Your Boring Saturday Night

I've done two loads of laundry and drank two bottles of stout. My wife is making cookies.

Also on a laundry tip. Kids are upstairs playing Minecraft. Wife took her dad out for dinner for his birthday. Glass of box wine. Listening to the never-fail Saturday night "Block Party" on WWOZ. Tonight they're playing all 45s from the '60s and '70s that I've never heard of. Disco-funk version of "Moon River." Barbara Lynn. Lee Moses. Things could be worse.

Watching various muppet Christmas specials like The Christmas Toy and Emmit Otter with the family. Enjoyed with some egg nog + bourbon.

a good spatlese riesling, some cheap brandy, some talisker, some other wine, a box of chocolate marzipans, now home and going through today's postmatch interviews with selected epl managers and playing some charles ives tracks

Watched a Dvdscr of Nightcreeper and drank some nice strong Leffe, woke up later and carried on drinking. Looking forward to tomorrow's Geminid meteor shower.

Hey guys.

hi, markers!

Hi. Don’t be mad when you find out I got rid of Slack. :-p

was supposed to go to a play that a buncha friends are in tonight, got ready to leave at 7:20 only to find out the damn thing started at 7, not 8....beh...

btw, if anyone checking out this thread tonite isn’t already following me on instagram, now is the time 4 u 2 mend ur ways: http://shoutkey.com/unobtainable

rewatching the captain america movies, steak for dinner, icecream later, workin on my winter insulation layer of fat

going to a screening of footage from an old chicago-area public access dance-party show from 1982. numero group is working on a release of that stuff and they and cinespia have put together a night at cinefamily.

Hung out in my backyard in the early evening, doing some mellow gardening while listening to CHVRCHES on my new headphones, then just chilled out on the patio drinking a beer by the fire pit. Next up was a family-made dinner of Jamaica beef DUMPLINGS! and corn on the cob with white wine. Not bad and the night is just starting.

redboxing The Equalizer. Grilling some meats. Soldering some stuff.

Watching Patrice o'neal on youtube , still funny

At a karaoke bar. It has played out like every sitcom parody of karaoke. Re-thinking the choices that brought me here.

Soldering some stuff.

I'd kind of like to know what you were soldering, as that would have been my boring Saturday night if I hadn't had a shedload of other commitments.

I resoldered the volume pot on my wife's horrible Dual car CD player. And I did the resistors and caps for the Objective 2 headphone amp I am putting together as a gift for my brother.

I thought I was terrible at soldering, but now I have a temperature controlled hakko, and it is my favorite boring Saturday night activity.

watching a deadly adoption fuiud

dvr'd it. watching the second half of The Other Woman bcz idk too lazy to change the channel

i won't opine on it because i just don't even fucking know

lol

Out past bedtime last night, therefore I'm in rewatching Rio Bravo.

made a warm chickpea salad, am vegging out by the air conditioner rn but may play some scrabble later.

in true boring sat night fashion, i just ate a bowl of instant ramen

Bailed on a party I didn't much want to attend (transportation troubles)...am currently drinking red wine and listening to Thelonious Monk while watching the hockey game w/the sound down

wife went to a party which i thought sounded only sorta fun, i am getting the kids to bed and then will wash dishes and read a hindi novel i got from the library

hosted do-over Thanksgiving - inlaws arrived at 4:30 and left by 6pm, way earlier than i anticipated. so now just drinking tea & bingeing Atlanta in an inordinately cleaner house than usual

i took a nap until 7:30 and felt meh enough to bail on a party. made some DUMPLINGS!, watched a law & order, and now i'm playing with my cable box's pandora integration. so far i've tried out pram and stealing sheep radio

oh and i'm doing a face mask that i bought at sephora yesterday

ha please explain the concept of "do-over Thanksgiving"? did the original not go well, or did it not happen at all? (naturally i hope it's the former :P)

original thanksgiving dinner was cancelled on account of some kinda stomach flu they all had or something

checkin out ilx, listening to ambient music, feel like going dancing.

Hey y’all.

Tea, leftover cake, air conditioner.

salted butterscotch icecream whatup

For the love of god...what does it say about me that I'm spending my Saturday night not only watching old movies in the company of old Capitolfest boys and girls, but logging my reactions for cinephiles who couldn't be there? I desperately need to get laid.

I think you answered your own question there.

i came up with a crossword clue for a household item i just purchased

a display of feathers, perhaps (14)

hint: third and fourth letters are L's, last letter is E

also i got a monthly Max (software) subscription and i'm happily going through tutorials. it is getting WILD over here tonite

Oh shit Max is exciting

We had Mandatory Movie Night and were shown Submarine. I liked it.

My son and I just spent the last hour noodling with ableton synth patches. Not quite as thrilling as Max, but baby steps.

i just watched the first half hour of an SNL repeat who can top that for basic bitch Saturday boredom

I am watching Young Guns on Netflix & waiting for my Mum to skype me with her paypal questions

For the love of god...what does it say about me that I'm spending my Saturday night not only watching old movies in the company of old Capitolfest boys and girls, but logging my reactions for cinephiles who couldn't be there? I desperately need to get laid.

i was going to go out and watch an old movie but i wore myself out eating too much lunch and didn't have the energy for it
