I'm trapped at work. Let me live vicariously through you.
Are you having fun? What are your plans for tonight? What do you like to do on Friday nights?

8. I don't mind.
They're white boxer-briefs. I didn't even know such a piece of clothing existed. When I bought them, I thought they were just white briefs. Well, it turns out, they're like cotton briefs but they have legs going down over half way to the knees. They are brand new and have never been worn. I just got out of the shower, so there are no skid marks or anything like that on them.

Quite comfy. I got some grey colored ones, too. Unless someone were to look really closely, they would think they are workout shorts. Now, those, I wear at night when I go out to my car in the driveway to get something I left in there, because someone just driving by would never realize that I'm wearing underwear.

;)

5. Actually, I'm doing a lot more work
than posting at DU. We have a full staff tonight, and there's a bit of a lull right now.

6. Good lord
Being at work sounds more fun than that.

Quit spoiling my illusions. I always manage people are having more fun than me.

11. Maggots!
Probably wouldn't be a good movie for someone not feeling well.

13. LOL, I didn't even think of that!
Ah well, my husband didn't want to go anyway, it's not really his type of movie. :)

18. I signed up for the Blockbuster version of NetFlix
I used to have NetFlix, and it seems Blockbuster takes longer to ship. But, you get two in-store freebies every month and one is just down the street.

Glad you enjoyed it. Some people won't go to movies alone, but I've never had a problem with it. It's not like you should be talking during it anyway.

19. There were a lot of young people there...
So there was some talking until some kid shouted, "hey why is everybody talking?" And everyone laughed and (sort of) shut up.

Then some idiot apparently got bored and decided to play with his laser pointer - a little red dot would periodically appear on the screen and wander throughout the scene. Everyone else was quite pissed and after the entire theater shouted for them to quit it, he/she finally stopped.

17. We could play "Who's job is worse?"
Really, I'm not complaining. I'm just happy to be making some money, and there's a lot worse things than sitting in front of the computer.

20. Just finished watching Battlestar Galactica.
Best. Show. Ever!

That's what I usually do on Fridays. But then I go out and do fun stuff on Saturday. I don't really like going out on Fridays. Too tired from the week! :P

22. They moved the SciFi channel
off our basic cable package and put in on digital, which we can't afford right now. No more SciFi for us. :-(

And no, I don't have a job.

28. well
husband came home early, we ordered some Thai food, we watched the last segment of Dr. Who - Key to Time, kid blasted at aliens and I watched the rest of The Banger Sisters ( pretty good actually) and then took a nap. It was the usual Friday night "domesticity/thank God it's Friday- thing."

:hi:

30. Sounds like a nice evening
On Wednesday, I went up to Chicago, (window) shopped on State Street, met Jason when he got off work, had dinner at Heaven on Seven, and then watched the sunset/city lights from the Hancock Observatory. So, we do manage some fun.
