Well, for me, my lady and i are going to see the 3D Nightmare before Christmas (http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/3/n/N/nightmareposter.jpg) (Her pick) and Saturday we are going down to a quasi local 3 haunted houses and a haunted hay ride, farm, thing.

I don't know why i make thees threads =)

My parents are coming into town.

I'm going to probably finish Folklore.

WHAT WHEN.  I totally forgot.

Help finish a buddy move, watch the Cowboys. Next weekend should be more exciting.

Finish wiring the basement, watch hockey, watch football.

I'm working, because my job sucks and my boss wont hire more people.

Entertain siblings-in-law and their kids by going to the Renn Faire (http://rennfest.com/).  Sunday = Football

Poker, then TiVoed hockey tonight. Likely yardwork, some college football, and some HG:L tomorrow (and maybe more poker). Sunday headed to the Seahawks game to shiver and drink, then more TiVoed hockey and some sleep. I need a 4 day weekend, goddamn it.

'nucks game tonight, going Curling tomorrow morning (seriously), possibly poker Saturday night, running a pnp game Sunday. Consumption of beer to be spread evenly accross the board.

What a silly thread.

I keep looking at that game in the store, then i look at the spot reserved for the ps3 near my TV, then i look at my bank account, then i cry a little, and curse your name.

Are you going to the game tonight?? I have heard that tickets are pretty damned scarce these days.

Righ going to another Porcupine Tree show and he's staying over so I'll probably do kitten stuff and stare blankly into space when they sleep.  Oh, and I'll watch F1.  I won't sleep until he's home and safely under my thumb on his recliner, dozing.

I'm going to do my Statistics exam, a paper, some classwork, and probably sleep a lot. Sigh.

Driving approx. an other 1800km back to the East Coast, to move my girlfriend home.  Fuck.  Talk about the MMO grind, try driving 24 hrs  :evil:

Pub + World Cup Final (Rugby) mostly.

Catching up on Tivo stuff, cutting my hair, watching futbol on Saturday and football on Sunday.

I want to watch the Rugby World Cup Final, too, especially considering who's in.  I just don't want to spend $30 to watch it all by myself.   :cry:

Supporting two SAP cutovers (at least one kernel upgrade) from 9pm tonight until maybe 6pm Sunday.  Also putting an untested script onto one of the production servers and crossing my fingers.  Again.  So, you should be seeing plenty of me.

Yea, they are pretty scarce. I'll just be watching from the comfort of my couch, cursing the lack of an HD broadcast.

Going to a Ice Rays hockey game (minor league, duh) tomorrow night.  Hang out with a friend coming down from Dallas.  Get drunk and watch some football. 

I seem to the the only person that doesn't watch some sort of sport.

The again, if they added randomly exploding balls to football, soccer, and baseball...Id watch then.

Oh, and convicts, and those "Portable wholes" from ACME , the moving kind..on the field.  :evil:

I am hoping I get the Canucks broadcast on Center Ice.  :heart: Jim Hughson.

Is Sami going to play?

Gonna hang out with the wife and play the EQiII Expansion beta 'cause next Thursday I go on the guys golf trip.

Just finished exam week myself. I'm dead. I can't wait to go home HOME this weekend, there are people who have promised me I'll be playing Hockey. It shall be great.

Sami is still a few games away. Edler and Linden sitting, Isbister playing with Naslund/Morrison tonight.

Hughson is currently the best play by play guy in the business.

You should be happy to know that I'm from Ontario and love the Canucks, Bunk. Not all of us blindly follow the leafs.

* work on some side projects, including games at various points of development
* dive deeper into new programming book that I just got delivered from Amazon, Programming in Lua
* complete reading of books checked out from library this week
* celebrate our son's birthday, we're going to hit the sports bar early Sunday A.M. and throw down some cold frothy beverages together and enjoy watching NFL action
* laundry

Yeah, pretty boring (except for the cold frothy beverage part…)…

Friday:  haircut (hopefully), drinking, go to cute coworkers art studio open house thingy, drinking, sleep.

Saturday:  grocery shopping for new house, breakfast, Ohio State game on TV, drinking, attend ex-coworker and his roommate's big party w/ free top shelf booze, drinking (duh), sleep.

Sunday:  Bengals game (sigh), drinking, go to some thrift shops looking for halloween shwag (haight maybe? Goodwill on Fillmoe?), also stop at some used bookstores (wherever I end up trying to find costume bits), drinking, sleep.

I plan to watch Gurren Lagann while drinking to the eventual deterioration of my liver  :awesome_for_real:

Also why did  :awesome_for_real: find its way here?

Tonight: work :(
Saturday morning/afternoon: sleeeeeeeeep in
Saturday evening: got good tickets to watch the Pens whoop up the Caps again, followed by pub
Sunday afternoon: work :(
Sunday evening: watch the Steelers whoop up on the Broncos, followed by bitching about my fantasy team losing again. 

Oh wait. I'm going to poker/diaper party tonight. Lol.

Maybe I just wanted to forget.

Saturday: Sushi and shopping in Ft. Collins, CO

Sunday: Shoveling snow.  No, I'm not kidding.

Isbister? Ugh. Why not play Trevor? He has tomorrow off to recover before Sunday's game.  If Edler is out, I am guessing Krajicek is back?

I recently discovered that Zack Fitzgerald is in the Vancouver minors. He was so much fun to watch as a junior- hell of a scrapper.

1.  Recover from vacation. 
2.  Put in winter lawn.
3.  Go to UofA football game.
4.  Go to Avenue Q.

Which all insures the following on Monday

5.  Attempt to catch up with 2 weeks of work (and 2 weeks of missteps while I was away. Fuck, how hard is it to read a schedule, people?) while being dreadfully exhausted and/or sick.

I'm afraid to ask... will file under Shit You Do In The Desert.


Negative.  There is another.


Your posts are always a delight.  Five points for Fanciful Language.

Finally, I don't care for smileys.  I like :awesome_for_real: a great deal.

You live in NYC? We just had family come to town over the past 3 days and they went to see Ave Q. They loved it.
Im embarrased but will honestly admit I never knew the music from the World of Warcraft "The Internet is for Porn" video originally came from this musical.

My fiance and I will be flying from NYC to Columbus, OH for the marathon in Columbus this weekend. After running we are going to check out the Ohio Ren Festival.

Update.

working on f13 wiki too

  I went to see them last night, 10/19 in Hartford, the show was excellent, I must say however, the opening band "3" really blew me away, I was really really impressed with their live show, and the crowd seemed to really get into it too.

I saw '3' twice on the last PT tour, where they were also the support band. In NYC I thought that they were just so-so, but that singer/guitarist Joey Eppard was really impressive. In Philly, their sound man decided to raise the volume to ear-splitting levels. I left the building and waited for the windows to stop rattling before going back in. In NYC last weekend, PT had Head>>Fake as support. They are Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun - the rhythm section of Living Colour, but they do something more in the style of Tack>>Head, one of Doug Wimbish's former projects. I loved it. In Atlantic City tonight, its '3' as support again. Hopefully they'll play at more sensible levels (I doubt that the PA at the Trump Marina has the power of the Electric Factory in any case).

But its all about Porcupine Tree for me. They're just phenomenal.

How was the 3-D experience? I'm curious to know how a flick that wasn't made to be be viewed that way would come out.

Replaced the heater air filter, took out the garbage, almost finished the X TV anime (had to stop at the last episode when my son woke up - I think it gave him nightmares), played the trial of LotRO (Gladden, a Loremaster and a Champion), played CoV, tried a new kind of scotch, and did some work on the orders spreadsheet for the monster 4X PBEM I've been slowly writing rules for since 2002.

Thrilling, no?

I'm on post-Mass Effect vacation all month. I ain't doing shit.

Gurren Lagann finished.  On towards the burning spirits.

I do.

I was at a party on the weekend in Ottawa, and someone shook my hand and said she admired my tenacity as a leafs fan. Wtf, are we the new Chicago Cubs?

Well, 3 were a lot better this time around - reasonable rock concert loud, second guitarist did parts that fitted the songs better, more songs from their recent album. Pretty good all in all. But Porcupine Tree were much better still. Great gig.

There's a travelling show of Ave Q now, so chances are he may have hit that.  At least that's my plan for December when it comes to Baltimore.

I've got tickets for the DC showing on Dec 1st.

Yea, pretty much.

Weekend is over, but I snagged tickets to the Flames/Sharks game tonight. ROX.

Yep, weekend is over, welcome to shitty Monday worker bees.

Stay tuned for another exciting and pointless thread at the end of the week  :awesome_for_real:

I begrudingly get up for work and decide to persue digg to alleviate my drowsy state, whereupon I learn that techcrunch.com makes 240,000 dollars in advertising a month.

That blog's a piece of shit, the only reason I know of it is because they get all their 'top 10' lists dugg, it's probably the only reason they're popular in the first place.

If only f13 made that much, although we would need the entire right hand side to have two columns of ads like they do.  And then I wouldn't have to go to my crappy job.

$240k? What?

How could those ads pay that much?!

TO THE INTERNETS!

The site has an Alexa ranking of 656.  Most of the time those rankings don't mean a whole lot, but once you get into the top 10,000, and then top 1,000 most popular sites on the internet, the prices you get offered to place ads on your site go up substantially.

  I have to admit, I've owned "Wake Pig" by "3" for probably close to a year, and it really didn't impress me, just seemed really generic, but that whole Flamenco style slap guitar that Joey Eppard was doing was something I'd never seen before, definitely a band that is so much better live than on CD.  I'm really not a Porcupine Tree fan, I only own Deadwing from them, but I really liked the songs they did with the video backdrop, I just have no idea what songs they were or I'd go grab another album or two.  It's definitely not my normal style (I prefer more "traditional" metal and death metal stuff), but I think I can convince the gf to listen to them, so it's better than her putting country on.

EDIT: Found them, Anesthetize and Sentimental seem to be the ones I was looking for, score 1 for the gf for borrowing the new CD from a friend to check them out.

Yeah, the videos are mostly to the last album, Fear of a Blank Planet. This tour the more laid back numbers My Ashes & Sentimental have only been played at a couple of shows each, while Fear of a Blank Planet, Anesthetize, Way Out Of Here and Sleep Together have featured at all the shows.
