (hopefully) unrelated.

My Father-in-law's coming to town and we're going to drag him to see a local band and eat the best BBQ in San Antonio- which happens to be in Cibolo, but it's close.

Recovering from a long and bumpy mountain bike trek to three remote geocaches this afternoon -- perhaps some vin rouge and a rented DVD..

EDIT: And a bonus: SWMBO made chocolate chip cookies -- using the recipe from (the) Cuckoo's Egg (book).

Absolutely nothing: Sitting with a mental boxer on my shoulder wondering what the point of Q1 is!

Now, if you had picked the next five:

1. Having dinner with a friend I've not met in 32 years.
2. Having dinner in London, meeting my cousins, my nearest family, preparatory to their son being christened in St. Paul's Cathedral.
3. Eating dinner looking out over Lake Windermere.
4. Eating dinner watching the sun set over the Irish sea in West Wales.
5. Eating dinner on our first visit to Venice.

Too much eating, really!

I have spent the last 12 hours on the back deck trying to fix one of the friggin' streamers we got trailing after us. And since each section is 100m long and weigh about 400kg, they're a real pita to haul around... And to top it off, two of the sections we changed out was just repaired onboard and they failed almost right away... Argh!

I feel better now...

Only 4 more days till crew-X. I feel even better now...

I was about ready to go to bed at 8:30pm (20:30?) because I had to get up at 4am to drive two hours to a site to meet roofing contractors all day long starting at 7am. BUT, my 7am appointment called and canceled, so now I don't have to wake up until 6:30am. Hm, maybe that means I should work on my computer programming assignment for class which is technically due in 3.5 hours but I'm no where near done with.......

Was gonna watch the debate. Now, TiVo will, and I will go do something. What I *want* to do is go buy some batteries, or another electric car.

Sitting at home recovering with Alix, who had minor surgery this morning. I should be at the launch party for the evil boss who got fired today, but that wouldn't be very nice of me to leave him here alone.

I'll be replacing a turbo on a saab 9-5 (not mine) so I can take tomorrow off and go to a wedding (not mine).
I wouldn't mind so much except the car has just 100k miles on it and I really don't think they should require changing yet.
I'm recording the debate, I'll watch it once I'm too tired to scream and throw things about.

have a grand weekend everyone !!

Well, I *was* going to go see some improv, but I got caught up watching the debate, and didn't leave work until too late. So now I'm just sitting at the computer, listening to a couple crazies arguing outside my window, and contemplating the possibility of going to see a movie.

Edit: "going to see" should now be past tense. Three thumbs up.
