I am going sailing in a couple of hours, then a graduation party for a friend that just received her BS.

hyteckit · May 17, 2009, 09:47 PM

Well, I went to watch the new Pixar movie 'UP' at Disney studios. Early screening off course. Watched it in 3D. Pretty Good. A little emotional in some scenes. Dogs, balloons, Old geezer, and cute kid.

Also, got a new car. Wow, no one at the car dealership except for me. I was the only one there for the whole 2 hours. And this was at a large car dealership. One salesperson working there. Normally there would be like 10 salesperson.

Today, planning world domination.

SAT:. I got up, drove down to Manchester (NH) to workout, with the plans that I was going to meet up with some friends who live in the area afterward. When I got done at the gym I had a text mesaage from ym friends saying they had to make an emergancy trip to ME to her parents house.

So, I decided to make a solo trip down to Boston, I'd been wanting to see the new StarTrek Movie, so I stopped at the IMAX theater inside the Jordans Furtinere in Reading, the only show that wasn't sold out was the one at midnight. I figured "what the hell" and bought a ticket.

I spent the rest of the day walking around boston, grabbed lunch at Legal Seafoods (Prudential). oddly enough I didn't go to the Apple store on this trip, maily because I've saving up for a new iMac (Maybe MacPro if I can swing it) and figured I just be torturing myself if I went in. Later in the afternoon, I did some plane spotting at Logan.

At 9 I took the T back to Oak Grove, where I always park when I go to bean town, and headed back to Reading to see the movie. On the way I made a detour to Kelly's Roast Beef for dinner.

After waiting what seemed like forever to be let into the theater, I finally saw the new StarTrek movie. It was good.

Exhausted, but fulfilled, I made the drive home back to NH. Due to a sudden heavy downpour I had to slow down so I didn't get back to New London 'til 4AM.

I didn't wake up until 2PM sunday and felt like garbarge. I spent the rest of the day just chillin' at home.

Apparently I bought all my friends a round of Jager Bombs on Saturday night, I know this from the $72 receipt in my wallet.

What a dumbass...

I never take my credit/debit card with me when I'm going to be out drinking. Just my ID and some cash.

I'm a little late coming to the thread but all I did was pack all my crap for my move to Punta Cana this coming weekend. I could really use a drink right about now.

I typically do this, but last weekend I had $100 in birthday cash in my wallet and another $100 from a friend paying me for his half of our hotel room in cash, so much of that cash disappeared in the form of shots for lots of people.

Birthday + lots of money in pocket = danger

I've just come to accept that $1,000/month has to be budgeted for bar expenses. Budget accordingly and it's no big deal.

brassplayersrock² · May 19, 2009, 02:27 AM

drinking bar, or bar exam?

Kerrigan · May 19, 2009, 02:38 AM

the former, although i do have to take the bar at some point.

drinking is such a waste of time and money. it feels so good when i take one or two month breaks from it. not to mention it seriously cuts into my budget.

I smell a new set of stickies placed around your house with the above written on them.

mattyb · May 29, 2009, 04:09 AM

On call for Saturday morning FFS, then off to an air-show with the kids. Hopefully my son (2 yrs old) won't be too scared.

design219 · May 29, 2009, 04:18 AM

Taking my kids to see Pixar's UP.

ctt1wbw · May 29, 2009, 06:14 AM

I have a final exam. Plus, I have three weddings on Saturday. 2 hours apart from each other. I'm the photographer. I have to download them, spruce them up a bit, burn them to cd, upload them to my Picasa account, plus print out a color photo for each of them. All inside of two hours.

osiris · May 29, 2009, 10:06 AM

Going to see the Japanese film おくりびと "Departures".

Laminar · May 29, 2009, 10:09 AM

Tonight: Chilling with the fiancée. Tomorrow: Working on my car, shooting guns, birthday party. Sunday: Unsure. We'll see.

Friday: Swimming at the YMCA and then relaxing

Sunday: Worship and then relaxing

harbinger75 · May 29, 2009, 10:50 AM

I'll be:

Picking up my two daughters from their "Mother" (insert random negative pronoun there), taking a buttload of photos (since the rain decided to give us a friggin' reprieve) and generally hanging out with our 5 daughters and having a good time around town.

5 DAUGHTERS ?!?!?!?!? The stress that you must go through.

Jawbone54 · May 29, 2009, 12:51 PM

I'll be shooting a wedding, editing two weddings and an engagement session, getting media together for Sunday, and studying for a public speaking session in another week and a half.

All work for me this weekend.

Geez, more shooting. How many lives must pass before we've satisfied our insatiable lust for blood? How many?

ghporter · May 29, 2009, 01:19 PM

My wife and I are sailing out on a cruise today. Won't be back for a week. About darn time we got some "us" time. This WILL be a great weekend, followed by a great week.

Cool. I'd like to try that again. Prices of decent over-and-unders touch the 1000€ here. Plus I think that the clubs are closed during winter months.

Yup. Two are mine, three from my wife. They range in age from 9 to 14. Life is a struggle some days.

mattyb · Jun 5, 2009, 12:40 PM

Rainy weekend apparently, after such a nice hot week - typical.

The kids are going to tear the house apart.

Atheist · Jun 5, 2009, 12:44 PM

Gonna check out the beaches here in Bavaro.

design219 · Jun 5, 2009, 12:50 PM

My sister is getting married. Again.

turtle777 · Jun 5, 2009, 12:59 PM

Continuing to furnish and sort out my new place. I just moved.

Weather is supposed to suck, so no pool time for me.

starman · Jun 5, 2009, 01:11 PM

NIN 5th row.

Beat that.

ghporter · Jun 5, 2009, 01:14 PM

Just got back ashore from a week-long cruise. Flying back home tomorrow. Doing laundry all day Sunday.

Do you have to give her a gift this time, too?

Tonight I'm going to try and fab up the rearsets I just got to one of my old bikes. Leaving Saturday at noon for a business trip to sunny, tropical North Dakota.

harbinger75 · Jun 5, 2009, 02:53 PM

Well, THIS weekend (June 5th), I'll hopefully be picking up a MacBook Pro, the Adobe Design Suite, a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and then hanging out with my wife and driving around in our topless Jeep. No kids this weekend, so we're going to breathe a little bit.

Have fun? Seasick or what? And what boat?

MacTheRiverRat · Jun 6, 2009, 12:49 AM

Had to get a new complete inside/outside heat/ac unit for the home. I hope to sit around and watch the St Louis Cardinals play a game, mess my with my laptop, tease the cats, grill something.

It was a great cruise. Rhapsody of the Seas, is a beautiful ship, about 80,000 tons and about 900ft long. She used to be based in Galveston, and we sailed on her three times to the Western Caribbean. This time, we cruised up the southern Alaska coast to Juneau, Skagway, then back down to the Tracy Arm fjord, Victoria BC and back to Seattle.

No seasickness, but it was really beautiful weather and calm seas. The only downers were a) the aggregate age of the passengers was about 70, b) the aggregate health level (on a 0-100 scale) was about 40, and c) the old farts tended to complain about everything and didn't seem to mentally present at the oddest (and worst) times. Plus d) we had to have our dog Lobo put down while we were in Victoria-a real bummer way to end a cruise.

It's great to be home, have our washer and dryer handy (

), and play with the cats and Sunny, our 9 month old GSD puppy.

ctt1wbw · Jun 7, 2009, 06:11 AM

70??? Holy cow, I thought young people took cruises!

Anyway, that's a nice looking ship. I'd love to do something like that, except maybe just a whole lot smaller. After being on 6 ships with around that many people on them, a smaller cruise ship would suit me better.

And I've been to Victoria. Very nice city.

I camped the entire weekend in Bourne just over the Cape Cod Canal. Today turned out to be the nicest day, coinciding with our leaving.

There were some families with a few young children-two toddlers that were just priceless, in fact. And some young people in the sub-25 range. But unfortunately, the oldies really took the demographic cake. Still, we had a great time. There were about 2500 passengers, and except for the buffet, (and debarking) there were few crowds and decently polite behavior everywhere.
