Am not participating in 48 Hour Book Reading Challengy Thingie. Stop.

Had lunch yesterday with a friend I've not seen since 2004. Stop.

While eating, was hit on by a Welshmen named Pascal. Stop.

Is the first weekend in months upon months where I haven't had any plans. Stop. (*aaaaaaaaaaah*)

Have no idea what to buy for my Dad for his 75th birthday next month. Stop.



Addendum to previous notification: Yonge & Dundas might just be playing Wrath of Khan next Tuesday (17th). Hee!

I'm not either. Stupid work. Bah.

*shakes fist at work*

This is the second summer at this Office Job, and knowing I don't have to work weekends is so very priceless. I mean, I still have schoolwork (*shakes fist at summer classes and "graduating in four years"*), but all in all, it's better than the alternative. *shudders*

You have my deepest sympathies.

Aside: I am watching Torchwood, which is set in (of all places) Cardiff, which is where that Welshman named Pascal (see above) is from.

Again, my refrain of "WHY OH WHY MUST IT BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK?" continues as I would love to see Wrath of Khan at Yonge and Dundas.

I was thinking that maybe we (me, you and Sammy) could organize our own TTC knit-a-long thing-y one weekend. Sammy and I could get day metropasses and we could streetcar it up and see the city while knitting.

I'd be on board for that; I'd also be on board for grabbing a few of those Movies I'd Like To Make Y'All Watch and knitting in front of those, too. :)

I ordered Last Night from Amazon.ca, and it is in the mail/shipping as we speak. EEEEE! We have to make Smammy watch it.

NICE! ...What are you doing this Friday?

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Driving back to Markham with Stella, I believe. Why?

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Comment crossover! I'm making plans with you in another thread. :P Wanna hang out this weekend?

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

I'd love to but I have no idea what is going on this weekend. Leslie's talking about coming to Guelph, although she was talking to Joanna about it over facebook and never said anything to me about it and I had to find out from Joanna about it. So until Leslie gets back to me, I have no freakin' clue what is going on. I had already started making plans with Ashley to take her out for food for her birthday, but on Saturday night, one of my friends is in an improv show and I was wondering if you'd like to go? Her last show is this Saturday night and I'd like to make it out. Maybe we could have a sleep over afterwards - or not? I'd have to be back in Markham for lunch on Sunday though because we're taking my dad out for Father's Day.

*reads all that*

...maybe for next weekend, then?

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Next weekend, it'd have to be on Sunday, because Saturday is the company golf tournament and I've already shelled over my money to participate in it.

Does Sunday work for you?

I have no idea anymore. Phil was proposing an "Up Party" - to go see Knocked Up and Surf's Up - for maybe next weekend, too (to which you are of course invited, being one of the Usual Suspects)... *cocks head* Maybe?

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

I'd be in for Knocked Up but I don't have any interest in seeing Surf's Up.

We'll figure things out. *nods* I've been informed that I'm going to be very drunk at the golf tournament, because my former boss is in my golfing group. Heh.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

See, I'm in for Surf's Up because it's an animated mockumentary; as a geek, that excites me. For example, how are they going to animate the camera-shakes and out-of-focus segments and boom mikes dropping into frame? Animation isn't random, so how are they going to calculate randomness? (And also Jeff Bridges does one of the voices. :D)

um. /geek?

Oh, you engineers and your golfing and your drinking and your bosses and your golfing and your engineering. Your ways are mysterious to me...

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Calculating randomness isn't as hard as you think. I mean, you just kinda have to go with things and be like "Hey guys - wouldn't it be HI-larious to have a boom mike drop into frame right here?"

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

True, but the ability to make it seem natural (casual, perhaps) is still commendable. To give the illusion of spontaneity... I just want to see where and why they choose to make those non-mistakes. *geeks more*

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

What do these movies include?

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

I was thinking... a trio of Quebec films? Le Confessional, Ma Vie Avec Claude and either a re-watch of C.R.A.Z.Y. or The Decline of the American Empire or The Barbarian Invasions.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Tempting, very tempting. My copy of "Last Night" arrived today.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

NICE!

[squonk.livejournal.com]

Yonge & Dundas might just be playing Wrath of Khan next Tuesday (17th).

Seriously?

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

According to the NOW magazine, anyway. Starting at either 8 or 8:30, though the official event site doesn't say anything about it. I might swing by just in case...
