rolanniMy, aren't we an experienced and well-read bunch of folk! Thanks to everyone who responded to yesterday's Idle Query -- and give yourselves a hand!
Today, is the Thirtieth Anniversary of Steve and Sharon got married! (They did what?) I have cleverly caught a cold, but we still hope to have a quiet celebratory dinner out this evening.
In between, there's bookkeeping, and story-sketching (my brain was busy reviewing all I know about a Certain Subject all last night, which made for some...entertaining dreams), and cat-scribbling, and yanno, The Usual.
What are your plans for the weekend?

Date: 2010-11-06 04:21 pm (UTC)Weekend plans? That would be work. 4p-1a tonight and 2p-10p Sunday. Ugh.
Although given that Sat/Sun will be the entire week this week (coming off a week of vacation and my weekend is Mon/Tue) it doesn't sting too much. Also, I should (if I don't goof off all morning) be able to continue on projects I've been
tacklingdesultorily poking at lately.Right now, I'm nursing a bit of a hangover (changes music away from the Bruckner 5th) joyfully earned while showing newbies a good time at Ebisu.
Isn't Ebisu a beer?

Date: 2010-11-07 08:35 am (UTC)In the US, the beer is spelled "Yebisu", Ebisu, in this case, refers to a sushi bar/restaurant in SF with a (IMHO) well-deserved reputation for being the crack cocaine of sushi bars...it only takes one dose to get them addicted.

Date: 2010-11-06 05:10 pm (UTC)We're celebrating Bonfire Night - the anniversary of Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot with family and friends. There are fireworks for the grandchildren to watch, my daughter is making those traditional English dishes of Pepperoni Chilli and Bolognese with a choice of baked potato, pasta twirls,rice or tortilla chips (or any combination of) and my son and daughter in law are bringing the mystery dessert.
I'm sitting anticipating.

Date: 2010-11-06 08:37 pm (UTC)What am I doing? Getting pissed. Oh, for transpondians that's 'drunk', not 'angry'. 500ml of Henry Weston's 2009 vintage cider, at 8.2%ABV, gets me decidedly non-sober. And watching Fringe and eating 2/3 of a pizza (the rest will make breakfast tomorrow).
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet...

Date: 2010-11-06 10:01 pm (UTC)I'm working, hosting authors and musicians this weekend, but it's
fun. Ooo, latest quote is, "I said, 'Really? You couldn't have tuned first? It's not chinese opera!'"

Date: 2010-11-08 02:37 am (UTC)I spent the weekend out of town for a Vietnam Veterans' reunion. I'm not a veteran myself (as you know if you've read my response to the Idle Query, I was too young), but as a consequence of knowing a guy who knows a guy, I was involved in providing musical entertainment.
On the trip to and from, and in spare moments in between, I read John Scalzi's Old Man's War series. (I also took, but didn't end up reading, Gene Wolfe's Soldier of the Mist. These were selected arbitrarily out of the set of Books That Have Been In The To-Read Pile Too Long, and it didn't occur to me until much later that there might be considered to be a theme going.)
The unplanned portion of the weekend included a nasty cold, with coughing, sneezing, dripping, sandpaper throat, and mucus in a variety of intriguing colours. I seem to have survived.

What did you think of Old Man's War?
