Working, but I love my job: stage manager for a jazz festival!

My adult son is returning from a trip with a remnants of a flu, so we are gonna heat up the sauna, watch a movie and make special hot salsa with habaneros and jalapeΓ±os and eat it with nachos. Movie will be something older that he hasn't seen. Truman Show, RoboCop 2 or War Of The Worlds (Tom Cruise one).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I'm jealous... Enjoy the nachos movie night!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

+1 for The Truman Show! I really liked it.

I'm in a group that plays Vampire: The Masquerade (tabletop roleplaying game) every Saturday night. So I will be pretending to be a vampire.

Sunday I'm going to a Thai street food festival with my wife, so I'm gonna try not to stay up too late.

[–] TheBananaKing 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My wife's having a loud house party until 6am, which is pretty much my idea of hell.

So I went hiking and am staying overnight in a freezing country town. Right now I'm having dinner; further plans involve electric blankets and Netflix

[–] tamal3 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Woah your marriage is different from mine. I'm interested.

[–] TheBananaKing 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I have some sensory issues around crowd noise; she is very much not the hike-in-the-mountains type. Rather than one or other of us having to be miserable, we each do our own thing when they'd otherwise conflict. Easy fix :)

[–] tamal3 3 points 4 months ago

Very excellent. My partner and I do some hobbies separately, but I couldn't imagine throwing a party without him. (Given how few I've thrown, that would be a remarkable event for me.) Sensory issues absolutely make sense as a reason to avoid that, though.

I love and respect the way people with different preferences make relationships work... Power to you both!

Returned from a 3 week tour through Scotland and its islands with my GF couple of days ago. We’re gonna do jack shit. We camp on the couch tonight, eat and get drunk.

Thanks, i keep missing this!

My husband and I stayed up late last night ripping up carpet, tack strips, and staples, then washing and painting over the stains on the subfloor, all to prep the floor for the crew today. The new floor is now installed and it's beautiful, so we're going to just chill and enjoy them, have dinner, watch Snowfall, play video games.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, being both a little sick and kind of depressed, I'll probably throw out the salmon I was going to cook for dinner last night, or boil it and feed it to the dog. Then I'll order food that I didn't need and don't want, then I will stay up too late while still being bored, and then I will finally go to sleep to do it all tomorrow, but with a different food to waste.

Things have been going really well for me lately.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My relief didn't show up so now I'm pissed and tired

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You should get the slacker's pay on top of yours.

Probably gonna watch Physics Girl's Long Covid stream. If I can stay awake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I built Lego 42179: Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit

Such an excellent set!

[–] O_i 5 points 4 months ago

Wait it’s Saturday?

[–] RebekahWSD 5 points 4 months ago

I'll turn the frozen ravioli into cooked ravioli, and then for dessert we'll have some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Currently I'm hiding in the bedroom with the stronger AC to get away from the heat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Watching anime with a friend. He's been trying to get me into Evangelion.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Fuck... Good luck with that one. I found it insufferable and pretentious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

And here I was, going for a re-watch because I REALLY liked it all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I haven't been a fan of it so far. Some of the visuals and shots are nice, but there hasn't been one character so far that I've liked, and it tends to drone on in a boring way.

[–] Crashumbc 4 points 4 months ago

Bed and a book.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Decided to have a migraine

[–] foggy 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm at my gfs folks place, nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. We're visiting. Expecting storms. Should be a sit at home and get drunk kinda day I imagine.

[–] tamal3 3 points 4 months ago

I'm drinking beer expecting storms in Appalachia too, buddy! Happy storming.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I only learned it's Saturday 10 minutes ago.

No. No plans.

[–] toomanypancakes 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Most likely I'm going to hang out at home with my husband, have some hard cider, and maybe play some video games.

[–] tamal3 2 points 4 months ago

That sounds perfect

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I've got tickets for Inside Out 2

[–] Linnce 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm watching my state's philharmonic with a famous dance group. I've been wanting to see both for a long time and luckly they'll perform together today!

Enjoy solitude for a bit while SO and kid went camping for the weekend. Might try crocheting something later but right now just chilling with my dogs.
