DUers not going out tonight - check in!!

I'm not.

Long afternoon at the stores... need a drink but don't dig the bars. If only I had a TARDIS, but they really don't exist, you know... :D

Am in for the night

The world is safe.....for a while BWAHAHAHAHAH!

being at home. Even though I work at home, it's still work. NOW I'm ready to kick back and relax!

Redstone

you really get around! The floor is beautiful!!

someone comments on it, and EVERYONE who visits the house for the first time says something.

Thanks, LG.

Really.

Redstone

Well, looks like they did a good job.

-Laelth

fast and meticulous, which you don't often find together. At least our crew was.

It's cheap though--oak that was given a dark stain, like a cherry, and then given a clear finish. Mexicans did ours, I think. Nothing wrong with their work, ultimately, but we were in a hurry to move in. It was during the Summer, and the floor needed about 3 more coats of clear finish to be really nice. Of course, in humid GA it takes about a week for a coat of clear finish to dry (no joke), and we couldn't wait long enough to get the floors done right.

the type that won't do an automatic shutter-advance, complete with covering parts of the lens so you can do multiple shots and make it look like you're in 5 places at once?

I'm thinking the latter... unless you took multiple separate shots and then made that little montage via Photoshop. :evilgrin:

Beautiful home!

DU and computer game! Yay!

My beloved Maryland Terrapins not only didn't make it into the NCAA hoops tourney, but they were ousted from the lowly NIT tournament by MANHATTAN, in most ignominious fashion, while I watched in horror, working out in the gym earlier today. :cry:

Just finished day 2 of a 4-day mediation course. I have to be up and in class by 8:30 AM tomorrow. No fun for me tonight.

:(

-Laelth

But I suspect mediation will pay better (once I complete the course and get registered to do it). ;)

My wife is giggling at a South Park episode and we really can't afford to go out more than once a week. Last night was our allowance for the week.

but this Saturday's different. My daughter's home on break. :)

We watched A History of Violence and Balde Trinity, now fixing to watch Hotel Rwanda

...and waiting for a phonecall from a certain woman from NC.

I mean, except for my wonderful daughters and my best buddy Chai, the knuckleheaded husky dog.

I'm off in a minute to pick up #1 daughter from friend's house and then we'll all be watching Firefly episodes until we can't stand it anymore.

and my pity party... I hit a fairly big mile marker (four years + and 35,000 posts) spent a while constructing a post that tried to capture highlights of the DU over that time... in an attempt to celebrate with folks... and it is ignored by most... :shrug: not sure why I bothered... *sigh*

but tonight I wonder if perhaps I really no longer have a place at the lounge... long time in the coming... changing dynamics and all - which is all cool... just perhaps the time to recognize that when even friends ignore a heartfelt reminiscent post/thread - that perhaps no one is listening ... and one sided conversation seems rather pointless.

Thanks for the comp - it is appreciated. Have relished this place a long time. Just starting to recognize that perhaps this portion of the DU is no longer a place where I fit in... again cool - places grow and change, which is healthy... sometimes perhaps it takes wisdom to realize when the changes no longer allow a fit for one - but does allow a fit for many others ... growing pains and all...

Or perhaps laments from exhaustion and deadlines that I have spent the day trying proscrastinating (though I have worked for weeks on them hence the exhaustion) :shrug:

Who wants to keep me warm???

My feet hurt; I did the Minneapolis antiwar march this afternoon. A good turnout, but my couch-potatoish carcass is suffering from having walked 4 miles, when normally I don't move around much.

Haven't heard of anything happening, so I guess I'm staying. I'll probably go to work tomorrow too. :shrug:

I learned that I don't really do my best on Sunday morning when I'm out on a date on Saturday until 2 a.m. Go figure. :shrug:

I have nothing to do this evening but keep an eye on LeftyKid, clean house and DU as time allows. That's a fairly typical Saturday night here at Casa de Lefty.

mightily (if such a feat is possible) I'm doing homework....Sigh.

I however can't really complain, I've definitely gottne my mileage out of Saturday nights in years past.

I'll be around.

but we had a heavy snowfall last night, and this morning...the roads are crazy, even buses are getting stranded in the streets.

My snowbank is taller than my car. A neighbour was digging out, and it was up to his shoulder. (and he's not a short man)

I was so looking forward to going out... x(

So I'm staying home. Well, I went out this afternoon, but basically, I'm home this weekend, which is weird.

And I'm watching my thread die a slow death.....*sigh* :cry:

with my son being sick. :( :hi:
