Plans include, but not limited to :

Going to Carcassonne, haircuts for the males, organizing the next weekend visit to the in-laws, and sinking a few beers.

iMOTOR · May 15, 2009, 08:44 AM

My weekend will probably be spent gardening and making something from the latest issue of Make.

Drink beer? Sounds like a plan, stan. Where in France are you?

Doofy · 10:27 AM

Work, probably. But since work at the moment generally involves sitting around drinking beer and auditioning dancing girls*, it won't be too stressful.

(* promo video stuff, y'know )

Tiresias · May 15, 2009, 09:08 AM

I will start part three of Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. Or perhaps some sex, drugs and rock and roll. I haven't decided yet.

osiris · May 15, 2009, 09:11 AM

Smoke some doobies and drink a box of wine. Oh, and work on some CGI stuff.

Thorzdad · May 15, 2009, 09:20 AM

Mow the lawn, put some rabbit fencing around our pepper plants, go to my daughter's softball tournament, watch some of the second weekend qualifying at Indy, drink some Bell's Two-Hearted.

Oneota · May 15, 2009, 09:33 AM

Seeing a movie with my brother and fianceé, packing my place up to get ready to move to our house next weekend and getting the condo ready for its open house on Sunday (anyone in the WDM, IA area need a nice condo?).

Common gateway interface or computer generated imagery?

Actually, computer generated imagery - I'm working on surreal mushrooms, of all things.

Maflynn · May 15, 2009, 09:51 AM

spending time with my kids tomorrow, and working sunday (hassle of being in the IT sector). given that I work many nights and weekends, taking the time out to be with my little ones is a high priority.

Laminar · May 15, 2009, 10:26 AM

Birthday/engagement party tonight, recovering and working on my car tomorrow, book a honeymoon Sunday, weekend over.

SSharon · May 15, 2009, 11:01 AM

I'm 2 hours into my 8 hour secured transactions final. What the hell am I doing on macnn, back to work!

Weekend plans include studying for my next final which is on national security.

brassplayersrock² · May 15, 2009, 11:17 AM

enjoying my post-graduation from college ceremony aka lounging around for the weekend with the good family, and then looking for a job

Yeah right. Sounds like a hard life.

You do know that the honeymoon is usually done AFTER the marriage don't you?

design219 · May 15, 2009, 11:21 AM

My son's birthday party is tomorrow... a bunch of kids here for a cook out.

Sunday I have to photograph a high-speed boat race.

ghporter · May 15, 2009, 11:21 AM

Helping our son move into his first apartment, laundry, studying for a certification test. My wife's working at least on Saturday, and there isn't a lot of "fun stuff to do" alone at the moment. NEXT weekend I graduate and there will be parties and stuff, but THIS weekend I have lots of mundane stuff to take care of so NEXT weekend will be smooth and fun.

I was under the impression that you book a honeymoon before you take it.

Planning ahead (and paying for it too) make it much easier to avoid the issue my wife and I still face. Next January is our 30th anniversary and we still haven't taken an actual "honeymoon." Maybe shortly though; a week after graduation we're going on a nice cruise together without any other people we know. That should be great.

ThinkInsane · May 15, 2009, 11:55 AM

Drive-in tonight for a horror triple feature. Saturday is a friend's graduation party. Saturday night Enter the Haggis is playing, so I might catch the show, but undecided. Depends on when I leave the party. Sunday absolutely nothing.

Or I might catch a plane and go assist Doof with drinking those beers and vetting those dancing girls. Cuz I'm helpful like that.

lyanma · May 15, 2009, 12:33 PM

I'm gonna watch a crappy movie at a crappy cinema with a friend. Hopefully going to take some pictures for fun.

Not too sure how close that is to either Marseilles or Brest, but I've been to both of those cities. Beautiful country there. I'd love to go back.

And I just cut the grass. We have people checking in this afternoon and a few weddings this weekend, I believe. Plus, I have tons of frakkin homework to do. I have my work cut out for me.

sek929 · May 15, 2009, 03:25 PM

My liver has been bad lately, I'm going to punish it this weekend.

Dakar V · May 15, 2009, 03:29 PM

What about your lungs? Have they been disobedient?

Laminar · May 15, 2009, 03:29 PM

And your short-term memory? Has it gotten out of line?

sek929 · May 15, 2009, 03:32 PM

Who said that?
but yeah I have a joint the size of a sausage waiting for me tonight

Dakar V · May 15, 2009, 03:32 PM

Also, has your gfs vagina been mouthing off?

Edit: Damn, missed it by that much.

sek929 · May 15, 2009, 03:34 PM

....priceless

She won't be joining me tonight, she has her last final early tomorrow morning, which is good because I just annoy her when I'm drunk anyways. Something about pawing at her and talking to loud.

Dakar V · May 15, 2009, 03:35 PM

A saturday final? What evil thing is she studying?

sek929 · May 15, 2009, 03:36 PM

With that humor it's a wonder Leno didn't pass the torch off to you.

[2] Bell's Two-Hearted in my favorite beer of all time. In college I used to go to the brewery and drink at the Eccentric Cafe.

Yup, along with the marriage plans - since you usually leave the day (or days) after your wedding to go on your honeymoon.

Careful there, smoking Labrador will f*** you up.

Railroader · May 15, 2009, 04:03 PM

Forgot to add my plans:

Fri: Take the kids to the RC race track
Sat: YMCA, State Park, TV
Sun: Worship & relax. Probably a board game with the kids. Some video games.

sek929 · May 15, 2009, 04:04 PM

Far. Marseilles is about 3.5 hours drive by car, and Brest is lots further. Toulouse is a nice city. Its got some large towns around it that are nice as well.

Mrjinglesusa · May 15, 2009, 04:30 PM

Having people over tonight for BBQ and beers.

Tomorrow, recover from tonight - no plans as of right now. Might go see Star Trek in IMAX.

Sunday, light yard work and some video games.

Demonhood · May 15, 2009, 04:31 PM

shoot an all day concert
clean up and pack (i'm moving)
perhaps attend a party
perhaps play some hockey
assorted tomfoolery

Then we did real world-like experiments. One guy figured out the statistical distribution of different colored M&Ms in plain and peanut varieties. The other class was healthcare statistics, which was more geared to how to USE statistics when doing studies-and to emphasize that when you go to publish, you should HIRE a statistician to do the numbers for you correctly.

An finals on Saturday is rudeness on the part of the faculty and administration.

shifuimam · May 15, 2009, 11:01 PM

Like most of my weekends, this one will consist largely of Lucky Charms, "your mom" jokes, and a mass quantity of cat hair.

Oh, and I found a PS2 DDR pad and game for $15 at Walmart, so I'm definitely getting some of that action tomorrow.

SpaceMonkey · May 15, 2009, 11:06 PM

Packing for a flight tomorrow morning to Boston.

cwkmacuser · May 15, 2009, 11:41 PM

Getting up at 7:00 am to play a concert with the Berkeley Youth Orchestra!
