I'm going to a big neighborhood Kentucky Derby party.
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks for the link bon! Does it ever drag or refuse to load for you?
Yeah, it's a bit of a crapshoot.
It is! You should regale us with random facts you've learned from QI.
The activity that is three times deadlier than being in a war is not, as Jimmy Carr thought, three wars, but going to work. That show is awse. I may watch it all night.
Also, if you try to load up an episode, your computer freezes, you press ctrl-alt-delete a few times, then restart, and your computer says it is missing a file important to restarting, your hard drive is fried and you will lose about three years of locally saved work!
I guess it could have happened at a much worse time-- the aforementioned all-nighter-- and at least I had a guilt-free reason for leaving work at 6 and not going in this weekend.
I'm going to a Little League practice at 9:30 on a Saturday. MORNING.
I am going to learn how to shoot a shotgun
My tip: press the butt into your shoulder hard to cushion the recoil. I see people on tv all the time with it practically caressing their shoulder and it makes me nuts. Where are you going to shoot?
bon bon, would you seriously take me to the gun shooting place in your neighborhood some time?
Since I got caught up on my sleep last night (zonked out on the couch before 10, didn't wake up until 8:30 this morning), I'll be able to do laundry and dishes tonight, and get a couple of swims in this weekend (first time in three weeks, due to the nastyhorriblepainful sinus infection) before going down to see my dad on Sunday afternoon. The rest of the time, I'll be watching my Netflix disc of Macbeth (Dench and McKellen--yay!) and working on my sister's wedding gift (finally got the first color in the border completely done so I have a base to count from for the rest of the border).
I'm going to a Little League practice at 9:30 on a Saturday. MORNING.
I have to leave the house close to 9:00 tomorrow, but I get to see JZ and Matilda, so it's hard to mind too much.
What are people doing this weekend?
I have a concert Saturday night (Wagner, blah), and we leave for the cruise Sunday. Eek.
And the Derby is this weekend, isn't it?
Where are you going on the cruise, Dana?
Sure, though I think that's a handgun place, which of course is a lot like other guns but I have significantly less experience with.
